Overview
About Me
I am half Greek, but have grown up in Slovenia. So far, I have lived in four other countries: Spain, Ireland, Greece, and the Netherlands, and met some great people along the way. In the last ten years, I have discovered so much about the world, life and myself, it sometimes feels like it's all been a movie.
People say I talk fast and smile a lot. I'm quite imaginative, interested in ideas, and inspired by creativity and people's ability to give love and create beauty.
I like hearing and telling stories, live music, long walks, and taking in little, every-day moments. And I adore guinea-pigs. :)
FAVOURITE QUOTES
Dr. Cox: Look, Newbie, there are times a man wants to keep something to himself. Like, say, he's got a son. Or he's 29 years old and keeps a journal with a unicorn drawn on the cover?
J.D. : Ah, that's a horse with a sword on his head, and he's there to guard my hopes and dreams.
(Scrubs)
Darkness cannot drive out darkness, only light can do that. (Martin Luther King Jr.)
The question is not what you look at but what you see. (Thoreau)
La utopía está en el horizonte. Camino dos pasos, ella se aleja dos pasos. Camino diez pasos y el horizonte se corre diez pasos más allá. Por mucho que camine nunca la alcanzaré. ¿Entonces para que sirve la utopía? Para eso, sirve para caminar. (Eduardo Galeano)
