Studying Abroad in Athens

My job is to make sure that you spend your semester in Athens knowing you have someone there you can trust. 

​

While studying abroad, your primary concern is your safety and well-being. In Greece, this includes your physical and mental health, understanding the cultural norms of Greece, and knowing the ins and outs of your neighborhood. After your safety is ensured, then it's time to study, have fun, and explore one of the greatest countries in the world.

 

In addition to studying abroad in Athens during both my undergraduate and graduate careers, I have been living in Athens for several years. My knowledge and experience regarding all-things-Greece will to guide you through an adventurous, safe time abroad.

​

First, let's ensure that you feel safe about your upcoming trip. We will connect via video call for any questions or concerns you may have. I will provide you with all the information you need to succeed in your study abroad journey.

​

Next, when you arrive to Athens, I will arrange for a tour within your first couple of weeks. After showing you the ins and outs of your neighborhood, I will take you downtown with the Athens metro, showing you the essential public transportation system of Athens. Of course, I will give you the taxi apps of Greece, and all other travel, healthcare, experience, shopping, and lifestyle information you could possibly need.

 

Last, via text or email, you can reach out to me at any time during your semester: Looking for recommendations for your weekend in Santorini? Going for dinner in a new neighborhood and unsure if you should be walking there? Wondering about the tourist traps in Mykonos? Unsure of how to access the ferries in Piraeus? Nervous for a night out downtown with locals and wanting some reassurance and tips? â€‹Just send me a message, and within 24 hours I will give you all the information you need.
