Hello! My name is Sofia and I am from a small town in the Northern part of Greece called Giannitsa. I am 21 years old and currently live and study in Thessaloniki.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To broaden the horizons. Look at the world from different perspectives to understand that beauty is all around you, in the small things that surround you. It is easier to see beyond the end of your nose when you travel. To discover and appreciate new cultures... Often we tend to think of our culture as the best ever (we are self-centered). We are rooted in dangerous stereotypes that close our minds to the truth. Travelling allows you to fully immerse in the world of the other, to understand the social dynamics, history, customs and traditions and often break down the myths. You also learn to live as a local.
