ABOUT ME

For those who breathe more slowly, there is more time to spend.

I get along with most people.

I wanna see what God looks like, how myths are connected to our local culture, how magic is still everywhere around us.

I write three to five hours a day and the rest of the time is free to spend.

I say yes to allmost everything and I'm glad to help where I can.

Last year I've been living as a house-and-dogsitter in Brussels.

In Athens I give French classes to immigrants. Also we started up a theatre group. Visit me at Steki Methanaston.

PHILOSOPHY

I don't really have a personal philosophy. I read a lot of books though.
If you don't know, just say you don't know.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In 2012 I won this writing contest. Afterwards I was invited to meet The Dutch Queen Beatrix. It was a wonderful experience with a great lady. Our conversation didn't last long, but it was certainly unique.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you the basics of Acting skills, aikido, how to use your voice in a proper way (shout it loud!).

I'd like to learn more about local culture.
I seem to find every form of life worth trying. I like to hear old stories

Sharing is giving. Giving is receiving. Life is a gift.
