“Imagine if I could do this for a living” I sighed while leaning back at the backseat of my taxi after dropping off my friends, visiting from overseas after a long weekend of me introducing me to the most local gems the town could offer. I was only 19 years old and looking back I realized that curating exceptional memories was my passion. To my surprise, I soon found out that I can do this for a living! And this is indeed what I am destined to do.

Born and raised in the iconic island of Zakynthos, in a family of hoteliers I discovered my love for making friends feel like home away from home ever since I was running behind my mother, barefoot with salty hair, who was serving breakfast in our family’s small motel or trying to welcome our new Guests in broken English next to my father!

During my studies in International Relations, Politics, Economics, Business Management and Marketing, my curiosity for humanities lead me to explore Art, Culture, Philosophy and Travel while I was more than lucky to come across people from all around the globe. Of course, this sparked my love for intercultural exchange and never- ending discovery!

My destined career path became clear the moment I landed my first job! I became a “Luxury Concierge” in some of Greece’s  most high-end resorts.  I was there to accumulate all the knowledge of this sector and more. This path resulted in a rewarded, distinctive and successful personal brand along with a trusted network of business associates and liaisons. A hands-on executive of various positions, I have collaborated with the industry’s most outstanding players and have supervised stays of numerous outstanding VIPs from all sorts backgrounds.

Eventually, it was time for my personal venture!
