My name is Konstantina Rodi. I was born and live in Athens. My studies were around Cinema and Theater (directing, acting) mainly, but also in supportive anesthesiology. I love foreign languages, reading and writing (short stories, lyrics, screenplays, plays). In recent years I have been studying and teaching in Greece the Andean tradition, which is a worldview that is very similar to the Greek one.

I work in the Tourism industry, and more specifically in the organization of seminars, events, pan-Hellenic and world conferences.
