2015 - IMPORTANT NOTES

- Guys, I live in Argostoli, Cephalonia NOT Zakynthos!

- Please read my profile and afterwards sent me a couch request.

In any case, have a great time anywhere you go! :)

CURRENT MISSION

2014-2015 - The mission continues: To experience life out of my head… (Oh, that won't happen) Ok… To balance life in and out of my head. (Better) In short, participate! :)

ABOUT ME

True occupation:
Wondering about everything... Thinking too much; laughing too loud; observing me, people, life.

True education:
Still studying… (Or maybe I should admit that I'm dropping out -years now :P)

Born and raised:
I was born and raised in Larisa which is in Central Greece and at the age of 19, I moved to Cephalonia to study and begin my adult life. So, since 2006 I've been living in Argostoli (the capital of the island). I can't say I've explored and taken everything this amazing place could give me but it was certainly the place that gave me what I wanted the most: Time pour moi (for me).

In General:
I am interested in everything! Ha ha.. That's helpful and very specific, right..? :P

Well, mainly in my life you could say that I am focused in the journey within... Wondering about my decisions, my actions, my feelings.

I never had a hobby that was an important part of my life and always wanted one. BIG part of my life is writing, which I don't see it as a hobby but as an extension of me! Through writing I have evolved and matured. It's how I express myself. How I find myself.

I always wondered why the hell don't I have something that excites me... And then, a few years back, I found the answer. Truly, really -believe me- everything excites me.

It's something that defines me. Everything excites me in life. The green color of a tree, how people are simple and complicated at the same time, why a word may have two different meanings... I could write forever. Literally :)

Nowadays (June 2015):
Some months ago I quit my job (I worked at a newspaper for 7 years) and now I moved on to a local radio station. Apparently, public media are "in the cards" or "in the stars" or something, for me. I also have a blog which is kind of a cyberspace-journal for my thoughts -but I haven't been active for quite a while (Let's blame the "career change" for that)...
Well, that's it. For more information make an appointment! :P

PHILOSOPHY

"A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step" - Confucius

"When you forgive, you love. And when you love, God's light shines upon you." - Jon Krakauer

"Obstacles are those scary things you see when you take your eyes off your goal!" - Unknown

"Imagination is more important than knowledge." - Albert Einstein (Just stop and realise that everything we have created came from thin air. Someone imagined it and then it became real. It's amazing!)
