I am Chrysa and I live in Athens, Greece. I graduated from the Faculty of Philology of the University of Athens two years ago and I've been working as a teacher since then. As a student I joined my University's drama club for a year and we did our own production of a play based on the book "the Martian Chronicles" by Ray Bradbury. It was such an inspiring experience that I've tried to have theatre in my life ever since. I am currently part of another drama club and I go to the theatre as often as I can. I enjoy learning languages, so as to be able to communicate with people and to read my favourite poets and authors in their original language, which brings us to the other big love of my life, books! In 2015 I spent a semester in Wroclaw, Poland as an Erasmus student which was how I found out my passion for travelling. It's a very big part of my life and I'm always looking forward to new adventures.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

When I was on Erasmus, I travelled from Poland to Stockholm, where I was hosted by an amazing couchsurfer. It was an unforgettable experience, one that made me realise that hanging out with locals is an irreplaceable part of the travelling experience. That' s why I love couchsurfing and I can't wait for the next chance to do it again.
