About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Collecting experiences

ABOUT ME

After finishing school, I realised that the world is so big, and we are so small in it... Since then, I try to be one little person travelling to this big world, meeting people, collecting images, moments to remember, and making friends for a life. I can say that I am still in the beginning of this task, but I do my best to continue and keep it going.

I am borned in Greece, in the island of Creta, some people I have met can't believe that I was raised in this paradise..maybe they know better. Later, I studied in Athens for four years to be a teacher, having second thoughts all the time if I had made the right choice. Afterwards, I realised sometimes you can get a second chance in your life to find this something that will define you as a person. Since then I am looking for my second chance.
During my studies, I had an amazing Erasmus in Belgium, from which I came back in June, have seen a lot of new places, met great people and work hard. Now I miss living abroad and travelling all around Europe, take the decision 2 days before and just do it, a thing that was so easy in Belgium, in the centre of Europe, but now it's harder to do when I am in Greece, as I always need a plane and a good arrangement to travel, so I'm trying my best to move back abroad.

Recently, I also discovered my passion about languages. And it's not actually a passion for the languages themselves, but for the communication. I would love to learn as much languages as I can to get the chance to communicate easily with people from all over the world. And I love English and think everyone should speak them, because they work like an international language, connecting people.
On the moment, except of Greek, I speak English, I am trying to speak German, a bit of Dutch (or call it Flemish) and I'm on my way to decide which language should be next...!

PHILOSOPHY

Find a job you love and you will never have to work in your life.

Try to learn as much as you can, see as much as you can, feel what you can afford.

Interests

I love to travel and always the thought of a new travel makes me enthusiastic and impatient. I am always interested in learning the history and the culture of a new place I'm visitingc from its people.

I also like spending my time with friends, hanging around and talking, talking, talking, cooking and reading books.

Music, Movies, and Books

Fight Club because it moved me. I want to watch it again and again and again.
Inception because I found it inspired.

The portrait of Dorian Gray is my favourite book because the apothegms and the philosophies in it are incredible.

The music I listen anytime is jazz and rock. I am always open in any kind of good music.
