About Me

CURRENT MISSION

improve my diet

ABOUT ME

I think that the most important in someone's character should be modesty and humbleness and have at least a little sense of humor. I was born in Germany after 2 years my family returned to Orestiada where i live now. I spent 4 years studying in Paidagogical in Thessaloniki and now after i finished my military obligation and a master in special education and children's psychology, I work in an elementary school in Rethymno. But more important i like having parties a lot, exploring Lands and living in fantasy. I enjoy camping, all kind of sports (especially tennis, windsurfing and volley) and i love travelling and listening to music. Also i watch with great happiness all kind of movies. And i want to read so many books but i think i would never find enough years to read them..

PHILOSOPHY

1.have you found joy in your life?
2.has your life brought joy to others?
i think it's something Egyptian...
This is just a quote that i liked.. generally my philosophy is some lyrics from a Greek artist... "Life is too short to be sad, ...... Life is too long to be like a carnival.."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

well, i think i can participate by many ways, i can host someone who is a tourist and help him meet the Lands around me. I also can host people who are working-travellers and provide them with hot food and warm shelter. But regerdless the reason why someone travels i want to hear her story and learn about his place..
And if i become a guest, i can find my way around any city and learn about it, but i can't understand it if not with the help of someone local..

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

When i hosted i cooked for my guests, maybe it was a burnt black thing that i called beans.. but there was food on the table (that's what matters), and with a lot of lemon nobady complains.. Seriously though my couch-surfing experience was super so far.

Interests

any sport (in non-professional level), any game whatever it is (as long as there is a possibility of winning)....music, movies, camping and traveling in whatever way i can. Lately i enjoy a lot of reading...
More specifically i like cult places like a basement-billιard-bar with cheap beer and unique cult-figure owner..
i don't like glamour things maybe i even dislike them...

Music, Movies, and Books

words cannot express how satisfactionary a video can be.. i can say that series like The Wire, are far better than any movie...so there are some series with great scenario and depth for every character and for comedy-series nothing is better than arrested develpoment..
As for movies i like Wes Anderson for comedies, Scorsese and Tarantino for action and generally most of the movies based on books have at least a decent scenario.
I can't be more specific.
It's the same with musik, i mean since i Watch movies and Listen to music i can't say one movie is better than other just like i can't say one kind of musik is better than other.. i listen to Rammstein, Muse and Radiohead but my favorite band is Beatles and i love playing classical music with my trompet and if i attend a wedding-feast all i want to do is dance to tradional-greek bagpipe.
I could write a book to express how much i love them...nothing more.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

i have seen a huge see-turtle in Thassos (greek island) but really it was huge, i was wind-surfing and the see-monster was swimming against me very fast and i felt like a pirate!!!! well it wasn't like that exactly but i want to remeamber it like that.. Also i found joy in my life.. I believe i am really happy and that is absolutely amazing.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm very interested about the educational system in diferent countries... Long live Paulo Freire..
Well i could talk about my country for years, i could narrate about ancient greece or argue about the modern crisis. Since i am a teacher i know-how to teach you anything in my knowledge...:)
