  Description

  Hey, I'm Spyros and I live in Corfu an island in western Greece.
  
  Currently stuck in Corfu, I'm hoping to find easy going people that can teach me the following:
  
  
  Foreign Languages are my hobby (half my degree was in the linguistic department), and I enjoy all aspects of language learning. Ideally I'm looking for a tutor in Russian, Ukrainian, Belarusian, Japanese Finnish, Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, Icelandic.
  
  
  Kendo, I practiced that for a while when I was at uni and loved it but since I moved to Corfu I haven't done anything as there are no kendokas here, hoping to find someone to teach me the nessecary skills to pass 1st dan.
  
  
  Last but not least, I'm looking for someone that could teach me how to play the violin. Bought one , plus a teach yourself guide , but it doesn't seem to work:))
  
  
  I've practiced tai chi in the past and I have an interest in reiki, yoga and qigong so I'd like to meet people who can help me with these. The above stands of all forms of fitness training and martial arts so if you have a skill to teach I'd be very happy to hear from you.
  
  In return I offer accommodation, (private room) , share homemade organic meals and also Greek or English language practice (studied at a UK Uni).
  
  I work as a jeweller/antiques restorer, and I do quite a lot of work with gemstones so if you have an interest or ability in this field, I could share my knowledge with you.
  
  I have been a member of Couchsurfing for over a decade.
  
  Thanks for reading and I wish you all the best with your travels!
