About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Explore the world and myself. Meet new people, experience new things and share my knowledge with others/take in all that I can.

ABOUT ME

Im a Greek/Canadian with a ton of energy! I love sports and outdoor activities of all kinds and I have participated in numerous activities including; whitewater kayaking, rowing, rugby, gymnastics, climbing, race kayaking, hockey, soccer, wrestling, acro yoga, pole vault, among others. I love being outside and my hobbies include camping, biking, climbing, surfing, etc.
I am a very open minded and fun loving person and I am always willing to try new things. I am personable and social and love travelling and meeting new people. :) Currently working on taking some more time for myself, and enjoying the still moments in life.

PHILOSOPHY

"Tread lightly on this earth, we have but one. Leave only footprints, take only photos."

"Never stop exploring."

"Everything in moderation, including moderation."

"I'm strong because I've been weak, I'm fearless because I've been afraid, I'm wise because I've been foolish."

Life doesn't have to be black and white! Learn to see the colour and the world becomes a much more beautiful place.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Ive travelled to a lot of countries in my short life so far and each place has something different and amazing to offer. I've met some incredible people and made lifelong friends across the globe. I feel so fortunate.

Favourite places include: South Africa, Spain/Portugal, Greece (my second home), New Zealand, Germany, Laos, Fiji and many more. I have a bit of a travel bug.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have some experience with acro yoga (acrobatic yoga...look it up, its super cool and addicting)! I have taught all types of beginners and love to share it with people. Im the kind of person that loves doing a variety of things, so I have a lot of talents in a variety of areas, but I'm not fantastic at any one thing, but I know that I can bring a lot to the table.
