About Me

CURRENT MISSION

enjoy simply being in here and now :)

ABOUT ME

Willing to taste as much of world and life as possible(since I doubt my ever understanding its truth), but also contribute to its questions, by trying to give, rather than find, answers. Seeking for deep(or more shallow;) conversations and loving human moments. In general cheerful,jumping on photos! Trying to overcome my limits(except if shy:)), and my fears(though still a bit stressed). Don't like people not caring about the ones next to them, would like to influence them positively:D.

PHILOSOPHY

Learn and earn
Give and live
(sounds deep, big challenge :-)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

hmm... I have mostly been visiting people around EU within and out of CS and hanging out with passers-by in Athens showing a couple of "real"sights. Without having a place of my own I couldn't host, but hopefully soon, as soon as we get settled down in our WG (flatsharing) in Berlin and our guest room is free, I would love to finally also have some international hosts every now and then :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

well, still haven't had a lot, but up to now I have met through CS some of the craziest people in my life:
the well-meant craziness, the one where you get to write a poem half-half in different languages and finally get the most cohesive and lyric verses when you translate it, the one you get to learn the basics of spanish and teach the basics of greek in 3 days, the one where you meet a turkish CS friend for a coffee and he solves your questions on what to do in your life next :D purely human touch

Interests

-Cinema: I've finally just starting studying it!
-Theatre: love being on stage (although haven't been for a long time) and directing others on stage, or participating in any way in a performance* ok, watching a play or two sometimes as well ;)
have been my love, passion, child friendship, now trying to get into directing
-General: exploring places & discussing with people in everyday life about not everyday life, moving around in the fresh air or water, singing with friends or on the street, drinking traditional drinks(love greek raki), swimming, climbing

Literature(shame on me, I have very rarely time to read, but I like eg. Camus, Brecht, Beckett, Orwell, Steinbeck, Kazantsakis), must read history and finance sometime

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

hmm... i have no such "striking" moments- i always like to live my experiences as a whole and remember small moments or bigger ones, and for sure from both sides, better and worse, as life is ;)

Teach, Learn, Share

Discussing and exploring together is by itself sharing and learning and teaching:)
I could also come up with some idea for some kind of improvisation, may it be a game or invisible theatre on the street or filming some stupid but true moment we have.
Want to learn local language basics, cooking and traditional skills from people I meet, and open to any other interesting skills, such as music!
