About Me

Hmmm... That's a tough one. I am almost 21, I live in Athens, which I love and I'm studying history in the Univeristy of Athens. I am a travel person (once I had to live without a computer because I kept spending my money on trips instead of buying a new one-no regrets) so expect to hear "When I was (insert place)..." stories. I just finished my Erasmus in Genova, Italy and I am enjoying the Greek summer weather.
I am in an international relationship with a Turkish girl (yeah our gyros is better than their kebab,sorry not sorry Turkish people) so you can guess that I'm an open minded person. :P
I love basketball and my favorite team is Olympiacos Piraeus.
If you're in Athens, do drop me a line and I can help you with getting to know one of the most ancient cities on this planet!
If I send you a request and you're thinking "Oh that guy has no friends or references", it's because I am completely new to the CS world. If you want, we can have a Skype meeting before you accept or reject my request because it's totally understandable having fears or doubts about someone you don't know.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meeting new people from all over the World. Isn't it the reason all of us are here?
Cultural exchange is so amazing for me, it's like exploring new lands, you never know what you'll encounter but still every time is fascinating.
So let's meet, people!

Music, Movies, and Books

That's a tough one... I would definitely describe myself as a rock lover but I'd gladly listen to pretty much every typr of music. My favorite band would definitely be the Muse!
I am not a cinema person, to the disappointment of my friends, so I can't really distinguish one movie as my favorite.
Give me books about the First World War, the Interwar years and the late 19th century and I'll be a happy man. Boring I know, that's my thing. :P

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I turned 18 I went on an Interrail experience with 2 friends of mine. 8 countries, 11 cities, countless experiences and stories. Would definitely do it again.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach some basic Greek cultural characteristics and phrases to anyone host or visitor.
To anyone visiting Athens,since I am a history lover and student I can really guide anyone with passion around the Ancient ruins and help them understand the greatness and beauty of the Athenian centre. Story and experience telling is always included. ^_^
Also... Let me introduce you to the amazing world of Greek music!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Talks about anything (if you're into history I'll get excited), an honest try of cooking a Greek recipe (result is not guranteed though :'( ), cultural and lingual exchange and the promise of extreme cleanliness during my stay. I give importance to that because I know how disgusting a dirty visitor can be.

Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Monaco, Poland, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Turkey, United Kingdom, Vatican City State

Countries I’ve Lived In
