  Description

  My name is Ioannis, I was born in '86 in Athens. After living in Patra and Elefsina I ended up working as a Bio-medical engineer. I soon grew tired of the fast-paced city life and decided to move to a more compatible environment. Here in North Euboea I enjoy a more rural lifestyle and have more control over my resources. For the last 3 years I have been cultivating and caring for my own plot of land.
  
  My projects main aim is to be as autonomous as possible in terms of food production, water supply, energy needs and good social relationships. Financial I get by, by working odd jobs and hope to sustain myself from the land in the near future.
  
  I plan to host workshops on Regenerative Agriculture and Natural Building.
