My Self My name is Nicholas. I am 49 years old, born on 02-07-1960, in Athens, Greece. In my life I have traveled a lot, in virtually every continent. I have studied in England (London) where I got my first MBA, and in USA (California) where I got my second MBA. I have fulfilled my academic aspirations and got a PhD from Strathclyde University in Glasgow (December, 2001). I live in Athens, Greece, my star sign is Cancer, and as I’ve been told I have a Leo horoscope. Generally speaking I have an outgoing personality, I am self sarcastic, realistic, impulsive, optimistic, rational, practical, and very open-minded, I like animals especially dogs (I had a pedigree, an English Bulldog named Joy), I am extremely honest, emancipated, daring, (wait there are more!!), simple, and every day I say what a wonderful and exciting day this can be. I am not a womanizer, liar, but I am sensitive, caring, with lots of understanding and patience, hospitable, discrete, I like quality very much, meaningful and delicate surprises, exciting things, escaping outside of Athens be close to nature and a real gentleman as I have been told. I like the sea, the adventure, quality, tenderness, good humor (which is difficult to find), art, and books with good sense of humor. Also I like epicure things like a good meal, a good malt whiskey, a good gl of wine, and a sincere honest and interesting conversation. I adore beauty, mutual respect and the magic and the beauty of the moon in August.
