Description

Hello! I’m an artist and engineer with a background in both Mechanical Engineering (BA & MA) and Fine Arts (BA & MA). I love collaborating with others and have plenty of experience working on creative and collective projects. Art is my passion, and I’m always excited to explore its connections with philosophy, psychology, politics, and history—it’s fascinating how these areas intertwine!

Lately, life in Greece has been a bit overwhelming, so I’m looking for a refreshing change of scenery. That’s why I turned to WorkAway—it seems like the perfect opportunity to meet new people, experience different cultures, and reset.

Looking ahead, I’m planning to move to Ireland next year to pursue a career in the art industry. I actually spent six months in Dublin back in 2022 and fell in love with the island, so I’m excited to go back and explore it further.

I’m a calm and easygoing person who enjoys meaningful conversations and connecting with others. I also have a soft spot for animals and kids—they bring so much joy! On top of that, I’m a seasoned Couchsurfing traveler and host, so I’m familiar with adapting to new environments and embracing new experiences.

I’m looking forward to the chance to contribute, learn, and make new memories through WorkAway!
