Hi All,

My name is Nikolaos (or simply Nick) and i have been into fountain pens for the past year and a half. It all started after my grandfather gave me his Parker 51, and MB 146 as a gift a couple of years ago. Once i started using them, i have stopped using any other type of writing instrument

I was born in Athens, Greece, and currently reside in the Netherlands where i work as a trader for industrial electronics for the past 5 years. I have spent about 3 years in USA, and a year in UK getting my MBA so i do like going around.

My main interests apart from fountain pens (of course) are sports, reading, writing (need to pick up on that more) and a bit of travelling when i have the time.

I really enjoy The Fountain Pen Network site and looking forward to sharing my experiences with you.

Take care
Nikolaos

Good to have another greek around here

Welcome to FPN, Nick!

I always knew there was something good in you NoSnow
Actually, Marina is also a Greek Cypriot.

Hello Nick, and welcome to FPN! Very cool that you got started on FPs by your grandfather. Hope to see you around the boards!

Welcome Nick!! Both you and i are new to this and to the FPN as well. I look forward to your posts

I am not sure, but isn't "Mamoulides" (as in Jim "Penhero" M.) also Greek?


Welcome to FPN, Nick!

Nice to have you on board. We have a few other FPNers who are from The Netherlands, including our Mad Dutchman, WimG!

I know what you mean when you say that it's hard to go back to using other writing instruments...Fountain pens are definitely less tiring to use than ballpoints or even rollerballs, I find. That, and the aesthetic aspects, too

Hello nikolaos and welcome to the Fountain Pen Nuthouse. I am sure that you will love it here and gain a lot of knowledge about pens, and maybe even attend a few pen shows when you have the time.

Welcome aboard and...

Happy New Year!!

Hi,
