About Me

I'm back hosting!!!!

hello! welcome to my profile, hope we meet in person one day somewhere in the world.

I live following three simple directions:

1.- Strive to leave a positive psychological footprint, that is, influence everyone around me in a positive manner.
2.- be open to learn from everything and from everyone,
3.- live in a healthy physical and psychological way.

I value curiosity, creativity, honesty love, and gratitude, followed by love of learning, perspective and social intelligence.

I love challenging conversations and the sound of silence too. We can be sitting in complete silence and I will be happy, we can start talking and I will start digging deep in the subject.

About the languages: I am not totally fluent in greek, but I can communicate quite OK!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

"We construct our social reality" G. Myers 'social psychology'.

I enjoy trying to find deep connection with the people, and what better way to start than by breaking the barrier of fear and trusting a person to enter into your house and become part of your life for some days.
