Hi there,
I am Eleni. I am originally from Greece but have made Scotland my home for the past 10 years. I love travelling, taking photographs, cooking, reading, listening to music, gardening, home decorating, taking long walks, being in nature, watching movies, meeting new people and having adventures.
I have recently started learning Italian and long to visit Italy and experience its culture and people. I am hoping to travel there in August & September 2019 and I am looking forward to staying with hosts all over the country.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'd love to travel and meet new people! I love hearing people's unique stories and learning about their culture. By staying with locals when I am travelling I am hoping to enhance my experience by finding out about secrets parts of the city, practicing the language and steep myself in the culture!

Music, Movies, and Books

Anything with heart in it! I love exposing myself to all things and expanding myself so I try to listen, read and watch all sorts of different things.

Books (writers)
Clarice Lispector, Malcolm Lowry, Jack Kerouac, Jane Bowles, Edna O'Brien, Sylvia Plath, Andrè Gide, David Keenan, D.H. Lawrence

Cinema
I have a soft spot for Italian 60-70s giallo horror movies but again love many different films, but here's a selection of some favourite directors: Tarkovsky, Kubrick, Bava, Franco, Rollin, Pasolini, Rohmer, Bergman, Zulawski.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd love to learn to speak some Italian and how to cook typical Italian cuisine dishes. I am also interested in culture, history and art and I am hoping my hosts could share some of their knowledge on these with me.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share my love for Greek cuisine and teach you Greek if you're interested!
