About Me

CURRENT MISSION

One life, live it!

ABOUT ME

After living outside my home country (Greece) for about 10 years, I returned back to start over.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is short (the YOLO concept...). Some people haven't realized that yet, but I think I finally did :) We need to gather experiences from life, intense ones if possible. In this life we work to gather money to spend in things that matter to us. Cause when we leave this world, we take nothing with us.
