My name is Giorgos and I was born and still live in my beloved city, Thessaloniki. I was raised in a neighborhood of the city that is famous for two things. The soccer club Paok and the greek fast food Gyros. SInce a kid I loved doing three things; playing basketball, reading books and playing music. The last few years I do mainly the last two. My first degree is in Finance. Since then I have done many different jobs. From a burger delivery guy to a refugee camps' assistant on the field. Finally I decided that what I wanted to do in my life is to become a tourist guide. That's why I graduated from the tourist guides' school under the ministry of Tourism and after two years of hard studying I became an official licensed tourist guide. Since then I have travelled all over Greece, following the steps of St Paul, exploring the places where Alexander the Great passed through and discovering the beauties of this country.
