Europe Trip Leader
Dimitra Panagiotopoulou
Dimitra Panagiotopoulou's love of adventure was sparked in childhood as she followed her father and grandfather on hunting expeditions into the Greek woods. After completing her education, she worked as a sales manager at a big company for over a dozen years, but memories of youth and a love of nature motivated her to leave the corporate lifestyle and change her career. As a Trip Leader, she's found her niche. “I have a job I love that allows me to share my knowledge and experiences of nature and history with people from different cultures. It makes me feel alive.” Dimitra enjoys music (especially rock!) and a good book. She has a daughter and son and spends her free time knitting clothes for kids and adults.
