About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Does it matter?...

ABOUT ME

Ehm, I don't know how I can make this interesting, but I'll try. I love to travel but you've been hearing about Greece in the past two years?... And I'm very interested in meeting with other people. In the extreme case I'm asking you to host me, consider yourself lucky! I enjoy talks, as well as silences. Food, movies, books. I 'd love to show you around and offer tips on where to taste greek cuisine and sweets!

PHILOSOPHY

Try to treat others the way you'd like to be treated. Yeap, it's not easy sometimes. But I try!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Hosting, showing the city, suggesting great places to eat and drink.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I was hosted by my friends many times. Now, that I have my own house it's nice to feel like giving back a bit of the great hospitality I experienced! I started with HC in August 2006 and so far I'm very glad I did it.

Interests

Music, Films (there is a Film Festival and a Documentary Festival in Thessaloniki), Travels, Books, Food and wine of course! Sharing a good conversation, a bottle of wine and a laugh...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Recognizing an American CS couple in the railstation just by the few e-mails we exchanged! That sometimes I look and not just see. That sometimes I listen and not just hear.

Teach, Learn, Share

Right now I'm interested in cooking.
