About Me

I believe in dreaming big and working hard: bright eyes, brave hearts and a touch of perfectionism drive the world.

As somebody who at the age of 19 launched and headed an educational non-profit organisation which now gathers over 100 students, I'm convinced that limits exist only in our heads. We, humans, are invincible. Over the last two years, I have been travelling the world (I've lived in 4 countries) and passionately advocating for causes close to my heart as part of global non-profit organisations. Things change with the speed of the light, but my passion for writing has stood the test of time. 

Writing has been my passion since early childhood. I published my first article in a local newspaper at the age of 13. Words are powerful. Words are impactful. One of my articles was shared over 16000 times and was translated into 10 languages. The scope of my interests ranges from international trade to stoicism and the study of emotional intelligence. I think that everything in the world is interconnected and enjoy building connections between seemingly incompatible issue areas. Let's prove those who don't believe we can wrong!

Safeguarding IP rights is key to defeating COVID-19

COVID-19 has exposed our unpreparedness for a crisis of global scope. As much as globalisation is partly to blame for the virus’ speedy expansion, it is also thanks to the interconnectedness of our world that we have been able to preserve international trade – despite a bundle of constraints and cries for protectionism – during these tough times. In particular, that has to do with exports of essential medical devices such as masks, ventilators, personal protective equipment.

Consumer Choice Center blasts potential Russian plan to force Apple to cut App Store commissions —

Maria Chaplia, European Affairs associate at the Consumer Choice Center, added this statement: What makes the proposed law even more shocking is the suggested obligation to collect part of Apple’s revenue to fund IT training. It is not the role of the Russian government to pick winners and losers. The IT sector is, of course, important, but putting these specialists on the pedestal while turning a blind eye to millions of Apple fans in Russia is shortsighted.

Ο Δρανδάκης, η Beat και η ειρηνική επανάσταση στην καθημερινότητα – sofokleous10.gr

The Sharing Economy Index I authored was mentioned here: Σο Δείκτη της Οικονομίας Διαμοιρασμού που δημιούργησε το Consumer Choice Center, η Αθήνα κατατάσσεται τελευταία μεταξύ των 48 μεγάλων πόλεων του κόσμου που είναι φιλικές προς την υιοθέτηση εφαρμογών της λεγόμενης «οικονομίας διαμοιρασμού». Αυτό είναι το αποτέλεσμα του αναχρονιστικού θεσμικού πλαισίου που η σημερινή Κυβέρνηση καλείται να διορθώσει, διότι ουσία εξελίσσεται σε ανάχωμα για περαιτέρω τεχνολογική ανάπτυξη σε μια εποχή που το εγχώριο οικοσύστημα των startups δείχνει να ανθίζει.

Argentina’s telecom price controls are economic masochism

BUENOS AIRES, Argentina – Last week, in a bid to ensure unrestricted access for everyone to telecommunication services, the Argentinian government decided to extend a price freeze for TV, internet and mobile services until the end of the year, deeming them “essential public services”.

Scrapping Public Health England should only be the beginning

Scrapping Public Health England, a body with the ambition of nannying every Brit, is a significant step towards enhancing personal responsibility and allowing greater freedom. But there’s much further to go. The UK government should drastically change its approach to healthcare and lifestyle regulations to create an enduring change. With 320,000 confirmed cases of Covid-19 across the country and close to 41,000 dead, there is an urgent need to find a scapegoat.
