About Me

Hi! I'm trying couchsurfing for the first time, and am super excited to check out some new cities. So far in my life I've traveled to Canada, Egypt,Great Britain, Greece, Mexico, Turkey, the Cayman Islands, and the UAE. I'm born in Boston, but have lived in Washington, DC for the past 8 years. Fun fact: I've been performing traditional Greek fold dances for over 17 years now, so I'd love to hear your suggestions on fun local dance spots.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love traveling, especially when I get to meet and chat with locals. I'd also love to save money on hotel costs, so I can spend more trip funds on fun activities and eat new foods. If there's ever a food you think may be too weird to try, I'll definitely try it.

Interests

  • dancing
  • traveling
  • swimming
  • eating good food

Music, Movies, and Books

My most recent favorite book was Hillbilly Elegy, but my childhood favorite was the Count of Monte Cristo. My music taste is something along the lines of "jack of all trades, master of none." I can listen to pretty much anything and enjoy it. If you've got a good dance beat going, I'm sold.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've seen a sunset in Santorini, Greece and 5 days later seen a sunrise from a hot air balloon in Cappadocia, Turkey.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm a native Greek speaker, traditional Greek folk dancer, and am very outgoing while being respectful of space.

Countries I’ve Visited

Canada, Cayman Islands, Egypt, Greece, Mexico, Turkey, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom
