business and travelling inside out | Georgios Kariofyllis | TEDxLesvos

Can a stubborn personality lead towards fulfilment of a child's dream? All of that, together with lots of travelling and building business ideas. Born in Athens and raised in Mytilene. After finishing school in the city of Mytilene and completing the School of Mediterranean Studies in Rhodes, George Kariofyllis wanted to pursue something more meaningful. So he returned to his ancestral lands, in Lepetimnos, in the northern part of the island to plan his future. This is how Aronia went about his life next to a farm where his hobby became a profession. Today and after four years he sees the fruits of the success of his choice, but also of the super fruit that earns daily points in both pharmacology and selective gastronomy. At the same time over an area of six acres, he breeds various species of animals from deer, wild sheep, pony to royal pheasants, which among goats, dogs, cats and other productive animals have found a harmony of coexistence and are a modern learning tool for all ages who often visit the farm with their school. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at
