Stories written by George Tzortzis
George Tzortzis is a neophyte freelancer living in Athens and writing about the human side of the Greek economic crisis. Previously, George lived in Washington, DC working as a spreadsheet jockey at the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy.

All he wants out of life is to be his own boss and not starve. Is that too much to ask?
