About Me

ABOUT ME

Unfortunately I can't accept guests in were I live, but I am willing to meet up!

Mmm i don't know..Maybe an active positive person who is interested in doing and learning many things.
I am an Msc student in Environmental Chemistry and Environmental Pollution Control but i am interested in learning other things too.I am a musician.I can play the piano and the guitar singing with my friends. I like to participate in choirs too.

I love riding my bicycle and moving through the city in an independent and free way that the bike offers to me. (unfortunately Thessaloniki lacks of cycle paths :/ )

I love dancing..I love to dance swing lindy hop dance till dropping. I also like dancing salsa and all the afro and latin dances. For me dancing is something like oxygen.

The nature is something really special for me..I feel so peaceful when i am in the mountains or nearby the sea, and I am dissapointed when people don't respect nature.

I admire people who are open-minded, concerned of human rights and who are trying to fight inequality in the world.

I also love travelling, but unfortunately i don't have enough money :/

PHILOSOPHY

Be creative and open to new things ..Fall in love with the sun.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I always wanted to travel a lot. However I can't afford to pay for my stay the most of the cases. Secondly, it is better to meet locals and spend time with them. You get a better taste of the city you are visited in, avoiding maybe the super crowding tourist areas which sometime lack of interest. I also love meeting new people ,discussing and listening to their perspectives about life etc.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have used couchsurfing for several times till now, and I had lovely experience since I met interesting people. I stayed in Paris, Salzburg and Xanti by using Couchsurfing and I also hang out with other travelers in Thessaloniki.
I wish I would be able to host somebody, but as I live with my parents this is impossible. :( However I am always open to hang out, provided that I have enough free time.

Music, Movies, and Books

Almost all the kind of music. From classical to metal music..I am really open to listening to new types of music or music from different countries and cultures.
Usually I go through periods when I am addicted in one type of music. Two years ago I was addicted in swing and rock k roll music but this summer i "fell in love" with celtic and new age melodies.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

It's not that I did an amazing thing but the way I managed to deal with a difficult situation.
In brief, my adventure begins when I found out that my flight from Istanbul to Thessaloniki was cancelled due to bad weather conditions. I was travelling from Ljubljana to Thessaloniki to make a surprise to my family for the New Years Eve. I was all alone in a huge International Airport where everything and everyone were stuck because of snowing. The airport was in chaos and my flight was cancelled for 3 times. So I celebrated the New Years Eve in the airport and I spent 2 nights in it(The hotels are overbooked and super expensive). So I made the decision to leave the airport and find another way to travel back to my city. Yet, after 2 days finally I arrived in Thessaloniki by bus, safe and sound. It was a really unforgettable trip and though I had really hard time (I could spend all my time describing the whole situation) it was a funny and adventurous one after all.
