Personal

I was born and grown up in the city of Patras, in Greece.

Most of the Greeks believe that our city is all about its Carnival (here is 2015 night parade). Well, apparently they may not be completely wrong! However, apart from hosting the second biggest port, we claim that we enjoy the most wonderful sunset in the whole country.

While, spending time in various activities, like chess (my club in Greece and my club in Spain), or like football (it's not always easy to support PAOK), I should acknowledge that most of my childhood was invested in here (the website of my boy scouting troop, for more than 10 years).

University life became a bit more artistic ("Grace" performing live at Artware Festival 2006), and a bit more risky, but football remained football (Spartakos on the road to glory again).

So, after surviving 8 months inside a container (literally), somehow accidentally, I came to Madrid to study economics. Of course, at that moment I was not aware of neither this nor this. But again football remained football.

However, one image is worth a thousand words, so I will not say more...
