About Me

I am a chemical engineering graduate, anticipating to kick off the next chapter of my life. It will be settled in the Netherlands, as I am moving there really really soon, to work under a traineeship shceme. During my studies, I did some budget-travelling mostly around Europe. Now, that "I've grown up", I am planning my next adventures in other continents.

To get to the gist, though, of the reality of who I am: I adore tastes, smells, stories and smiles! Oh, yes, I am definetely a foodie. I am, also, flexible and easy-going. I love my friends and I cannot stress how much. And I love hanging out with people I didn't know before, who will become my friends. I am an optimist and positive thinker by choice.

Interests

Sports. During my studies, I was practicing Taekwondo and I took part in some Taekwondo championships. One night though, I watched a show of Argentinean Tango and it turned out to be love on the first sight. That's how I 've started dancing Tango, as well.

Nature. Camping. My goal was to start hiking systematically this year, but now that I 'm moving to a country with altitude below zero; maybe the goal will be postponed for next year.

Apparently, I, also, travel and I enjoy volunteering; but these things both are more of an attitude towards life than "interests".

Lastly, I am intrested in and curious about group dynamics and emotional intelligence.

Music, Movies, and Books

To my heart it's like: books>movies>music. So, I'll speak mostly about books. I am fond of tales and classical literature. My list of favourites consists of:
-"The happy prince and other tales"
-"The little prince"
-"Crime & Punishment"
-"The picture of Dorian Gray" and
-"The willowy girl" by A. Karkavitsas to add a Greek one to on the list, as well.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

-Finnish sauna -> 85oC. 30'' later: Finnish lake: ->5oC
-Spontaneous trip to natural thermal baths in the heart of winter. My friends and I were indulging ourselves inside the warm small lake and on top of us it was snowing!

Teach, Learn, Share

Happiness is not a state to arrive at; it's rather a manner of travelling.
