My expat journey
Athens, Greece
We are currently in the settling in phase, we still need to buy a car, have just finished furnishing the house. We spent most of our summer at Oropos beaches, and catching up with my partners family and friends.
My career was a building designer. Currently not working, however slowly exploring ideas, might start shaking things up a little soon and see what lands where.
The markets and fresh food, the beaches, and warm weather. The happy welcoming disposition of nearly all Greeks.
Road rage, dirty streets and cramped, slippery uneven pavement.
