About Me

I was born in Greece but have lived in the USA for most my life. I love to travel and explore the city. I like going to bars and coffee shops, I enjoy hiking, and when traveling I usually hit up a museum or two and be sure to check out the local history and culture and architecture. I also like to eat.

I consider myself a citizen of the world, am respectful to others, love meeting locals on travel, and am conscientious to others.

Open to meeting other travelers from around the world to hang out for a coffee, beer, to explore the city, to offer local advice on what to see and where to go, etc..

PHILOSOPHY

“The crowd is his element, as the air is that of birds and water of fishes. His passion and his profession are to become one flesh with the crowd. For the perfect flâneur, for the passionate spectator, it is an immense joy to set up house in the heart of the multitude, amid the ebb and flow of movement, in the midst of the fugitive and the infinite. To be away from home and yet to feel oneself everywhere at home; to see the world, to be at the centre of the world, and yet to remain hidden from the world - impartial natures which the tongue can but clumsily define. The spectator is a prince who everywhere rejoices in his incognito. The lover of life makes the whole world his family; or the lover of pictures who lives in a magical society of dreams painted on canvas. Thus the lover of universal life enters into the crowd as though it were an immense reservoir of electrical energy. Or we might liken him to a mirror as vast as the crowd itself; or to a kaleidoscope gifted with consciousness, responding to each one of its movements and reproducing the multiplicity of life and the flickering grace of all the elements of life.”

-Charles Baudelaire

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I would like to meet more people when I travel, either locals or other fellow travelers. Sometimes I travel solo so trying to make the best use of technology to make things more fun and/or interesting.
