About Me

Hello! I am an island wanderer! I am from Cyprus originally, and after a few years wandering around, from London to Zurich and then to Barcelona, I ended up in Mallorca, where I have been living for the past two years.
I am a physicist by training, but my true passion is sociology, so now I work in a field called sociophysics! My other big passion is dancing, mostly lindy hop, but also salsa :) Apart from that I love discussing about politics, but in a general sense, not about a specific party, more like the philosophy of politics. So if you don't find me dancing, then I will most probably be in a bar talking about sociophysics and how to go beyond capitalism over a beer :)
If I am not doing either of the two, then I will definitely be watching a movie that was probably premiered in the cinema about when your parents were born :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Cause real surfing is too difficult for me...
