Sofia Gkiousou

Sofia has spent all of her 26 years trying to figure out what she wants to do with her life. Needless to say, she is still undecided. As a result, she divides her time between work, studying, writing, jamming with friends and reading big bulky books. Born and raised in Greece she now lives in London carrying with her a long tradition of Greek cooking, gossiping and nagging. She writes mainly on popular culture but to her annoyance that regularly coincides with politics and pop music.
