Greetings from Greece Steamies!!! I am Maria and I want a big hug from Steemians all over the world!!! Let's be friends :-))))

Hello there! I am Maria Georgiou, a 34-years old beautiful woman :-) from Athens, Greece. My origin is half and half. My mother Penelope is from Aetolia-Acarnania -a place where olives and smoke are the main product- and my father Constantinos is from Pyrgos Ileias. I was borned and raised here in Athens. I never left my city, except from the years 2011-2014 that i lived in Rethimno, Crete. This was a great experience that i will narrate another time.

So, let's get further down. I work as a receptionist- secretary at an importing company which imports wood vanishes from Germany. I also work part-times in a coffe-house as a hostess, because as you know here in Greece things are going worse and worse. BUT!!! We do not let things get us down!!

My neighborhood is Nea Filadelfia. This area until September 1927 was called Podoniftis, from the homonymous stream flowing through it. At that time, there were settled there refugees from Asia Minor. These refugees came from "Ampelokipi" area after a great fire that destroyed the huts they were staying. They were given new apartments in a settlement built there.

Today Nea Filadelfia is a fun area, as here yοu can find most of the souvlaki houses, taverns, cocktail bars, coffee shops and wine houses. Dozens of shops that you can visit with your friends either for food or drinks. One of my favourites is "Fairytale" a real fairytale house where i can find the most tasteful sweets and chocolates all over Athens!

But the most priceless thing here in Nea Filadelfia is the parks where i go for walks with my paw-partner Lettie ! She is my precious dog , my child and all we do when i have time is explore around our area. She is a beautiful female pitbull do which i have with my partner in crime Dimitris

We live together almost two years. He is the love of my life. Recently he proposed me with the perfect ring, I accepted and i think that maybe next year we'll be married. So.. This is for now! Hope I make a good impression and I 'll be back with more stories!!!

Greetings Steemians
With love,
Maria!
