Monologue

D: Γεια σας! Με λένε Δανάη και είμαι 29 χρονών. Γεννήθηκα και μεγάλωσα στην Ελλάδα και συγκεκριμένα στη Θεσσαλονίκη. Έχω μία αδερφή ένα χρόνο μεγαλύτερη και σπούδασα τουριστικές επιχειρήσεις, πλέον όμως είμαι δασκάλα γιόγκας και ελληνικών. Είμαι παντρεμένη και τον άντρα μου τον λένε Διονύση. Τα τελευταία 2 χρόνια μένουμε στο Σικάγο και πριν από ένα χρόνο υιοθετήσαμε την σκυλίτσα μας, τη Νάλου. Είναι μικρόσωμη και πολύ παιχνιδιάρα. Δεν της αρέσει το κρύο που έχει εδώ αλλά ούτε κι εμάς.

Translation:

Hello! My name is Danai and I am 29 years old. I was born and raised in Greece, specifically in Thessaloniki. I have a sister one year older and I studied tourism business but now I am a yoga and Greek teacher. I am married and my husband's name is Dionysis. We have been living in Chicago for the past 2 years and a year ago we adopted our dog, Nalu. She is petite and very playful. She doesn't like the cold here and neither do we.
