About Me

I divide my time between Amsterdam and Athens, where I’m involved in cultural initiatives and help others bring creative ideas to life. I’m curious, open-minded, and enjoy sharing space with people from different walks of life. I enjoy good conversation, quiet moments, and discovering how others live, think, and feel.

I’m gay, have a relaxed lifestyle, and feel most comfortable in environments where people can just be themselves. At home, I like to keep things natural and informal. Nudity is part of that for me when the weather and vibe allow — but it’s not a rule or a requirement,

I’ve hosted a wide range of guests — from seasoned travellers to first-time couchsurfers. Some were familiar with more open ways of living, and others were simply curious. What matters to me is mutual respect and a shared interest in connection — everything else flows from there.

If you're simply looking for a crash pad, this may not be the best fit. But if you're someone who enjoys slow mornings, thoughtful conversation, or the occasional shared meal or moment of quiet — you’ll likely feel welcome.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I travel often and know how much a real human connection can transform a trip. Couchsurfing is a beautiful way to experience life from the inside out — through someone’s kitchen, their playlists, their stories.

I host because I enjoy the kind of presence that happens when people share a space. Whether that means cooking together, walking around town, having a glass of wine, or just being silent in the same room — I love how strangers can become something more than that.

Interests

Lately, I started to follow a tantric chakra healing course. Hope to be an initiated therapist in a few months.
