Nicholas Papachrysostomou is an individual that stands out. Following his studies in Economics in Canada, he began a promising career with a multinational company in the financial sector of early 2000s Athens. However, he seemed to have other plans; or rather, he had no plan at all when he chose to challenge the predetermined course of his life, in order to pursue his dream: embark on a journey around the world for a full 7 years.
Upon completing his odyssey, Nicholas has joined Doctors Without Borders, and has carried out missions with the organization across the globe: from the Mediterranean Sea, Yemen and the Sudan, to Bangladesh and the Peruvian Amazon. At the end of 2023, Nicholas was among the first to enter Gaza as coordinator of the Doctors Without Borders’ emergency response team, while as of recent he has come back from his last mission in the West Bank.
