Well, I can't really say much about me! I'm just a guy that wants to see the world and understand the structures (if there are any) that hide behind the veils of reality. Ok, I'm kidding...
I believe that travelling is one of the few ways for us as human beings to transcend the limits or social reality. Growing old and understanding more about ourselves and the people around us should go hand in hand.
Couchsurfing (if you use it right) can be a good opportunity to go beyond our innate biases of being egocentric and ethnocentric!!!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Actually, I was thinking it would be a good idea to wander around Europe since the first day I arrived in Belgium. So far I haven't seen much of Europe and much of the world in general. So many things to see, so many countries to visit, so many people to meet...
Even though I was familiar with Couchsurfing since the time I was a student back in Greece, I never had one profile of my own. I hope this will truly be a chance to see as many places as possible and a means of communication with different people and cultures from around the world. See you around then!!!
