Description

Hello everyone! My name is Iris and I am a 23 y/o woman from Greece. I am a certified teacher of English, so I would love to offer help by teaching English (or even Greek) to other people, especially children or people with limited educational oppurtunities. I view travelling, especially in nature, as a way to collect growing experiences and knowledge and as a way to open my ''third eye'' by adopting awakening perspectives which connect me with Mother Nature and Universe. I am big fan of free camping (at beach or forest) and I love hikings, gardening, spending time with animals (I have 7 dogs in my village) , swimming, enjoying sun, generally, participating in adventurous activities. Besides that, I am a very artistic person; I dance flamenco, afrobrasilian,latin and greek folklore dances, I write poems , I play theatre (mainly focused on the Theatre of the Oppressed) and I experiment with music production. In this period of my life I also read a lot about energy healing, chakras and theosophy. Generally, I view life as a beatiful journey full of knowledge which offers us so many lessons and experiences that strengthen our souls, help us handle difficult situations and live freely... Life is miraculous..

What else ...

I think I have covered everything hahah, generally I am very curious person who loves exploring new staff, new music, food, cultures, dances.. I really love reading anthropological or ethnographic studies and I have attended classes about the literature and culture of Native Americans. For this reason , I would be love to be hosted in communities of indigenous people, because I see it as a chance to explore new lenses of human nature and cosmology.
