About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Make the best out of my time as a BA student of physiotherapy! just as simple as that!!!

ABOUT ME

All about me??

oh well...Let's see, I am a physiotherapy student that lives away from his home and family. A person that loves to travel around just as well as sharing my couch with other fellow travelers. I want to live a happy life, meet people, improve others' life, let others improve my life, share smiles, interests, passions, music...

I do have a great interest in music (been playing the guitar and the piano for a while), I do LOVE basketball. I used to play semi-pro in Greece and currently I play for my university team in Amsterdam while at the same time I coach an amateur team.

...and basically that's it! for the rest I'll catch with you in person :)

PHILOSOPHY

enjoy this damn life...You only got one after all!!!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

It was a sunny day in February of 2012 when I biked with my brother from Amsterdam to Zandvoort (about 30 km). Only thing, it was freezing cold! Temperature of -20 C with the windchill to drop the real feeling down to -25 C. As I said it was sunny but the day before it snowed quite a lot. First time in my life (and possibly last) that I witnessed a snowy beach! Can't even start describing the awesomeness of the scenery!!
