ABOUT ME

Tall but a bit clumsy. Blond (well i am a redhead now) with blue eyes.
Lazy but determined when i find something i like to do.
Like to stay out late and sleep a lot except for when i'm working.
Social till the point of over-talking sometimes! :)

PHILOSOPHY

Live your every day like a challenge
Be optimistic and smile even when you don't have something to smile for!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am quite new to the whole couch surfing experience. My flatmate introduced me to it. Although i didn't have a profile till now I have been hosting people with her (Kalli R.) since November 2012.

Unfortunately during the last winter and summer still i am working late hours and even though i want to host and meet people my schedule doesn't give me a lot of choises. I hope to come back to hosting soon...

I have mostly used cs as a host... BUT this October (2014) i had my very first trip abroad to Italy and i couldn't resist taking the part of the surfer this time : )
The experience was great!!! I met lots of interestring people and i hope to travel more from now on and get and also give good experiences with "total" strangers even though you can always connect in a way with just anybody. Cause after all we are all human and we are all experiencing the same positive and negative feelings...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

While participating in cs, since November, i have met people of early twenties till late thirties from different countries. It's very intriguing!
The most interesting thing is the fact that you find out the stories that are hidden behind the faces you get to meet.

Interests

Dancing and singing. First thing i do in the morning!
Drawing, reading books, sometimes writing short-stories.
Taking long walks, cycling, swimming, hiking (new to the last one)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Recently visited north Greece, Ipiros, and hiked the mountains next to acherodas river!
You should visit the area. The view at the top of the mountains is amazing!

Teach, Learn, Share

I think that all people can teach and learn from everybody just by talking one to another. Any situation and any person can give you something and you'll give him something in return as well. It might not show from the start but somehow in the future. You never know how something or someone can challenge and change your point of view and life!!!
