My father was greek and was born in Egypt, my mother was portuguese and was born in Morocco.
I have worked as a math teacher in Guatemala,Algeria,Tunisia,Burkina Faso and Senegal. I found out then that people, deeply inside,are very much alike wherever you go and that sympathy and love are universal.
I have been learning languages for years and I studied linguistics in the nineties,a subject that enchanted me more than mathematics that I studied twenty years before.
I'm a member of three other hosting associations (Servas and Lghei and Pasporta Servo ).
I can host you in my flat in İzmir where I stay about 5 months a year.

PHILOSOPHY

life is to short to hurt each other.
