I'm a greek girl living in Rennes, yes I must be crazy to let such a beautiful country like Greece and move here but I did it for studies. I miss warm sunny days though but thanks to my vitamin D I'm getting used to Brittany's rainy days.
I'm a Master's degree student, I'm studying General and Comparative Literature, specified in Greek Mythology and Political fiction in Balkan Literature. It's not as interesting as it sounds! I'm trying to find a job here, in Greece I was working as a teacher mostly as volunteer because it's difficult to find a job there, FUCKING CRISIS!
I'm politically engaged, Antiracist, Antifascist, Feminist, Human and Animal Rigts activist, in Greece I did a lot of actions and I'm trying my best in Rennes too.
I live at the city center, nearby the Opera, I have a tiny appartment but also cozy at the third floor of an old building. My home is two minutes from subway and bus stations.

Worked as a care taker at a summer camp for disabled people. It was the best experience of my life!

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to learn new languages so I would like to learn your language and I can also learn you some words from the languages I already speak. In the past I was a Taekwondo athlete so I can show you some moves if you like!

I don't like cooking but I like to eat! I can cook for you though some greek dishes if you want! I'll take you to my favourite anarchist-communist bar for some drinks too. Even if I'm two years in Rennes, I'm still not used to this city but I'll do my best to show you my own perspective of Rennes, from the eyes of a foreigner!
