Alexandra / Drug Addict
Alexandra, 39 years old today, was born in Bulgaria. After a failed marriage at a young age, he moved to Greece, where he eventually became involved in drugs. For the last 15 years, he has been living on the streets of downtown Athens, where he met for the first time on Friday morning. We shared a coffee to break the ice and after wandering around the center for a while he agreed to talk to me.
