About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Trying to find a job

ABOUT ME

In 2012 we decided with my love and wife Audrey which by the way is french and with which we met in the Erasmus program in Sweden in 2008, to leave Greece and to move in Canada, Montreal-Quebec. We stayed there one year with so wonderful experiences.
Finally we decided to activate our plan B which was Norway, since Canada was not what we were searching for.
Now we are in Norway and we are both in the same class where we both learn Norwegian. A very intensive program...
We like so much Norway and we are trying to get installed here.

I was born in 1980.
After studying hotel management and working in hotels i changed my life and studied special education. I worked 2 years in Special education, one of them was in a school for blind students, such a wonderful experience!!
Audrey was born in 1983. She is a french teacher and also has a master in culture and communication. She worked a few years in France and Greece.

Generally in our life we try to develop ourselves with experiences, thinking and conversations as well as some quite time with ourselves.

We love Nature and our hobbies are structured around it.

Audrey likes reading, horse riding, travelling and so many other things...

I like swimming, reading, photography, traveling and so many other things...

PHILOSOPHY

each person is ideal
each philospphy is unique
aim of the people could be discussing with other and conclude for their selfs
My aim is happiness...The persuit of it

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We would like so much to host couchsurfers and contribute to this excellent idea but right at this moment we are living in a student house where transportation is so difficult and therefore so not so easy for you or for us. If you have a car (road trip) it is great. But of course it depends on what you search for a couchsurfing. In anyway just send us a msg and we ll find sth out :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

We have couchsurfed in some European cities Riga, Amsterdam, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Stockholm.
We hosted many people in Greece and we became best friends!!! We still have contact with some of them which we totally miss, but we see them from time to time...

I like as well romantic stories, nature movies, documentaries.
music : jazz, meditation, rock, greek ballads and any kind that will make me feel as i want to feel specific moments of my everyday life

An amazing thing we ve done? A 17000 km North America round road trip in one month the 2 of us with my sister and brother in law.
