I’m a beautiful amalgam from Cyprus (Greek part) and Palestine. Almost born in Bulgaria, ended up being born and raised in Cyprus.
12 facts to know me better
I have a loving, supportive family and a few select friends.
I’m an introvert at heart. I love sharing my time 1:1 with someone, this helps me listen, connect and get closer to them. 2-3 people at a single time is probably my max. Now, I’m a learned extrovert, which means that when I need to, I can get out of my cave and share time with a bigger crowd (this takes more energy out of me, but I’m happy of using the excuse for more down time :D)
I’m a doctor. Yeap, finished medical school in Pécs, Hungary in 2013 and I’m working full time now in Switzerland’s psychiatry world. And yes, I got all the good drugs to my expense.
I’m a certified life coach. Yes, I’ve actually studied it. This diploma and a dear friend have helped me realise that the world of psychiatry and coaching are the right ones for me.
I love challenges and having my own business on the side challenges me a lot. Now I’m working on it during my breaks, weekends, vacays and free time (aka when I’m not busy doing something else). It might take more time, but I’m enjoying the ride.
I’ve been a pretty fat teenager: 120 kgs. Nowadays I might be something like 70kgs. My goal now is to get to 64 kgs and stabilise. My stubbornness, wisdom, my awesome health and personal training coaches will help me get there, safer and faster! As sad as it is, even doctors need specialists about implementing a healthy lifestyle and fitness
I’ve fallen in love and got hurt. Who hasn’t right? And I know it’s frightening to keep putting an open heart out there, knowing I have a 50% chance of getting hurt, but not trying at all is for me a no-go. This mermaid is convinced, there’s someone out there just for her
I loooove doing sooooo many other, different things: dancing (flamenco, latin dances, Greek/Cypriot traditional dances), learning new languages (now arabic, next year hopefully refreshing French and Spanish), planning (looove my planner), traveling (don’t get me started!), teaching, singing (in the bathroom and in small, local, cozy places), writing (currently blogging and working on a fantasy children’s book), playing the violin, painting, going to the gym (obsessed with Zumba and Les Mills programs), connecting with people… The next big thing in my bucket list is to kite surf!
I take my personal development and “inner goddesses” very seriously and I don’t hesitate to invest money on ’em. I’m always looking for the latest courses, workshops and events that can teach me something I can learn and use. Ma mama always said: “Learn an art and let it go!”. Ok, it sounds better in Cypriot dialect but here’s the main takeaway: “Learning=Art=Contributing to the Self & Others”.
I believe in making love, not war. I’m against guns and the the idea of the army, when its purpose is to hurt people.
I adoooore design, simplicity, beauty and uniqueness: fashion, hair, pretty dresses and comfortable shoes. I wish I had all the money for unique pieces. Maybe you get a glimpse of this here
