⚠️ Let's clarify some things first [I read this on another profile and found it necessary to add it to mine as well]:
● If you're a guy and I message you, I just wanna socialize, talk, have some fun, etc.
● Similarly, if you're a girl and I write to you, my intent is to meet and socialize in a public place.
There are some people who use couchsurfing as a dating application or host only one gender in hope of a romantic encounter. Well, I'm not.
Now, ladies and gentlemen, let's proceed to the actual profile.

Γεια σου!
I'm Anastasios (or just Tasos), a guy born, raised and living in Athens, Greece.

[cliché] I'd like to meet new people from all over the world, make new friends, exchange experiences, learn about foreign cultures! [/cliché] (I think this should be true for everyone that joins this platform.)

I like conversations and getting to know people; going for a coffee, a beer or a drink; walking by the sea or in a park. I'm a bit shy, though, so I don't fit easily in large groups of people. I don't really like wild partying and crazy nightlife. So if you find that boring, you'd better try elsewhere.

I participate in a local amateur theatrical team!

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Going to prison! *

Well, I've not done anything impressive, but here are some of my... achievements:
– Hosting 4 different couchsurfers at the same night!
– It's not anything special, but I've went from Athens to Antwerp by ferry and train (and then to Paris and London) using interrail! One day I'd like to take the Trans-Siberian railway.
– I once slept at a complete stranger's house (nothing to do with couchsurfing): it was a bit extreme for me then.

* Just kiddin'! I've been to a certain correctional facility many times, but never (yet!) behind bars. (I belong to a Christian volunteer group visiting young prisoners.)
