BPP: Who are you?  And who you really are?

Urania Gazelli: "I'm just a girl who is looking for love, real love, ridiculous, inconvenient, consuming, can't-live-without-each-other love"
Yes, this is exactly who I am. BUT I'm also a girl trying to become a woman, a business woman, fighting evey day to this non color world to achieve my goals, to make true the dreams I have at night!
I am a girl who is screaming to others not to give up! Trying to remember to others what is Greece and what Greeks are capable of!
I'm just a girl who is looking for hope, for love, for colors, for life!! Because you can't live without these!!!









BPP: If you could say something important to others who were listening, what would you tell them?

Urania Gazelli: Very common but So true and important... Never stop dreaming. It costs nothing but it can bring you everything, as long as you start doing your dreams real. You will feel alive and ready to conquer the world!!





BPP: What is your true dream, the one that keeps you up at night and if one day it were to come true you would feel peace and calmness in your heart?

Urania Gazelli: Hmm.. True Big dream.. my friends say that I'm a dreamer.. I would like to see this small little seed that I've "planted" one year ago to grow and become a huge healthy "tree". This day will be very long, I can feel it.. Maybe years might pass for this day to come! But I have faith and I believe that this dream will come true and when I will be old enough I might get some peace and calmness in my heart, most probably surrounded by my grandchildrens!







BPP: How is life currently for the people in your country and what would you wish for them and for the planet at large?

Urania Gazelli: As time goes by the problem is getting bigger and bigger. You can feel it in your everyday life. We are leaving in a grey world although our country is blessed with all the sun we have, but that is not enough for the people, for us. We are a generation where we've learned to have everything! Good life, good house, great car, amazing work, good money-a lot of money-!! And now all these gradually are taking away from us. It's a very hard and diificult time for our country and it will take years for our country to recover from this crisis that we are leaving.

I wish for my country and for all of us to find strength above all to overcome all the obstacles that will come because now it's the beginning of all of it. It's easy to say but hard to do so, but as I mentioned before Greece is a great country with a history like no other and we know from history what Greeks are capable of and that in very difficult times we've made it. So, let's be supportive with each other and help each other. Let's start sharing ideas and work together with strategy and passion. Only with this way we will find our way!

Worldwide we have to be like that. People have to remember how to respect, love and share with each other. They have to do the same with nature and with animals. We have to stop looking at ourselves.. We have to become an unbroken chain, hold each others hands and not let go. one word is my wish L.O.V.E.






BPP: If you had a chance to be a child again would you choose the same life?

Urania Gazelli: Yes, I would live my present life again. I would love to fix all the "mistakes", but if I did change even one thing, then I would not be the person that I am today. I love my mistakes and I have no regrets for anything because they are part of my life.







BPP:  What was the exact moment that you realized what you wanted to do with your life?  How did you feel at this very moment?

Urania Gazelli: The moment where I was standing out of a huge building in Paris and in rue Cambon and realizing that THIS IS IT!!! I am alone in a foreing country, without knowing anyone and I'm carrying all these heavy boxes and waiting in the rain for a couple of hours, for a huge iron door to open and enter to an unknown world to me but a world which was going to be mine!!! So scared but so happy!! So confident, so powerful, I was feeling like I wanted to take over all the world! Like all the world was mine!!!
Till that moment I wasn't aware what I was doing exactly or what I really wanted to do with my life, because all these years I was under a transparent protective cover, my family! There I realized that my dream and all the hard work I did, were becoming true! There it was me and myself...and it was the best moment of my life!!!!








BPP: Would you like to tell us something we didn’t ask until now?

Urania Gazelli: What I wanted to be when I grew up: a farmer :)
