About

I am British; coming from the South East of Essex, England. After becoming a professional ballet dancer at the age of sixteen, I was lucky enough to travel across the globe and experience destinations such as Japan, America, and many cities across Europe. Throughout my travels, my interest in other countries’ cultural traditions further flourished and I eventually decided to move to Greece to dive deep into the Greek culture and experience it at first hand. From that moment, I started to fiercely educate herself on everything Greek and took any avaliable opportunity to visit a new part of Greece’s mainland or one of her many islands. Throughout this period I gained experience as both a travel columnist and translator.

I may not be Greek, but with knowledge, experience and love of Greece, I am a worthy writer of Live the Greek Life.
