About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Build by myself a wooden house in my hometown

ABOUT ME

These last years I love the time I spent at my hometown Konitsa but also to the villages around relaxing and enjoying the beautiful countryside. I actually spent a lot of time in the nature since sometimes I work as a hiking guide and also I do a lot of mushroom foraging...I like hiking, climbing, camping in the wild. I like to explore every place I go. I love nature, so trips in woods,lakes, mountains or at small, quite and traditional villages are some of my favorite things. I like ride my bicycle anytime. Daydreaming (more about excursions, journeys and traveling plans) is one of my hobbies... And of course I like sharing all these with some great company.

PHILOSOPHY

At a small village in France I was sitting on a bridge and bellow me there was a feast that the locals had. I was watching them dancing, hugging, talking and smiling among them and I felt so strongly that at that moment their relationships was so simple and honest without having to pretend or having bad feelings for each other. I was knowing right then that that's how I want to spend my life. "Freedom and simple beauty is too good to pass up"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Host and surf whenever I find the opportunity so that meet people and have fun with them... Also I try to spread the idea to other friends

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

everytime I do hiking and sleeping on mountains or remote beaches, away from any civilization.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach a lot about mushrooms if we go in the forest, also quite a lot about the nature like name of trees and plants and how some things work in nature, some geology stuff about my area and also some history things too, maybe some photography tips and in general any scattering knowledge that may have in some areas ... I want to learn anything you can teach me especially something about a musical instrument or how to create any handmade small nice thing or some cooking recipes.
