INTERESTS
Travel and discovery of cultures and technology are important to
me.
I visited the USA twice and North Africa.
I also have had the opportunity
to travel extensively in several countries in Asia, like China, India,
Thailand, Malaysia, Qatar, Oman, Israel and Jordan, in the Caribbean
Islands Jamaica and Trinidad & Tobago as well as all over
Europe. As a result, I feel confident to communicate with people from
different religions and cultures and simultaneously understand their views and
attitudes. Especially I was happy to experience their civilization, way of life
and level of technology.
Hiking, swimming, cycling and mountaineering are my
favourite activities.
This is the reason that, especially
during my summer vacations in Litohoro, I have visited most of the refugees of Olympus and not only, while I managed to reach both the peak «Mytikas» of Olympus (2918 m) and the peak of Ossa or Kissavos
(1978 m).
In my social and religious life,
during my PhD studies (1993-96), I used to be an active member of the Greek
Christian Orthodox Community in London.
