Odysseas believes that Initiative, Creativity and Ambition are the keys to success. As one needs to contest any opportunity that arises, solve any problem that he faces and aim to become the best in his field. His first venture was the expansion of Mindspace to the town of Patras. In 1,5 years Mindspace @Patras managed to partner with the University and is currently setting up the first student innovation hub in Greece. He is committed into changing the
Greek University from within and contributing to the entrepreneurial and student ecosystem of Greece. Besides Mindspace, he is developing a smart-home system, he is studying French and currently doing research, as part of his thesis, in the area of blockchain technology, coupled with the IoT and data monetization.
TL;DR Odysseas Thinks Tech, Speaks Business.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I used to be very picky about personal space and lodging. I want to change that, meet as many people as possible and learn all about local culture.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love Deep house, Jazz and (electro) swing. I enjoy old school rock and rock 'n Roooooll.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I just crowdfunded 10K euro in order to attend MIT Bootcamp on Innovation & Entrepreneurship in Rio de Janeiro.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love teaching all about technology and programming. I particularly like to explain complex technological subjects in simple language to non tech people.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I will definetaly share whatever I know on whatever subject. I will also tell them everything they want to learn about Greece and be a greek student.

Also I might do some greek cooking.

Finally, I always carry ouzo with me :P

On a serious note, I hate free-riders. I will pay for whatever expenses I make (like food) and I will participate in the cleaning of the space. I am fairly organised and I promise to leave the space as clean as it gets. I want others to respect my house, thus when I visit I respect the space and the owner.
