“Κατάλαβα ότι πρέπει να αγαπήσω εμένα και την ασθένεια μου, να την αγκαλιάσω…… γιατί είναι κομμάτι μου, είναι ‘εγώ’ πλέον.”
**This TEDxNicosiaSalon talk is in Greek**
Melpo Pittara is a biomedical engineer by profession yet she is best known as an analog girl at heart, living in a digital world. With an intriguing Instagram handle, “I can see your pixels”, Melpo takes the TEDxNicosiaSalon stage and narrates her journey to the audience. A journey of awakening, which in her case was an odd 4 digit unusual code – LZTR1 – that is present in her DNA. MELPO PITTARA is a biomedical engineer by profession yet she is best known as an analog girl at heart, living in a digital world.
An extreme sports aficionado, she gets a generous dose of adrenaline rush surfing salty shorelines and beyond. Melpo combines her travels with her passion for sports, and delightful food experiences. Her adventures vary from snorkeling with Hawaiian turtles, to hiking in the Wicklow mountains in Ireland, and sipping Korean high tea following yet another lifetime trekking experience on the Seonghsan Ilchulbong tip, a volcanic formation also known as the Sunrise Peak in the Korean Jeju island.
Some of Melpo’s greatest joys are socializing and meeting new people. ‘People are made up of countless pixels, just like pictures,’ she says ‘and I find it fascinating exploring those pixels.’ This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
