Background
Moving between London and Athens from a young age, John has always been travelling.
His natural aptitude for foreign languages (he speaks Greek and German fluently, Spanish and Portuguese very well, plus tourist French and Italian) has allowed him to dig deeper into a country’s culture, most notably his homeland, Greece.
His other love is Brazil, a place he has visited six times to date. The more he travels there, the more his fascination increases.
