About Me

***I’m fully vaccinated! :) ***

I am from New Zealand, also half Greek Cypriot. I am currently between Greece and Barcelona. I have traveled quite a lot! ❤️

I'm open minded and interested in meeting new people. I studied music, I am a composer, singer, and teacher. I am also passionate about drawing/illustration and graphic design. I grew up on a farm in New Zealand, so I feel very connected to nature and enjoy the tranquility of nature. However, I also enjoy the city life!

In general I’m a pretty chill person to live with. Easy going, having a joke and a laugh here and there is how I like to coexist with others. I’m considerate and tidy. Sometimes I like to go out, and sometimes I like to have quiet time to myself and be independent. :)

Music, Movies, and Books

Books... let's say authors: Two favourite authors are Joanne Harris and Angela Carter.
Films... Amores Perros, Y tu Mama Tambien,, Valerie's Week of Wonders, The Company of Wolves, Spirited Away, Motorcycle Diaries. ANYTHING by David Lynch... ALL wonderful! : )

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I did an ayahuasca ceremony in the midst of the jungle in Xilitla (Mexico). It was probably the most intense experience of my life…

Teach, Learn, Share

What can I teach: English, Greek, music, singing, art, Greek coffee and tarot reading (for fun!) I can share life experiences, things about my culture, and maybe I can cook some food for you!
