About Me

I'm a very friendly person and I love to laugh and hang out with people!!! I enjoy making new friends and experiencing different cultures.
My background is Greek but I was born in Melbourne. My family has always played music so I grew up playing drums and am now learning some guitar as well. I'm a creative person and have studied Communications, so I like making posters, videos, and anything else to do with graphic design.
My Grandmother taught me how to cook, and it's one of my favourite things to do.
I am a very very friendly, fun person. I love making people laugh and sharing cultures.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Camping overnight on The Great Wall of China with friends. We slept in the old ruins of a watchtower and set up a little fire. We then got stuck up there in one of the biggest thunderstorms I've ever witnessed. When the rain had passed, we went outside and sat out there for an hour watching thousands of lightning strikes.
