7) What do you love about Greece? I love the hospitality of the Greek people, and the unique nature of my country. I love Greece’s nature because we have beautiful forests, places that are a mix between Greek’s culture and its natural beauty.
8) Tell us something most people don’t know about you? Most of the People don’t know that l started my adventure company Exploroloco as a way to get over my fears and to test my personal limits. For example, I’ve had to jump out of an airplane, climb the tallest mountain, survive in sub 20 degree C weather and so on. It is a way for me to see how far I can go.. 🙂
9) First time you tried Kundalini Yoga? I tried Kundalini Yoga at Bounty boat in the summer of 2018 at a night cruise
10) Anything else we should know? I love exploring and trying new things. I want to see the world and photograph every opportunity.. 🙂 My personal belief is that ignorance is the greatest fear. You can’t really fear something if you haven’t experience it..So to face your fears and get past them, you need to go have experiences!
