Ioannis Valindras, B.S.

Originally from Greece, I moved to the United States in August 2014. Taking the challenge of moving away from home to study had its own difficulties, but it has been beneficial. 

Space exploration, planets, spacecraft, and airplanes have always been fascinating for me. No surprise I study aerospace engineering. I hope to enter the aerospace industry and am currently conducting research for a professor in the Aerospace department.

​

I love traveling. Whenever I have free time (and spare money), I take the chance to visit a place I have never been before. I love exploring new places, meeting the local people, and coming in touch with new societies, ways of living, and cultures. 

I also enjoy sailing. Usually during the summer I go sailing with my family, in Greece. I love the physical activity that comes with it, as well as the fact that it usually helps me relax and forget about my daily routine.

Another great passion of mine is soccer. My favorite team is Olympiacos and I follow every single game they play, whether they play in the Greek Superleague or in Europe.

 

Additionally, I am interested in politics, and that interest of mine urged me to participate in a few Model United Nations conferences, as well as several European Parliament conferences around Europe.
