About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I'm currently traveling around the world on my Vespa scooter 2-up with my girlfriend Alexandra!

ABOUT ME

On October 2013 I started for a trip around the world on my Vespa scooter. I left Greece and decided to take a big break so I can clear my mind! My goal in this adventure is to understand more about people's cultures, behaviors and ways of life. Till now living on the road is a wonderfull thing! Sometimes a bit difficult, a bit boring, a bit lonely, but such a unique experience!

PHILOSOPHY

Relax and enjoy life!
Even if everything looks impossible, we can fight and turn things around!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Unfortunately I don't have my own appartment so I cannot really host people yet. Nonetheless, I would love to make new friends from all over the world, drink a coffee with them and show them around my city. Contact me if you wish to visit my city and you don't have a place to stay...Maybe I'll find a place for you.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I had my first couchsurfing experience some months ago in the beggining of my trip around the world. It was in Italy and it was great! I think that CS is the best way to understand the local culture and to know about the place you are visiting. If not the best, at least the fastest and easiest! So after all these experiences as a guest, I hope to meet more people through CS, and when I go back to Greece to host and welcome as many people as possible!

Interests

First of all traveling on motorcycle! Also I like whatever involves technology. Some good music of course (mainly rock), cooking (I'm still learning) and enjoying good food (all types) with my friends. In this trip it's the first time in my life that I have so much free time, so I've set another goal. To read some books and free up my mind.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I drove all the way from Greece to the northmost point of Europe - Nordkapp (Norway) - through Russia and back, on my Vespa scooter, in 24 days! At this moment I'm traveling around the world on it!

Teach, Learn, Share

I was studying car mechanics for two years. I don't know many things though, I'd say that I know the very basics, but I'll share these few things with you and try to fix your broken car (I know some good mechanics :P ). Also my hobby these days is making videos of my life on the road. I can give some tips so that you can make a cool video within few minutes!

I love good food, so I will appreciate if you can teach me some tips of your food culture!

What I Can Share with Hosts

My hobby is photography and making videos of my life on the road. I can give you some tips so that you can make a cool video within few minutes and / or how to capture better photos.

I can also share some delicious Greek recipes with you.
