About Me

I am above all things a tireless traveler. I love going abroad and learning about other cultures.

I'm mostly calm and quiet, sometimes even a bit shy, but talk to me and I'll be as open as it can be.

I'm currently living in the UK, where I'm doing my PhD in ancient Greek linguistics (exotic, huh?).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love travelling. My parents took me travelling since I was a kid and I always loved it.

For me, Couchsurfing takes travelling to a whole new level. Staying with locals and learning from them makes your experience unique and can make you understand better the place where you are and its people. But most importantly, it shows you how generous and good people can be and teaches you to be more grateful. Getting to know people from all around the globe breaks stereotypes and makes you see the world from different perspectives.

Interests

Learning languages, listening to music or just a nice walk. I love art and archaeology museums, but I even enjoy more just looking at wonderful landscapes.

Whenever I travel I always take my camera with me to take pictures of EVERYTHING! I'm not a good photographer, but I just want to save as many memories as I can.

I also practice Yoga and meditation and recently got my teacher certification (yay!).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Discover couchsurfing! And use it to travel and also to host when I could.

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to learn at least a few sentences or words in your language. If you would teach me to cook some traditional dish I would be more than happy! I would also like to know customs or characteristic things about your culture.

I love learning new things, but above all I love teaching. Ask me anything that I might know and I'll be very happy to answer (or try to answer). I also have my Yoga Teacher certification, so we can have a Yoga session together.

Also, if you would like to learn some Spanish or anything about Spain, just ask :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

We can always share stories, fun facts or just whatever we know. I love sharing Spanish culture with others: music, films, food, places... Just whatever you like.

I can also offer a Yoga/meditation session or to cook a nice Spanish omelette! (suitable for vegetarians, but not vegans, sorry :s ).

Countries I’ve Lived In

Cyprus, Netherlands, United Kingdom
