About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Mission? Travel around the world and get to know other people's cultures!

ABOUT ME

I believe I'm easy going even though a bit on the shy side. I accept people uncoditionally and I try to face each new day with a smile. I love music, although I can't play or sing to save my life. I love watching movies and tv series and then obsessing over them. I dance when there's music I like and I'll always find a way to doodle on random pieces of paper. I read books and I adore cooking and tasting all different kinds of food.

PHILOSOPHY

Everything in life is worth a shot. Live without regrets.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Since I don't live by myself currently it's not easy to host. I'm hoping to find people who will be kind enough to let me stay with them for a few days and if someone decides to visit the city I live in, I'd be more than happy to show them around and hopefully, when circumstances allow it, maybe even host.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've only hosted once, a lovely couple from Paris for a couple of days in late 2010. It was a wonderful experience and I'm really looking forward to the next time I will be able to host someone.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: Moulin Rouge, Howl's Moving Castle, Back to the Future, The Nightmare Before Christmas, most superhero movies

Books: Harry Potter, Artemis Fowl, Lord of the Rings, Eva Luna, One Hundred Years of Solitude, Discworld Series, His Dark Materials, The Song of Achilles, The Princess Bride, Dark Matter: a Ghost Story, Sharp Objects

Music: mostly pop/rock, but I also love classical music. Sometimes I'll listen to hard/classical rock, I love OSTs and I've even delved in k-pop for a while.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One of the most amazing things I've seen in my life is the Sphynx in Egypt. People are always going on about the Pyramids and how fascinating they are but the Sphynx took my breath away. One of the single most beautiful things I had the pleasure to see. Second to that, is a semi-coherent conversation I had with a barman in a pub in London, discussing which local beers I should try.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have a special place in my heart for the Irish and the Japanese cultures and all languages. I want to learn about all the secret places in towns only the locals know about. I want to meet people who can share their super secret recipes with me and I can share my own wonderful ones with them. And I bet I can educated anyone who will listen to me about books I've read and what each one gave me. I can help whoever would be willing to learn the Greek language and how to eat properly like a Greek :D
