I am a masters student studying MA Child and Adolescent Psychology in Greece. I am adventurous and love nature and animals (I currently have five dogs). I’m looking for something safe and fun where I can be myself and meet new people. I love cooking, writing, acting, singing, gardening and swimming among other things. I am clean and respectful and easy to get along with. Can’t wait to see the world!

Solo travel experience

Crete was really beautiful. I went to Chania for 4 days and it was amazing. Went on some spectacular day trips to Balos beach and Elafonisi beach, along with some other gorgeous spots along the way and did a beautiful 4h hike in Samaria Gorge. The downtown area of Chania is absolutely amazing. During the day it's fun to get lost in the narrow, winding streets and at night it comes to life even more with their night markets. Bonus was watching the sunsets there - they were bright orange. Highly recommend a visit.
