Description
-------------------------------
Meet a nice single Greek guy..in exchange for company, culture,street-music-busking and Ancient-Greek cosplay-photo-busking in Athens, GREECE...........
-----------------------------------------
OCCUPATION:I work for the Hellenic(Greek) Air Force. I am a drummer/soldier( master-sergeant in rank) that performs with the Air Force Marching Band...and also has military duties,when needed. My job is a little bit complicated...sometimes it's fun,sometimes it's boring.
.............................
Just a nice Greek guy....I think....
: )
I grew up in a small town just 2 hours away from Athens.I moved to Athens a couple of years ago,cause I found a job here.....
For one year I was living with a Greek Colombian guy
that I met during my 16month mandatory service in the Greek Army.He was the funniest roommate ever.
Yes...funny guy and a good friend...: )
In my 2nd year in Athens,I bought the apartment we lived in..and my roommate left cause he got engaged...
After that I didn't have any more roommates....
I think I prefer living alone...
(Hosting people is different...I prefer hosting......)
I enjoy living my bachelor life at the moment....and I like my place.
I always try to make it feel more comfortable to me..
I'm... generally speaking...a quiet person.
Rather shy when in a company of many people.
Even with people I know...
I'm more talkative and active in small groups....
I like keeping things tidy and clean at my place..
I like order.....I hate complete chaos.........
Maybe it's because of my army service...I don't know...

So...It turned out pretty handy for accommodation.
