Όταν ήμουν επτά ετών, ο πατέρας μου με πήρε μαζί του στην Αυστραλία. Από τότε είχα μια αίσθηση περιπέτειας, άλλοτε φανερή και άλλοτε κρυμμένη κάτω απο οικογενειακές υποχρεώσεις... σαν η ζωή να μούκλεινε το μάτι και να μούλεγε "....έχεις πολλά να ζήσεις φιλαράκο....". Το Μάρτιο 2025, η δημοσιογράφος Ελένη Βασιλάκη, μου πήρε συνέντευξη και την δημοσίευσε εδώ (Newshub.gr)
Αbout 15 years ago, I decided to get off the couch ...I’m bored of you... I told him, and I left. At first, I used to go hiking in my everyday city clothes. After getting advice from hikers and mountaineers, I started getting serious, buying the right gear and investing in an expensive hobby—my second one after scale modeling.
Τhat’s how the first 1000m ascents began, followed by higher and longer climbs. I started seeing mountains as a romantic attraction that improved my health, leading me to tougher, multi-day excursions. They made me stronger, always seeking something more unprecedented and challenging, a cycle of health-mountaineering-health, and definitely not a vicious one!
I started this travel blog halfway through my journey, aiming to flip through its pages and relive beautiful memories: hiking the mountains of Patagonia, walking the black sand beaches of Iceland, trekking through the rice paddies of Nepal, and even those missed encounters in distant Alaska. My blog has since grown, and many friends now trust it as a source of information for their own travel destinations.
I have traveled to almost every continent, and just when I thought ...I was 'complete' as a world traveler..., running entered my life. I’m not possessed by the passion of the stopwatch (after all, races in antiquity weren't timed anyway), instead, I combine racing with the cultural discovery of the host city and its surrounding region. My goal is to run a Half Marathon on every continent—and there are seven of them, damn it! Some are accessible, others less so, like Antarctica.
When I was seven years old, my father took me with him to Australia. Since then, I’ve always had a sense of adventure—sometimes obvious, other times hidden beneath family responsibilities... as if life were winking at me and saying ...you have a lot to experience, buddy...
