Overview
About Me
Sparkly, warm and playful.
A fine and textile artist in love with life, laughter and human connection.
Curious, sophisticated and emotionally awake. I enjoy deep conversations as much as silence, stillness and shared presence.
Food, music and art nourish my days. Through textiles and clothing, I accompany people in reconnecting with their bodies, their sensitivity and their inner landscapes.
Here to to meet people from the world and let cultures, stories and energies intertwine.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I’m here because I deeply value exchange — of stories, skills, time and presence. I’m drawn to sustainable ways of living, open-hearted conversations, shared meals, creative collaborations and slow, meaningful encounters.
I’m genuinely moved by loving, conscious souls and enjoy meeting them in different corners of the world.

Music, Movies, and Books
Music is my heart and soul — my motor.
I’m deeply in love with soul, jazz, bossa nova, Italo disco, hip hop, R&B, funk, tango and classical music. I sang for 15 years, so music lives in my body, not just in my ears :-)
I’m drawn to Greek directors and independent cinema, but I also enjoy romantic comedies and black-and-white silent films. My visual culture is wide and eclectic. When it comes to books, Clarice Lispector has my heart.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Living in four big cities.
Almost a decade of therapy.
Learning to live the dream of not living the dream.
Teach, Learn, Share
I’ve been teaching for almost 8 years and creating my own courses on sustainability, while always learning from people, cultures and everyday practices. My work moves through slow fashion, embroidery and mending as intimate, political acts of care.
Recently, I’ve returned to photography as another way of observing, learning and connecting.
What I Can Share with Hosts
An embodied approach to sustainable fashion.
Warm, intuitive cooking.
Presence, curiosity and a spark that invites movement.
Stories of travel, deep listening and the pleasure of dancing together.
