I am a divorced dad of three wonderful children which I adore and they are my life.

Other than that and besides my day job which is beeing a project and desing manager at a swimming pools construction company, I am a painter. I have exhibited in 3 group and 5 personal exhibitions so in my house there is also a small part of it that is my studio. You may see me painting there. My favourite time of the day is when I put on some music, a glass of wine and paint. Always working on my next show. In my house music, wine, art, jokes and friendship is a must.

Also for six years now I practise Tantra philospophy and treatments. Tantra is not a philosophy that requires a modern-day householder to renounce the world by giving up family, job, possessions, and pleasures. Instead, it emphasizes personal experimentation and experience as a way to move forward on the path to self-realization. Tantrics were independent thinkers. Tantrics seek liberation in the world, not from the world. Tantric bodywork is a beautiful and brave act of care and self-care. If you decide to receive this type of touch and attention it is an acknowledgment of yourself as a sexual person regardless of your sexual preferences or the level of sexual activity in your life.

I love cooking so most of the times you will also enjoy something of the local Greek/Mediterranean cuisine.

The last two years I am writing a book about human relations and mostly between the two genders.

So between art, music, talk, drinking, cooking, tantra session and enrgy fields talk, I would love a good chat to have some material for my book.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have traveled a lot and mostly in Europe but the last years I don't, so meeting people from different countries and cultures is something I miss. That's why I ma in couchsurfing now. Also I love telling stories about Greece, my city Thessaloniki, and promoting our enormous history.

Music, Movies, and Books

Favourite books many but most of them are Greek :)
A movie and also a story and a book I love is "Love at the time of Cholera". I also love the movie "Eat, Pray, Love"

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I think the most amazing think that I have done and still doing is raising my three wonderful children.

I can teach you basics of painting or if you stay a lot of time some more advanced painting lessons. Also a first touch to the Tantric philosophy and a session.
