About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Stayin' alive, stayin' alive, ah, ah, ah, ah...
Naaah, just expecting to live tons of good experiences, whatever they are.

ABOUT ME

Born in Brussels, with a greek passport, lived in Beirut most of my childhood, my teenage to adult life in Switzerland, and now in France. And so many other origins and history, thanks to family. What a mess, eh?
Well, it's not over. My goal in a near future would be to live driving my van, on the road all around Europe. And what next? Honestly, i don't give a damn for now. I'll see.

I'm an open-minded, easy living person.
I love meeting people around the world, i think we can learn something from everyone. And travelling, to see the world, to meet different cultures, and to go through some beautiful landscapes, like walking through a picture, you know.
I love having a beer (or twelve) sitting outside (or in a bar, when i can afford it) listening to some good music, surrounded by good people and have some deep and interesting discussions. But i have no problem with talking about crap and singing stupid songs.

PHILOSOPHY

'A mind is like a parachute. It doesn't work if it isn't open.'

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Travelling, hosting, having fun, meeting people and sharing experiences!
I can't host for the moment because i don't even live at my own place, but i can share some time with you, and we could visit the area together! I can drive you if needed.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I was hosted 3 weeks in Espoo, Finland by Heidi's adorable family, and she came to visit me in France one year after that. We're good friends now and i'm so glad i met her. I couldn't had a better first CS experience.
I was hosted a night in Tallinn, Estonia, by Fred and his lovely wife.
And i've hosted an awesome french girl when i was still in Switzerland, and we saw each other again months after.
I was hosted in a very cool flat in Copenhagen as well.

Interests

Music, tattoo, drawing, books, photography, music festivals, booze, mind expanders, nature and landscapes, meeting people and travelling. The feeling of living an adventure. Discovering hidden awesome spots everywhere i go. I play bass. I really enjoy cooking pastries, and FOOD in general (i'm following a vegan diet but i don't care if you don't, i won't piss you off with that). I love driving my car on sunny days (slowly, softly, but still, i love it). I simply enjoy being in presence of people i appreciate.

Sometimes, i enjoy procrastinating too.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Roadtrips, and tons of weird stuff...
Once you decide it, every day can be an adventure!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can cook for you! My banana-cinnamon muffins are unforgettable. And maybe i can teach french, or drawing, i guess. And i can introduce you to metal music, hahaha! And answer to some questions you might have about the tattoo universe.

And i'll learn everything you can teach me, if i'm interested of it!

What I Can Share with Hosts

As told before, i can cook for you, and help you with anything to do at your place if needed.
If you ask me early enough, i can buy some french food for you before coming! (please, don't ask for cheese, the security is going to arrest me again in the airport, haha)
