👨‍💻 I am a 🅳🅸🅶🅸🆃🅰🅻 🅽🅾🅼🅰🅳 , which means that I travel and work remotely. I need WiFi/Data and electricity to work with my smartphone and laptop. I usually make business video calls and work on my laptop daily. What do I do? I help people discover their ikigai: a job they love, they are good at it, the world needs it, and they can be rewarded for it.

🤗 I love meeting new people worldwide and discussing cultures, traveling, and personal stories. I can also help people with their professional development with ideas, suggestions, and tips, as my job is Career and Business Coaching, and I love what I do! I met people from around 100 countries so far!

🍄 I love nature, so I prefer relevant activities and places such as hiking, kayaking, horse-riding, snorkeling, scuba diving, lakes, rivers, beaches, waterfalls, caves, forests, and animals. I also like to visit castles in beautiful places.

🦉 I enjoy lifelong learning and self-education via self-growth articles, videos, coaching, mentoring, educational activities, and new experiences.

💃 I love dancing Bachata Sensual and Cacao & Kirtan Ceremonies, so if you know of any events around the place I visit, let me know! I also do AcroYoga, Meditation, and Tabata workouts occasionally.

🎧 I like to listen to Latin music (Bachata, Kizomba, Reggaeton); depending on the mood, I listen to many different genres. My favorite musical instrument is the violin, and I sometimes listen to acapella music while working or studying for a better focus and comprehension rate.

🎬 I like watching movies that expand the mind, like sci-fi, space, and animation, so Marvel, DC, Pixar, and Disney movies are my favorite.

🌮 I love tasting traditional food and desserts! I follow a vegan diet, so I taste them only if they have a vegan edition (I don't eat meat, poultry, fish, seafood, dairy, eggs, and bee products). I LOVE anything with vegetables, mushrooms, tofu, legumes, cereals, nuts, and fruits! Let me know if you know the relevant traditional dishes of the place I visit. If we can cook them together, even better! I drink tea and non-alcoholic drinks without sugar. I mostly drink green tea, still water, and 0% Alc. Beers, 0% Alc. Wines, fresh-squeezed juices, lemonades, vegan smoothies, mocktails, and soda.

🌍 I support Global Goals by changing my daily habits for a better environmental and social impact. I enjoy the Green lifestyle (Vegan and Zero waste habits, Minimalism, and Slow-travelling).

🎯 My plan for the future is to transform 1.000.000.000 lives by becoming an International Trainer for Career, Business, Coaching, Digital Nomadism, and Personal Development Trainings. You will mainly find me around Southeast Asia and Europe, traveling for Mindvalley events, Erasmus+ projects, open call trainings, relevant educational activities, or just meeting international friends and exploring new places.

PS. I usually publish my trips; if you invite me to host, tell me why you chose me as a guest, I will also appreciate it if you have a stable WiFi connection and a warm, quiet place where I can work with my laptop.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

𝐕𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝟗 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝟕 𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐡𝐬 𝐝𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐂𝐨𝐯𝐢𝐝

I visited 9 countries in 7 months, 2 of them twice! (Germany, Czech Republicx2, Netherlandsx2, Hungary, Spain, Gibraltar (British Overseas Territory), Portugal, Bulgaria, N. Macedonia)

𝟭.𝟯𝟬𝟬 𝗸𝗶𝗹𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗿𝗼𝗮𝗱𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗽

I did a road trip with my car, a 1.300 kilometers trip in Greece to Epirus (Preveza, Arta), Parga, Syvota, and Lefkada. Sleeping in the car for 8 days and spending my money on Water Paragliding 250 meters above the sea in Nydri-Lefkada, Canoeing, Flying Fox and Horse-Riding at Acherontas River, trekking and swimming in the frozen Acherontas River, swimming in the Waterfall of Lefkada with "frogs", take the "Ancient style" Odysseia Ship with the amazing Captain Gerasimos to Skorpios island, Meganisi island and Papanikolis Sea Cave full of "bats", take a cruise with a small ship at Syvota and have a fantastic road trip in total by joining local events too with fireworks, food, music, dancing, and happy faces :D

𝟯 𝗱𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗽 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗺𝗼𝗻𝗲𝘆, 𝗳𝗼𝗼𝗱, 𝗽𝗵𝗼𝗻𝗲, 𝘃𝗲𝗵𝗶𝗰𝗹𝗲, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗮 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗹𝗲𝗲𝗽

One more fantastic thing I've done was a 3days trip without money, food, phone, vehicle, and a place to sleep in a country where most people didn't speak English. This task was part of training for personal development. So I had in my team 2 women and 1 man with different nationalities and different personalities trying to work together and survive these 3 days. We traveled to 6 towns/villages by hitchhiking, walking, and train (for free after the approval of the security guards). We asked for food from bakeries, cafe bars, and local people by randomly ringing the bells of houses and entering a wide variety of shops to ask for help. Locals helped us find a place to sleep, so we slept at 2 churches. The whole experience was unique and made me realize that there are very kind people around the world, and if you need help, you only have to "ask" for help. The team building was also very challenging as we were 4 different people, we had members in our team that were tired, they were afraid, they were wet (as we had 1 rainy day and we walked 5 hours during raining without an umbrella), they wanted to quit, but we managed to complete the task with success, smiles, and happy faces :D We also had some fun activities during this trip. Ask me about Tom the Egg and the Dinosaur questionnaire!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you traveling hacks and apps so you can save money on your future trips! I can also show you how to dance Bachata Sensual, Kizomba, and Salsa LA. If we have the appropriate space (grass, sand, yoga mat), I can teach you some basic AcroYoga poses. I can teach you some essential Greek words for everyday communication. I can share information about local events and exciting places to visit in Athens or around Greece and about the Greek culture, traditions, habits, and the job market. I can offer you advice relevant to my job, like CV, LinkedIn, Cover letter, Job Interview, and Job Search tips. I can also let you know about EU opportunities like Erasmus+ YouthExchange, Training Courses, Erasmus for Young Entrepreneurs, European Solidarity Corps (previously known as EVS), Open Call Trainings, and more.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can teach everything I describe in the sector Teach, Learn, Share. I can also share travel stories and tips and help the hosts cook, clean, shop, or join activities together. We can also play a quiz game to test your knowledge about Greece, and then we can watch a short video about Greece where you will learn many new things.
