About Me
I'm a student of English Literature in Athens, currently doing my Erasmus in Brno, Czech Republic. These last months I'm travelling quite a lot, which is actually fullfiling my dream. a positive and open-minded person
Interests
I am a member of a folklore dancing group in my hometown and I've had many performances abroad. I enjoy dancing, and it's true I've missed it a little bit here. I also enjoy hitchhiking since I've had some of my best memories with friends while crossing central Europe
