About Me

Thanks to CouchSurfing I’ve met some super cool people and great friends! That’s why I’m on here.

New in Barcelona.

I’m open minded and love learning languages! Greek and Spanish are currently my main focus. Apart from that I enjoy photography, making jewellery (it’s also my work), thinking about life and the universe, and I think deep conversations with the right people are priceless.

MISSION: free dive and touch a shark without dying.

HOSTING: Yes, I’m now hosting in Barcelona and I receive a lot of requests. Firstly, if I accept you it’s because you read my profile and hosting section and send a personalised message. If the message is generic I don’t want to make an effort either.
If I have free time (my calendar is generally accurate) then I’ll be happy to host you for a maximum of 2 nights. I live with others and don’t want to constantly have guests.
I also would like to spend time with my visitors. Whether going to an event, cooking together or doing some activity (climbing, swimming, cinema, exhibition, photography, hiking, a walk etc.). On weekends I generally go out with friends/dancing so if you request to stay during a weekend… I’m more likely to accept your request if you join us. You can’t stay in my apartment alone.

If you’re only looking for accommodation or to save money and don’t want/have time to spend with me then probably you should book a hostel or hotel.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
