Ciao / Bonjour / Geia sas / Hola / Hello / 안녕하세요:)

Thanks for your interest and reading my profile ;) I hope to host and meet you soon !
If you are Greek or Turkish living in Milan let me know I would love to do language exchange !

CURRENT MISSION

To welcome CS people around the world in my beautiful Milan, center and synthesis of Italy. Make them feel welcomed. I can speak French English Spanish Italian a bit of Korean and currently learning Greek.
Italy Greece and Turkey are the most beautiful places on earth for me.

About me I want to keep discovering and loving Italy and buy a house here, I am also doing Italian citizenship process.
Then I would like to travel and find the next step in my life.
Having a house in Greece and live in Turkey would be my dream, a house on a Mediterranean Island with orange trees, cypresses and bougainvillea.

ABOUT ME

Young french guy with greek background, Scorpio sign.
I love travelling and living new experiences to enrich my stay abroad :)
After 2 years in South Korea, it has been many years I have been living in Italy.
In love with Mediterranea and passionate about East Asia.

PHILOSOPHY

' Travelling does not consist in only going to new landscapes but to learn to see them through brand new eyes ' ~ Marcel Proust
Like everyone, I want to travel our big small world at the maximum, and at the same time to come back to the places where I left a part of my heart as much as I can ;)

Today we spend too much time watching at our phones, the stressful news, we claim to be open-minded but people get scared and closed more and more so… I want to find my own cloud where I can find peace :) Life is short but you can make it longer and beautiful. CS is a meaningful experience for that.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Laying at the surface of the Lybian sea in Crete in 2013 when I lived there, facing the milky way, seeing shooting stars, feeling free :)
A 3-days trip alone with a guide in the Royal Cordillera mountains above La Paz, Bolivia. Reaching up to 5000m and the limits of my body, discovering nature as it wildest and the sky that has never been so blue and deep.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach about French or Italian, cosmetics (it’s my job), agriculture (what i studied), Italian art, harp.

I am currently learning Greek and then I want to do Turkish. Also about drawing better, classical dance and esoterism (tarot reading, white magic… occultism is so interesting!)

The best I can share would be a midnight philosophy moment with a glass of wine and a cigarette to share with my couchsurfer ! :)
