Curious, passionate about life, happy 90% of my days, enjoying the good, reframing the bad.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet people from all backgrounds and to learn from what they can teach me. I especially love meeting people that are self-conscious and lively!

Interests

I try my best to maintain a healthy mind and body so I meditate, introspect, and read sciences - especially neuroscience, informatics, psychology and philosophy. I exercise every day and I like cooking and eating well. I love playing the guitar I run marathons as often as I can... I also like to juggle with things that break easily...

Music, Movies, and Books

I enjoy all music that has spirit and soul - I've spent many years listening and playing blues, ragtime, celtic music and gypsy jazz.
I dont like watching movies, I feel that when it happens I am being programmed - I prefer mingling with people or even sitting still under a tree doing nothing :-)
One of my favourite books is buddha's brain that mixes two of my best interests - neuroscience and introspective meditation.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've finished a Ph.D. that I initially thought it was impossible. It took me seven years to finish and I've put my heart and soul in it. You can read it online on my site at http://thanassis.com

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach anything I know. I'd love to learn many other things - especially in areas that I have no experience in.

What I Can Share with Hosts

If you visit me you'll have to try my cooking! No recipes - every time it's a new improvisation.
If you play any instrument we'll have wonderful jamming sessions!
