About Me

I'm a free spirit who loves to travel, the sea, and discovering new perspectives by meeting people and experiencing different cultures.
I live 400 meters from the sea in Loutraki, Corinth, and some days i live in Athens, Greece.
As a host, I try to share the authentic side of Greece, all those things we have within us as people who honor the goddess of hospitality, Hestia. My places are clean, safe. I believe in chemistry between people, in respect.
As a traveler, I want to live and love a place the way locals do.
I want to spend time with my host, to do silly or meaningful things, to connect with the place and the people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am here to connect with people from all over the world. To help in their travels and take hospitality in mine.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Each year, I volunteer to provide education to incarcerated people in prisons across Greece and to abused women. I strive to empower them with self-belief, foster their development, and equip them with skills for a smooth societal reintegration.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach the art of living every moment with a smile and finding beauty in simple things.
I can learn from every person I meet, cause everyone has a unique story to tell.
I can share almost everything.

What I Can Share with Hosts

For me, it's very important that my guests feel comfortable, so I offer them a clean and safe space. I can also cook something simple for them if they want. If I have time, I would really enjoy joining them on their explorations, taking them to beautiful places, and going for walks during the day or at night. And if the weather permits, a day boat trip is always a nice idea.
