I'm watching from Australia me and my family are planning to visit greece next year in September I'm actually a greek Australian my yaya and poppoo moved from greece to Australia when they were younger and I can't till we go next year I'm really excited to learn about my culture I'm not very fluent in speaking greek so I'm trying to learn as much as I can about the language and culture before we visit
Hey Dan, so many people everywhere fail their business. the fact that you have moved on since then, and that you are here posting vlogs just shows that you are extremely a resilient person. Give yourself a big pat on your shoulder, bro. I turn on your video while working, like a podcast. In fact, I definitely feel you should make a podcast of your Greek Life journey. Thank you for sharing with us your story. Cheers.
I like the fact that in Greek culture elderly people and children and respected and part of the festivities and daily life, everyone is important in Greek culture.
Some thoughts about language. I'm Serbian and I live in Germany. I speak Serbian fluently and since I was born in Germany and live here all my life I speak German perfectly. No one ever says wow you speak German very well although you're not German. Cause they can't tell I'm not. But I know people who came to Germany some years ago and they are learning German constantly and getting better every day. But still they have foreign accent. What I'm trying to say I'm always impressed when I meet people and I can hear that German is not their native language but still they are using some not every day words so I can see they are putting effort in learning a language. So I think it can also be seen as an advantage if you speak Greek almost perfectly but a Greek person still hear your accent. They see you're a foreigner but have learned it so well. At least I would really respect that. I don't know. Maybe only a person who has been learning a foreign language can understand what I mean. At the moment I'm learning Greek and I'm really looking forward one day to speak with Greek people when I visit Greece. Thanks for your videos. I like them a lot.
Great video my friend nice work ! i am a greek who came to montreal canada and i had to learn french ok english i speak like i do greek as a greek canadian but i agree its the most difficult think to do and i had to go to a school a french school, its hard for work if you dont speak french aswell anyways thats way i like your videos i can related thanks ones again take care and be safe, Την αγάπη μου σε όλους!!
Came across your channel while researching for my first trip to Greece which I just returned home from. Interesting to here your perspectives on and experiences living in Greece as a non native. I'm watching the video from 🇨🇦
You story resonates with me, I I'm from iceland, lived for 9 years in Berlin, now tomorrow, I'm moving over to Athens, Greece with my greek wife and 1 year old baby girl. At 35 years old as you did 14 years ago. I see myself in 14 years walking with greying beard making youtube videos giving the same advices :)
Good morning Daniel .Omg how much i understand you .When i was ten years old my parents got divorced and i saw my father after thirty years .What a hard feeling !!!! Do not be so hard to yourself all of us have difficulties in our lives.
If all foreign people living in Greece felt like you Daniel, then Greece would be indeed a fortunate country indeed, don't be too hard on yourself my friend.
What you speak of is simply life, as it happens from choices we make. We can’t be everywhere for everyone but we must be in the present for ourselves. As the human in us, we go off the happiness path with thoughts and regrets and resentments of the past. Let go of the past…it is forever gone. No regrets. I find that connecting with loved ones via apps online, I.e. face time, helps tremendously. Be well…you’re doing great 😊
Kalimera Daniel, I was born in France from Italians parents, I learnt english at school and I understand also some spanish but as you, I want to settle in Greece, so I will commit myself to learn Greek language and work online also I began BTC mining & trading and I'll will produce youtube content. My aim is to settle in Creta, I appreciate your channel, experience and point of view about your way of life as a new Greek integrated citizen.
I want to ask you something about the language. Before coming to Greece (or actually meeting your wife), did you know how many everyday words in Latin (English and Spanish) are Greek? Did this surprise you?
Daniel: You "seem" so hard on yourself. Only an observation, however, I get an impression the need be perfect at whatever it is you do or whatever action you take. Did you grow up in an environment where striving to be the best and to be perfect at what you did was reinforced upon you all the time? It's good to want to develop yourself, to challenge oneself; a certain amount of competition is healthy because as humans the need to learn and develop further and to move forward is invaluable, but do it in a way that it doesn't cause you stress and drain you. We're born and we die ... what you do in between and how you do it is up to you, but try to do it in a way where you can feel positive and good about what you do, above all, do it selflessly and above all, please try to remain humble. The more pressure you put on yourself to do something the less you will enjoy something, regardless what it is you are doing. Doesn't pay to stress out, it doesn't change the situation at hand. At times you need to go with the flow, and let the chips fall as they may. That doesn't mean you don't ever take action, but for you to stress over things - no, it doesn't help you one bit, it doesn't get you anywhere. You're a smart guy Daniel, be proud of who you are and all that you have accomplished thus far and know that things do fall into place. Please try to ease up on yourself, don't carry all that weight of the world on your shoulders. BREATHE Daniel, BREATHE!
Another great video! You brought up some great points and are absolutely correct on all of them! Thank you for the great scenery in the background too! Kalh synexeia.
Elefsina was probably a commuter town to Athens full of stress hectic etc. While Nafpilio is far enough away. Accommodation cheaper environment more relaxed and good accesd to beaches without too many tourists. So a good community spirit. Have relatives there but a bit too much Drama for my lifestyle. Enjoy wish I had prepared or knew where trip wires were. Efcharisto para kalo ! Mil Gracias !
Do you have a video where you talk about the cost of living and perhaps what it’s like living among Greeks? I looked through your videos but not seeing a title that sounds right. My husband is Greek and I’ve often wondered what it would be like living in Greece.
I have really enjoyed your content Daniel, thanks for sharing your life in Greece with us. Having had a number of Greek friends over the years, especially from high school, I was exposed to a number of aspects of Greek culture and even language. My Greek friends would sometimes take me to venues called tavernas, where they served food and alcohol. Much of the time these places would also have a Greek band, with bouzoukis, etc. What would the difference be between a Kafeneio and a taverna in Greece. Also, is a Kafeneio very similar to a cafe in French culture? Yiamas.

Harry from NY (downstate, not NYC) here. Daniel, how much does it cost on average to purchase a 2-bdrm house with water view in Nafplio?
@@vtecharrys.6981 for a brand new apartment it would probably be around 250000-300000 euros.

Well said and indeed the quality of life in Greece is away from the big cities. You did the right thing.
