Ι was born in Αustria in 1975. My father is Greek and my mother Austrian. I spent my first childhood years in Austria and Germany and came to Greece, when I was 8. Before coming to Ikaria I worked with a homeopathist in Athens for 5 years and was attending botanical study and therapy seminars at the same time. In the past I also worked as a receptionist in hotels as well as a guide on several Greek islands. I also worked voluntarily for some NGOs in projects related to animal welfare. I have traveled a lot and have lived in many places of Greece. In September 2008 I left the chaotic urban environment of Athens and made my way to Ikaria in order to grow roots in a more natural place with people who were still authentic and not yet spoiled by tourism or over-development. Once in Ikaria I got various temporary jobs, until I decided to dedicate myself to apiculture and mountain guiding. I'm one of the founding members of Ikaria’s Hiking and Mountaineering Club (O.P.S.I) and a founding member and partner of KANGA. Besides Greek, I speak German, English and Spanish.
