Meet the founder, Niki!

Niki hails from Thessaloniki, Greece, with roots tracing back to Pontus, Asia Minor, and Macedonia. She currently resides in Cyprus. From a young age, she was immersed in culture, history, and art, studying piano, music theory and voice. She also learned Pontic dances at a private cultural center, participated in traditional dance groups at school, studied Italian and English and took part in Comenius programs.

During university, Niki participated in several Erasmus exchange programs in European countries, which exposed her to diverse cultures and facilitated her collaboration with people from different backgrounds. In 2021 she volunteered in Cyprus for five months through Erasmus and recently completed the Erasmus for Young Entrepreneurs program in Tuscany, Italy.

Through these experiences, Niki developed a passion for entrepreneurship. Her volunteer work in Cyprus ignited her desire to contribute to promoting Cypriot culture and history, as well as the cultures of other countries.
