About Me

Thessaloniki is the city I was born, raised-in and completed my studies.
I can shortly describe me as:
Deeply passionate for everything i am doing, sensitive, creative, highly motivated, and hard-working.
I love being active and always have things and personal projects to work on
[not necessarily concerning my work]. Never being idle...
I am an open book to whoever is intrested to getting know me.
Love to discuss and share my interests and the way i understand life.
I believe in karma, the power of the universe, the Law of Attraction and positive thinking and i am always keen on meeting people who are also attracted by that.
Currently working on finding my inner self, mastering my feelings and my thoughts, living in the present and being a better me.

THINGs I LOVE_

Love Black & white in any sense.
Love early mornings.
Love the melancholy of cloudy days.
Love exploring the city in the wee hours of the morning when everything moves a little slower and everyone has a different story and path.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

All started with my Erasmus experience back in 2012 when i realised how fulfilling is for me travelling, meeting people, sharing experiences and make friends around the world.
A statement that explains fully the reason i am on couchsurfing_
"Once you have travelled for the first time all you want to do is to leave again.
It's the effort to return to a place where you are surrounded by people who speak the same Language as you. Not English or Spanish or whatever.. but that language where others know what it's like to LEAVE, CHANGE, GROW, EXPERIENCE, LEARN, then go back home and feel more lost than you did in the most foreign place you visited "

Interests

Architecture is one of my passions but I care the most about the feelings and experiences that it can generate. For me, architecture has always been about people, how they use, feel and experiences it.
Ballet is my other passion that led me to develop self-discipline, perseverance, persistence and the need to, always, push myself beyond my limits.
Then there are many more things that move me and i am intrested in and always open to learn new things

An amazing experience through different cities and nature.

What I Can Share with Hosts
