About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Saving the world one eye at a time.

ABOUT ME

Grew up in between the Philippines and New York. A lover of life, coffee, travels, outdoor sports and so much more. My dad named me after the capital of Greece (the rest of my siblings are named after cities as well) and the goal is to visit there someday and say Athens went to Athens!

PHILOSOPHY

Cogito Ergo Athens.

Carpe Diem!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Before i "officially" joined CS i have been around couch surfers thanks to my Tito (Uncle) Czaldy. I would host them in my apartment in Davao or go around with them when my uncle cant. Everybody was nice and easy going and would always share about their travels. I was sort of an honarary member for a while but after a lot of encouragement or i should say pushing, (the last one was Hakkan) viola finally made an account. I haven't been active since moving to New York but I am hoping to couchsurf on my next travels.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

underwater clean up, self-retreat to a monastery, went over a bus high landslide in the middle of a storm while crossing my fingers for an available ride to the nearest town, drank snake wine., traveled Maui Solo, and I consider biking to work in Manhattan amazing as well.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am very open to teach and learn. From wearing your contact lens properly to navigating New York City bike lanes.

If you need travel tips to the Philippines, we can talk all night about it.
