About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Downshifting and simplicity

ABOUT ME

I have lived the last five years in Helsinki/Finland and recently returned back to Cyprus.
I would like to rediscover all the beautiful places of this small island and what a better way to do so with guests from all over the world
I love reading quotes which leads to learning from the experiences of other people. One of them is:
"True humility is not thinking less of yourself; it is thinking of yourself less"

I work from Monday to Friday, so during week days I probably won't be able to show you around.

PHILOSOPHY

There is bit of a humorous side in everything:)
I am constantly trying to embrace the "slow life" but doesnt always work..
Treat everyone with kindness and respect

Interests

Going to concerts of any kind, from classical/opera/ballet to rock and metal.
Often visiting museums and art exhibitions,pretending that i understand what i am looking at...
A movie aficionado,i love cinema,especially European.
I love sports as well, volleyball is my thing, but football is a close second.
Cooking and having friends over is another great way to spend an evening!
My favorite city in this world is Gent(Belgium)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Coming from a warm and sunny island,laying with just a swimming suit on Finnish snow and swimming in a hole made on a frozen lake was pretty peculiar..not thaaat amazing, but surely i will remember it for very long time!

Teach, Learn, Share

I am not wise enough to teach something to someone else..But i can share something i read:
"I choose the positive. There is always a choice,which attitude to choose.. the positive, the constructive. Optimism is a faith that leads to success"
"Be kind to people and don't judge, for you dont know what demons they carry and what battles they are fighting"
