About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Meet different cultures and learn something valuable from them!

ABOUT ME

I was born in the greek island of Chios, the only place in the world where you can find "mastiha", a natural and rare tree resin, which has special qualities.
My traveling adventures started at the age of 3 (because of my dad's job) and keeps going till now (because of my job), so I had the opportunity to visit many beautiful Greek cities and become an expert in adaptation to new situations.

My personality can't be described in a few words but i' ll try! :) Ι consider my self as a happy, spontaneous and open minded person, who enjoys the small pleasures of life... I love being around friends and traveling in different places around the world!! I also adore cats!
My attitude towards recent economic and political crisis in Greece, is to stay and fight for real democracy and a better future!

PHILOSOPHY

In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life. It goes on.
Laugh as much as you breathe and love as long as you live.
Consider how hard it is to change yourself and you'll understand what little chance you have in trying to change others.

What most people need to learn in life is how to love people and use things instead of using people and loving things.

"Until philosophers are kings, or the kings and princes of this world have the spirit and power of philosophy, and political greatness and wisdom meet in one.... cities will never have rest from their evils-no, nor the human race." -Plato

"Know thyself" - Socrates
"Nothing in excess"(from the temple of Apollo at Delphi)
"Today is the first day of the rest of your life."
“One's philosophy is not best expressed in words; it is expressed in the choices one makes ... and the choices we make are ultimately our responsibility.”
“The essence of philosophy is that a man should so live that his happiness shall depend as little as possible on external things.”
Believe those who are seeking the truth. Doubt those who find it.
