Hi fellow surfers!
I am originally from Cyprus, studied and lived in London for 6 years. Last year I moved to Istanbul to work and explore. I am an Industrial Designer but I have done many jobs apart from that (activity organising, community advisor, tv presenting, diving guide, 3D modeler, photography and the list goes on). I am an easy going and open minded person, I know I know, its probably stated by everyone here but I am different! :PP you see, I can walk on my hands. Seriously.
Apart from that I am an activist and a humanitarian, also contributor towards sustainable future. I believe we can be the change we want and we are all connected through nature but it is still open for discussion! :))

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Well, I am broke and don't want to pay for accommodation :)))
No, not really; obviously free stuff is always a plus but as an internationalist, I believe this is a perfect opportunity to meet similar minded people while exploring the diversity of the personalities, traditions and cultures. My dad raised me with the thought of 'main richness in life is to collect friends, rather than money'. To sum up, I am here to add more people to my collection of friends (sounds creepy? refer to the previous sentence) while learning about theirs and teaching my values. Also who can help you to explore and learn more about their home than its natives!

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to anything that feeds my soul depending on my mood :) however I should say I am a big reggae fan!

Watched too many movies, read many books, so can't decide actually! Although I can say that Into the Wild and George Orwell's '1984', has left a great impact on my view of the world.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Deciding to leave my comfort zone and starting to travel. Wanderlust got me, best decision ever!

Teach, Learn, Share

Everything happens as it goes; you teach, you learn, you share, you exchange.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Positivity, experiences, creative designs, moments, insights :)

If there is help needed and I am able to provide it, I would do it.

Would like to shoot portraits of my hosts and share it with them as a thank you gift. Also, can provide customised 3D files (nothing major, their name on a product, favourite saying etc. something that wouldn't cost me a day to design basically) for my hosts in order to use in the future or present time if they have access to 3D printers.
