Overview
About Me
I am a PhD student who combines psychology, economics, and complexity science to understand social behaviour, but does not.
After all, I want to be a theatre director. This is my dream job, however, I still feel I like to finish my thesis before turning to the theatre.
I am into interdisciplinarity, alternative education, open-science, open-source, social entrepreneurship, and freelancing. Though, I just practice the first one.
If you give me the opportunity to live and die in Greece, you'll be my God.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
To find new firends and experience new things.
Interests
Actually I like my field of studies, and probably that's why I am pursuing a PhD in it. So, I like simulations, and I see it possible that all of us are in a simulation.
Anything cognitive is interesting to me, and decision-making is the most interesting one.
However, all these things are the second best. The first one is theatre!
If you do anything with theatre, please get in touch with me, and help me to change my career.
By the way, I used to go off-road and I think that is incredible. It feels great to drive in a dessert.
Oh, before I forget, I love Greece! Anything Greek!

Jerzy Grotowsky's poor theatre is great.
Zorba the Greek, The Death of Ivan Ilyich.
Music:
Fairuz, Chill out and ambient, Chopin, Albinoni's Adagio, Existence Life (Nazeri), Bomrani.
Cinema:
Tornatore and Haneke.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I was drunk and some homeless guys approached me to get some money and I hadn't. Then, I kind of explained them that I am sad and drunk, without enough money and lost in the city (reality). They invited me to have a beer. I was totally waisted, we were talking to each other without any common language. They were super kind to me.
Teach, Learn, Share
Probably I can teach you something about economics, psychology of decision making, and complexity science. It would be more a talk than teaching.
What I Can Share with Hosts
Telling them my stories. Share some poetry with them.
