About Me

After living in Barcelona, I believe that life takes you to places you expect the less and that you do the things you never imagined.
Coming from Greece I lived since my childhood until my university years in a small city (well it's the third biggest in Greece!). Then life took me to Germany for a while and then all by chance I found myself in Barcelona studying a PhD. Then I lived in a small and cute Italian city, where I spend some time studying, too. Now back in Barcelona !
Emotional by nature I am open to everyone and I enjoy listening to stories, what makes people passionate and what makes them dream.
I could be everything in the world, except one thing: judgemental. It takes a lot of understanding, acceptance and love not to be judgemental. First with yourself and then with the others.
I enjoy traveling and meeting people of all the places around the world. I like sharing experience and making friends wherever I travel.
I am not into touristy stuff, I don't like museums :P. I prefer quality time with locals and other travelers, I think it's the best memory you can have of a place :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Done a roadtrip alone through the Balkans; I had my best vacation, a complete experience, I saw beautiful places and met great people !

Teach, Learn, Share

Foreign languages is one of my passions, I really enjoy the fact that some things make sense only in a certain language and reveal more about the society and the history.
Sharing info and hints about my city is my favorite, going out have a drink, cooking something at home, as well.
If I'm not insanely tired after work, I can join in everything. Otherwise I fall asleep at 11pm :P
I'm also into outdoor sports, hiking, climbing are my favorite ones !
