Hello shiny people. This is Ioanna from Athens. A dreamer, vegan since almost 3 years, language and animal lover. I love travelling, be around the nature, share my knowledge with others, help whenever I can and change myself while discovering the core of my being.

Please something important.
Couchsurfing is not a dating app nor a free hostel. When you send requests, try to choose the host for some reasons. I ll be glad to host you when I can but some messages I receive don't respect the CS community.
From now on requests that don't even mention my name and just ask for free accomodation will be immediately declined without any explanation.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

After many big changes in my life I decided to come back to Couchsurfing and meet people from around the world to share our life experience, talk in different languages, cook delicious food, and have some nice talks.

Interests

The last 3 years I am doing therapeutic yoga and meditation and is one of the best things I've done for my well being mentally, spiritually and physically.
I love music, cinema, talk about dogs, social and psychology topics, cooking, walking.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Donated my hair twice for children with cancer. One of the best things I've done in my life.

Adopted my dog Rallou almost 13 years ago.

Started psychotherapy, one of the biggest investments of my adult life.

Turned vegan after I realized there was no way back after what I saw.

Teach, Learn, Share

I could teach you how to cook some delicious vegan dishes, we could do some easy yoga class together and share with you what I have learned as a student and practice Spanish, English, Italian, Greek. Also I can sing in Turkish :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

Lately I live on my own with my dog and there is an empty room for my host so you will have your private room.
Currently I don't accept men solo travellers so please don't send me requests. If you do, it means you haven't read my profile.
You can use the kitchen to cook or prepare some coffee/tea or we can also cook together some vegan food! In my house there are only vegan products so I would kindly ask you to respect that and at least not bring any meat products.
Also, I would kindly ask you to take off your shoes when entering my flat, don't worry there are sleepers for all my hosts :)
