I love the sea and swimming. A nutritious breakfast, the smell of fresh snow or the seabreeze, good music, extreme and/or intensive sports, good wine, quiet corners in loud cities, discussions that activate my interest, good company have often made me happy.

I appreciate authenticity, honesty and pride in people.

I love any kind of travelling, which is possible not only by going to another place. I love listening to experiences of other 'story-tellers', learning things about their culture, and that's a good ground that urged me to create this account.

I am Greek and Austrian. I was born in Rhodes, so some elements of the girl from the Dodekanese island might forever stay. I finished school and my first degree in Greece, then moved to my second home town, Salzburg, where I am currently studying. Some study abroad semesters during the last 4 years brought me for longer periods to Innsbruck, Germersheim, Antwerp, Gent, Brussels and now in majestic Rome. I consider each of these as a journey and a home. I guess, there are a lot of homes for a person in this world.

PHILOSOPHY

To quote one of my favorite polemicists, "The mind is its own place and in itself, can make a Heaven of Hell, a Hell of Heaven".
So, I like to see my world as it is, sometimes maybe with adding more or less, always attempting to change something that doesn't work well for me and for those I care (not only when it comes to putting an end to the famine and saving the Panda bears).

I have changed a lot of homes and encountered a lot of wonderful people on my way.
I can recognize paterns in life yet I keep my eyes open for the slightly unusual in these paterns. I don't think this world will ever become boring.

p.m. Run while you can!

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

Connect with other humans.

Humanity is thirsty - we can all water it, not wait for the rain.

Curiosity for the hidden places of the world.

兴趣

I'd love to start this new habbit: my first encounter with a new town to happen while jogging. Would be happy to do this with company.

教，学，和分享

I think, I could teach you some Greek or German and I'm good with bicycles; I can share my impressions of biking across all of the coastline of Corfu.

I want to learn surfing (the real thing) and this is today an ongoing process. I am a beginner at climbing on real mountains.

I love the sound of contrabass.

I'm into baking bread.
