Spyros Balesias

Blog Submissions Moderator

Spyros graduated from the Department of Foreign Languages, Translation and Interpreting of the Ionian University in 2016. He was born and raised in Preveza, Greece, but he prefers the upbeat environment of bigger cities. He is a translator of legal and financial texts and interested in content writing both professionally and for his own amusement. He speaks English, German, and he is making progress with Spanish. Last but not least, he enjoys translating, but tries not to make a big fuss about it!

Things he loves: translation (of course), writing and reading.

Things he hates: having many ideas, but so little time.
