UPDATE

I will be in Porto until March 2018.

ABOUT ME

I was born and spent my 12 first years of life in Thessaloniki, Greece. Then from 12 until 18 years old I went with my parents in Santorini (this famous and beautiful island in Aegean sea in Greece). I came back to Thessaloniki to study in the school of civil engineering in 2008, I graduate from there in 2014 and I give exams and pass in the faculty of political sciences. In 2011 I was an erasmus student for 5 months in Porto, Portugal.

I think of myself as an outgoing and friendly guy, more or less a typical kind of person that likes to spent his day doing something (whatever it may this be) and at nights drinking a beer in some good bars or staying at home and watching a movie.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Mostly because of my love for finding new places and meeting new people.

Interests

After I finished with my studies in the faculty of civil engineering I am attending some classes in the school of political sciences in Thessaloniki. I was always interested in political siences, sociology, philosophy and the humanitarian studies in general so I m happy that finally I found some time to attend some classes.

I used to do sports but for small period of time, I tried tennis, football, going to the swimming pool. The only thing that I never stopped doing is byciclying. I use the bicycle for my everyday transportation to the center and also whenever i want to take a ride just for the fun of it.

Also, I like to listen to the music ( mostly my favourites, because I m bored to keep an eye to every new band that appears nowadays), watch some movies ( recently I found myself very interested in films and I m watching one movie per day, sometimes even more), and of course books (literature and political or social stuff)
