About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To find, "explore" myself and others through new experiences.

ABOUT ME

So let's get it started! I have graduated as a preschool teacher, and I work as a music pedagogue with kids and adults with special needs in SOS Children's Village of Thrace, in Alexandroupolis. I often work as a singer
my band in some live-stages in the city (Here is our work, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AkHB_iE76Ws). At the same time, I continue my studies in in Counselling Psychology. I adore all kinds of arts and I love being with children, teaching them and having the unique experience of their purity into their souls. I love being with people, I am an animal-loving, nature-loving and I like getting out of the groove of the daily life living experiences that I have never lived before. Besides, I don't have a the sense of time that other people have, so I am often a little late. ÃŽÂ’ut I am working on it ;)

I think that life would be better if love, solidarity and fraternity replaced exploitation , wars, and unequal distribution of goods. My big dream is having a big journey all over the world.

PHILOSOPHY

As Mahatma Gandhi said:"Be the change you want to see in the world". Life is a journey of a lasting changing of yourself, in order to improve your life. Rebel and stop being what others want you to be. "Hear" yourself and your needs. YOU are the "director" of your life. Stop collecting thins and collect moments :) Close your tv and do something creative everyday in order to to be developed into a better man. Do something that scares you, 'cause fears have to be faced and not to make our life difficult!

"Τravel is the only thing you buy that makes you richer"

"If you want your children to be intelligent, read them fairy tales.. If you want them to be more intelligent, read them more fairy tales.." (Albert Einstein)

"The core of mans' spirit comes from new experiences."
"Happiness only real when shared" (Christopher McCandless)

"Certainly, travel is more than the seeing of sights; it is a change that goes on, deep and permanent, in the ideas of living." (Miriam Beard)

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: Mainly european cinema.

Music: I don't like using labels for music, but in order to understand each other I prefer punk rock, alternative rock, greek music, pop, hip-hop and a kind of greek hip-hop called "low-bap", cretan music, rnb, ....., and alla that kinds of music that inspire me and beautify my life.
Life without music would be a miserable life!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I know that for some people is going to be insignificant, but the most amazing (and terrific) thing I have done in my life was when I decided to face my fear of height and dive from a cliff into the river from seven meters high. Well, I didn't overcame my fear, but I realized that after this, I can do anything!

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: Ι could show you some chords at guitar and help you learn!

Learn: whatever new for me is interesting and
welcome!
