" A table is a table, wine is wine
in a wineglass, which is a wineglass
and it stands standing on a table
but I am a phantasm,
a phantasm beyond belief,
a phantasm to the core.

I tell him what he wants to hear

about ants dying of love
under a dandelion's constellation.
I swear that sprinkled with wine
a white rose will sing.

Eve from a rib, Venus from sea foam,
Minerva from the head of Jove
were much more real."

W. Szymborska

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To share the travellers' spirit, meet amazing people and listen to astonishing stories.

Coming to Brussels? Let me show you 'round!

Also, if you are a female traveller and you don't mind sharing an open space, I have a small couch to offer in my studio, so you can just check with me if I can host you on the dates you are coming to the "capital of Europe".

Interests

Greece & Greek (and everything around),
linguistics (language contact, first language acquisition, formulaicity),
dance (salsa, reggeaton and generally all sorts of Latino tunes),
volunteering and everything around it.
