Additional information From 01/10/1999 until 16/01/2000 I studied at the Karl – Franzens University in Graz, Austria as a
scholar of the ERASMUS/ SOCRATES International Student Exchange Program. I studied
comparative literature and delivered an assignment entitled “Psychosisdarstellung in R. B. Hoffmann’s
und F. Kafka’s Werke, insbesondere “ Die Strafkolonie” und „Der Tod Georg’s“ „.
I delivered classes at the 1st Gymnasio Panorama and at the Goethe Institut of Thessaloniki as a
part of my university training and delivered a dissertation covering the didactical, practical and
educational aspects of this teaching practice.
I served in the Hellenic Navy from 10/01/2005 for a year. From 16/03/2005 until the end of my duties I
was stationed at the Hellenic Navy Detachment (HNDK) in Kiel, Germany, where I served as a

listen to music, read and collect comic books and watch movies. My hobbies include swimming, chess
