My name is Aristides, and I consider myself a citizen of the world!!In every country I have been I found my home and something special!! I was a model for 5 years of my life and traveled a lot during that period!!I was also a Brad Pitt lookalike for a period of time in the United States!!After I finished my cycle in the modelling industry I came back in Athens, got a house and started a psychology university in Timișoara of Romania (the town I was born)!!I also did many acting gigs like in the Peter Noel movie 129 and the theater peaces Delete, Pursuit Of Happiness and Swan Lake in Athens!!I love fitness and I am currently working as an actor,a model and I'm a shareholder for a Web service company!!I love reading books, watching movies, tv series and of course travelling all around the world!!I also enjoy dancing and talking about philosophical matters!!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on Couchsurfing cause coming in touch with new cultures is one of my main goals in life and meeting new people makes me feel alive and happy!!Also a big part is that since I settled down in Athens I stopped travelling so much and Couchsurfing gives me the chance to maintain the citizen of the world feeling, and the adventurous spirit of my former nomad model travelling life!!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Most amazing thing I have done is going to an Ashram temple in India and learning things about the human nature that made me feel a new born man and more alive and enlightened than I have ever been!! I also pushed myself to the limit by doing a ritual that made me test my human spirit to a new level!!

Teach, Learn, Share

My philosophy is that nothing matters most in life than the human energy...all the material stuff are useless if communication and exchange of thinking between humans does not happen in a real and productive way!!Our energy can move, change and reshape the world!!
