CURRENT MISSION

The unexpected

ABOUT ME

I am a half Dutch and half Greek traveller, photographer, and writer.

My desire to travel the world was born cycling through Spain and doing an exchange in Chile. Soon I was hitchhiking through Chile and traveling through South America. After finishing my studies with a masters in Public Policy of Latin America, I decided I needed to travel the world.

Now I travel the world, looking for adventure and constant learning. I look for opportunities to evolve my photography, I am constantly learning languages, practicing yoga and meditation, and learning from the people I meet.
My biggest goal is to keep learning and growing, while also sharing knowledge, love, and kindness with those I meet.

I speak Dutch, English, Spanish, and Greek. And I am learning French, Swedish, and German.

Perché sono iscritto su Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

My experience started with a couchsurfing basketball group in Santiago. Since then I have surfed in Latin America, Europe, Australia, and Asia.
Whenever I have the chance I love to host people. Amazing people have stayed with me when I was studying in Leiden, and when I was picking fruit in Bowen, Australia.

Couch surfing to me is about sharing, so whether I'm surfing, hosting, or meeting people, my intention is to share knowledge of all kinds.

Insegna, impara, condividi

Sharing and learning to me is the most important thing about couch surfing.

- Language: I have a passion for languages, I'm always learning them and love to help others with any languages I know.

-Photography: I hope to be constantly improving as a photographer and love to share the knowledge I have gained doing many different types of photography.

- Yoga: I have been practicing yoga for several years know, and while I still plan to do a teacher training course, I have already taught yoga to many friends and several strangers who have been very positive :).

- Meditation and Buddhism: I have been investigating and practicing meditation over the last couple of years.

- Cooking: Like many people here I love to discover different kinds of food and share my own. Greek food of course, but also many others.

-Philosophy and life: It is a great blessing when you find someone who you can share, learn and discuss your views of life with.

Reading: Over the last years I have rediscovered that many people love hearing a story, that I have a good reading voice, but mostly that it is so much fun to read to people.
