I was born in a small village in the west part of Greece, close to the local cities of Mesologgi and Agrinio and next to the biggest lake of Greece, Trixonida. After completing high-school, i moved to Patras to study engineering. Upon the end of my studies i moved to USA, then to Switzerland, France and some time later back to Switzerland. Recently i moved to Abu-Dhabi, in the United Arab Emirates, living somewhere in-between Europe and Asia.
