My name comes
from the Greek
Mythology, from "LEDA and THE SWAN". Though I was born
in Athens, as well as my parents, our family name can be traced all the
way back to the 14th century, to the Ionian island of Zakynthos. From my dad's side, my origins are traced to Zakynthos
& Amorgos, and from my mom's side, to Pontos & Asia Minor.
I grew up in a house in the SUBURB of Athens and went for studies to a university abroad to become a psychologist. GROWING UP , I had a special connection to horses and kids. Have a look a what makes me me, my likes &dislikes. Live vicariously through my favorite performances, see my kind of ART, my favorite movies and add your own, and listen to my kind of music. Last but not least, take a sneak preview in my childhood memories! You guessed it right: I'm completely mad about stuff!

- It's not
TODAY you idiots!!!
As I was saying I was born42,43, ...48 years ago (sorry the number
frequently changes) in Greece!
As I was saying I was born
I've spent all
my childhood in the northern suburbs of Athens. I lived in a house of 5: my
parents....
It was several years
ago that I decided to leave the family nest and live on my own.
As for being on my own, everyone kept
telling me about the beauty of living alone!
I can't complain, it has certainly been interesting!!
as they see me and whose houses reek with smells of
wonderfully cooked meals and who always kindly invite me over for
...dinner.
Going back to the years where everything was just a
big school... I can't help, but remember the years of studies abroad...You see,
I was privileged to obtain my Bachelor's Degree in Connecticut. You know...in
America!
I Studied Developmental Psychology at Eastern
Connecticut State University and I've been a psychologist ever since!
I often find myself reminiscing about those college
years: how I spent endless hours workingand mastering special skills and studying HARDly !
I was given the opportunity to cherish some wonderful
new customs and experience the beauty of a... somewhat different
culture!
And how can one forget the beautiful snow experience I had at Vermont!!
or the volunteer work I did with kids... or being a
police dispatcher at the
University Campus Police?
ah... those were the years!
As far as my love life goes, for many years I
desperately tried to find a decent man... oops I really
meant to say:
I enjoyed the benefits of being single!!!
- Donkey! what are YOU
doing here?!
