About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Be Happy!

ABOUT ME

Born in May and being a taurus I'm all the good and bad that comes with it! But seriously, I was born and raised in Athens. I went to the School of Fine Arts there and then worked for a couple of years. Now, I live and work as an art teacher.

My friends say I'm an easy-going, open-minded person, trustworthy, sincere, polite, stubborn, caring and interesting. I agree with them! I would add that I'm very glad to meet interesting people.

PHILOSOPHY

I try to take it easy and not worry too much.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I offer my couch for surfing, have already hosted a few people and looking forward to surf myself!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've only surfed once in London last summer, in the home of a wonderful couple, but I've hosted a bunch of people, all of them great guys! Looking forward to more experiences!!

Interests

I find interest in almost everything. I wouldn't get bored even if I had ten lives to live!
I'm an artist, so drawing, painting and creating in general, I play the guitar, I love movies, reading, music and certain tv series (30 Rock, House, Fringe, SVU, Six feet under, Black Adder).
I like cycling, playing basketball, greek traditional dances, pilates, mountain climbing. I love astronomy and have a small telescope. I'm fond of going out with friends and having long conversations about interesting topics and even arguing with them! I like meeting new people and different cultures.
And last, but not least I looove travelling!!!

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm a movie lover! I love seeing almost all kinds of movies, but I prefer european directors, classic films, film-noirs, sci-fi and generally quality movies.

I like greek alternative music (Thanassis Papakonstantinou rules!), jazz, rock & roll, rock, ethnic, classic music and more.

I like literature, both greek and foreign, especially russian lately, philosophy, political essays, sci-fi and, what can I say, I still read comic-books!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I can't decide now. I'll tell you later! :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I believe that someone can teach and be taught at any given moment. That's the interesting part!

I can teach you a few things about drawing, dancing, greek, of course, and a little russian.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Interesting conversations, cook a meal, buy you a drink.
