About Me

CURRENT MISSION

i am determined to make the best out of my erasmus exprerience in Spain!!!! get to know people from other countries, learn the language better, travel as much as i can!!!!!

ABOUT ME

There are times when I do absolutely crazy things (i kinda have a thing for adventure!!!) and times when i just wanna be left alone dancing!!! That's the most important thing you should know about me!!! I adore expressing myself through movement, and to me that means dancing!!!!!
I'm really a people person. I like knowing new people all the time and I always hope that it can turn to a profound friendship!!! I love meeting people from all over the world, exchange our thoughts and experiences and learn from one another!!!!
That is why I am addicted to travelling!! Apart from seeing new places, it's the best opportunity to meet different people, learn about other cultures!!!
I personally believe that in the times we're living, it good to rely on communication to make you way through the world.
But it honestly doesn't matter what anyone says about theirself because let's face it!! We can't be objective enough!!! haha
So you can develop your own opinion once you get to know me!!! :D

PHILOSOPHY

Seize the day!!!
It sounds cliche and it might be, but I think that we're all so stressed out trying to plan our future etc etc etc, that we never actually enjoy each day..and it is true what they say about not knowing when it's going to be your last day..so why not try to enjoy every moment and stop worrying and getting angry and all that crap we usually stress out about??

Interests

dance, music (i used to play the piano and one of my goals for the coming year is to pick it up once again!!),tennis (but i actually like playing just about any kind of sport!!), snowboarding, reading books (lots of them!!!!), learging foreign languages, hanging out with friends doing whatever we feel like doing at the moment, i also enjoy good food with the appropriate company, travelling (obviously!!!!)

Music, Movies, and Books

If I start listing all the movies and books I have enjoyed it will propably take me all night long...
But I did see a couple of really interesting movies lately which I'd like to share with you!!
El baile de la Victoria and Los abrazos rotos!!!
And a couple of books I really think are worth reading are The Return from Victoria Hislop (I actually read that one right before coming to live in Granada!!) and A Thousand Splendid Suns from Khaled Hosseini!!!
When it comes to music, I do have my preferences which change accordingly to my mood, but I am open to listening any kind of music!!!!

Teach, Learn, Share

In my mind we learn and at the same time teach when we talk to each other!!! And we definately share a discussion together!!hehe
Apart from that, I would be more than happy to teach a bit of my mother tongue (greek) or english or whatever you want!!!
I can teach salsa, latin dances in general, argentine tango!!!
I'd love to learn any kind of foreign language and any kind of dance!!!
