About Me

CURRENT MISSION

every day is important-don't waste it!

ABOUT ME

small in size, not bubbly, smiling a lot and laughing loudly among friends. I am easy going and have a positive attitude towards life. I get angry when people don't show respect to each other. I am grumpy when tired or/and hungry.

PHILOSOPHY

Respect in any form.
Good sense of humour in any language
Always appreciating that what you know is not enough.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I think I was a couch surfer before this project existed(or at least i was not aware of it). Have stayed in people's couches all over the world and I have returned the hospitality to a few of them. Also, my old house in Bristol was registered as a couch surfing house and we hosted quite a few people there as well. I traveled with a friend in South America and did couch surfing a lot. I am now back in Greece but at the minute things are very unstable and I am not ready to offer a couch just yet- probably it will happen in the near future.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Really, really good! the whole concept is amazing and it's working so magnificantly well-that is just another sound proof that you don't need (a lot of) money to travel or meet new people. I had good and bad experiences of course. But overall, I believe in it, people should be couch surfing all the way!!!!!!!!!!!!

Interests

Cycling, watching films, dancing, travelling, meeting new people, learning more and more about the world as a whole. As I get older, I need to be closer to nature as much as possible. I escape to the beach...

Music, Movies, and Books

lots and lots of movies.I can't really say I have a favourite but I love films that are meaningful, clever, relatively sort and they leave you with a sense of hope.
always loving to go to a good concert. I appreciate british music, even the not so popular one. Reggae, dub, hip-hop, rempetika.
Books: Zorbas the Greek. Kazatzakis manages to talk about all the important things in life, and he does that all in one book.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The sea of the greek islands
machu pichu
the jungle
the desert

Teach, Learn, Share

I don't like teaching very much in the sense of telling people what to do. I can share many things with you (travelling tips, food recipes, bike rides, dancing places
