About Me

I was born in Agrinio, a small city in western Greece, where I spent my early years doing community work, mountain climbing, playing basketball and guitar and exploring nature. In 2009 I entered the Business Administration department of Athens University of Economics and Business and soon got involved in a variety of actions that highlighted the value of volunteerism, proper education and civic engagement.

At the age of 21 I co-founded GloVo (www.glovo.com.gr), a global platform that connects volunteers to social actions, volunteering opportunities and events, and entered the world of TEDx events by being a member of the organizing teams of TEDxAthens and TEDxAUEB.

Travelling and volunteering are two things I really enjoy doing. I have been a volunteers' coordinator in many volunteer actions and events and a speaker in conferences and workshops, both in Greece and abroad, talking about youth entrepreneurship and highlighting the need to redefine volunteerism and mobilize young people to act.

Since 2014, I have been serving as the co-ambassador of the Greek hub of the Thousand Network, a global community of exceptional, passionate pioneers who inspire and empower each other to create a better world.

In February 2015, I joined PwC, where I currently work as a Finance Function Effectiveness consultant.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I travel a lot, I enjoy meeting interesting local people and I can sleep anywhere. Literally.

Interests

Hmm let's see... almost all kinds of sports, from basketball and soccer, to table tennis and kickboxing. Cruising with my longboard, playing the guitar, going to the cinema or hanging around with friends, travelling, travelling, travelling, volunteering and looot's of other things I can't remember right now.

Music, Movies, and Books

Yeah, something you should know about me... I don't like to answer to "your favorite...." questions, cuz I don't have favorites. :)

I met Bill Clinton 3 years ago during a conference and put him on hold for 45 seconds, so that my friend would take a picture of us.
