About Me

Hi everyone,

I am a lawyer in Athens, Greece, with an aspiration to some day see the world!

I am an army brat and have lived in many places in my life, including Belgium and Germany. I am open and accessible (well at least I try to be) and love to meet new people and hearing about different experiences around the world.

I have graduated from an American High School in Mons, Belgium and have lived for a semester in Cologne Germany.

I used to be a swimmer for many years, but life moves on.... Now I am a mean cook, if I do say so myself!! :D

I believe that everyone has their own perspective about the simplest of things in life and I would love to learn to see matters from different points of view, therefore I talk a lot (!!!) and never judge.

Will be more that glad to meet as many of you as possible!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am here to see the world, and what better way to do that than by meeting the locals and hosting them!

Let's see what the world has to offer and open our minds to new ways of thinking!

Interests

  • culture
  • theater
  • traveling
  • languages
  • cinema

Music, Movies, and Books

I love all different kinds of music, as long as I get a chill by the song! Many times I put the shuffle on youtube and it starts with a light pop song, goes to jazz and ends with Rammstein :D!

As for movies, I love the sci-fi ones, but also the 50s - 60s and modern Italian, Spanish, French and American movies, they all have such a unique technique to them. I also watch many anime series for many years and love them!

As for books, I read A LOT mostly for my job... News flash guys, the law is not very exciting... Interesting, but not exciting!!! I also love the classics... Russian authors, French and the occasional Hemingway... But who can pass up on a scandalous read from Bukowski either? Also, read the occasional manga.

So as you can get from all the above, let it be interesting, fall in my radar and I will hear, watch or read it basically...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hmmm, I love my travels! I've been to many countries: Italy, Switzerland, Germany, France, Netherlands, Belgium, UK, US, United Arab Emirates...... I thing that is pretty good....

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach people Greek and English. I can also teach them swimming and cooking .

I am more than willing to explore times and again ancient Greece with my fellow couchsurfers and let them in on all the secrets of the Greek cuisine.

I would like to learn more about the cultures of all the individuals I host, see the world through their eyes and I would be glad if they introduced me to their culture and language.

I am glad to share any knowledge I might have about anything and of course my free time!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am extra neat and can only function in a clean environment! In all the destinations I would like to see the tourist attractions, which I can definitely do on my own, but I would truly appreciate if you could give me some pointers and advice on how to see things best and how to keep safe.

I am a very discreet person and if the host is busy they will not even notice I am there. If it is more convenient I can even follow the host's schedule, time-wise so they will feel more at ease.

I want to see the world, and I have come to realize that the locals are the top way to make the most of your visit and certainly one of the best ways to keep safe in a country.

I will be solo travelling, so the hosts will have to put up only with me!

Countries I’ve Visited

Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Switzerland, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom, United States
