About Me

Hello! I’m a student living in Montreal and studying Anthropology, Psychology and Philosophy at McGill. I grew up in Toronto but, I come from a family of Greek immigrants and have spent every other summer in Greece since I was born so, I feel very at home there as well. I love music, movies, books and art (so original I know). My favourite thing in the world is sitting and chatting with loved ones/new friends at a kitchen table with a cup of tea/good meal. I also think I’m a pretty good cook, I mostly make veggie and vegan stuff but I’ll eat anything. I feel like my love for nature and cities is a 50/50 split, both settings make me extremely happy. Wherever I am, you can probably find me walking/biking around, going to art galleries, seeing live music, chilling in parks, hiking, and taking some pics and vids for the good ol’ memories. Oo also I’m an Aries/Pisces cusp, an ENFP and a Hufflepuff lol.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Human beings are pretty spectacular and I think couchsurfing is such a special to get to know new people and show a bit of altruism.

•Movies: Linklater (!!), Jim Jarmusch, Paul Thomas Anderson, Kubrick, Coen brothers, also the “weird wave” of Greek cinema (Tsangari and Lanthimos) is great

•Books: I really love magical realism (Borges and Murakami) and sci-fi (Asimov and Huxley), although currently, because of uni, most of my time is spent reading for class which is cool though because it’s exposed me to a lot of great phil theorists (Audre Lorde, bell hooks, Camus, Schopenhauer, Spinoza, Foucault), Lovecraft and Vonnegut are cool too
