Stop the war. Stop over-consumption. Start living with your heart.

Everything except the present moment is boring.

I once told a friend of mine that I really love Greece, and that it's a good love because Greece is always there for me, Greece will never leave me.
And today I am reading Krishnamurti: ‘Words have given beautiful walls, but they have not given space. Memory and imagination are the pain of pleasure, and love is not pleasure.’
There is space inside people. But we can find landscapes. And this is about love.

'You may love your dog but the dog is your slave. Apart from animals and buildings and books and poetry and the love of the land, do you love anybody? Which means not asking anything in return. Not asking anything from the person you love. Not depending on this person at all. And if you are attached to somebody is it love? Go find out!'

'Freedom does not mean being able to do whatever you want, but it does mean being free from all the troubles and problems of life.'

I'm here to meet real travellers, people like me who travel far away to experience a new country/nature/culture
I want to help and be helped by these travellers, spend time, share knowledge and passion. I don't use Couchsurfing very often. But I was very lucky to find true friends here. And to have unique experiences with unique people. What's the most important? The people

CURRENT MISSION

Create a healing community
Create more works of art

PHILOSOPHY

*Everything on Earth has a purpose, every disease is a drug that cures it, and every person is a destination

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I don't want travelling to be a consumption of ‘the best’. I don't believe in ‘the best’, I believe in a unique journey.

Interests

* Nature (I am in love with mountains, beautiful landscapes, trees, animals. I love to go hiking. It makes me really happy)
* Music
* Writing (I don't know if it can be considered an interest, sometimes I think it's my escape from reality, but yes, I've been writing a lot since my early childhood)
* Travelling (of course), I think I was just born with a desire to travel. At first it was travelling with family and with friends during the summer holidays. At the age of 28, I started travelling really far and long term, and not as a tourist. Now I plan to arrange my life in such a way that I won't stop travelling. I like moving too much!
* Buddhism, Zen Buddhism, shamanism, spirituality, culture, art, architecture,...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was born as a human being

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to eat healthy and I would love to share what I know about nutrition so that people can become healthier
I am also always willing to give advice on interior design
If I have my tea and cup with me, I can talk about the Chinese tea ceremony
If I have my camera with me, I can take a beautiful portrait of you.
I can tell you something about art and love

What I Can Share with Hosts

It's always very individualised, but - time and attention
