About

Leventeia is a greek term which means “high spirits, humor, quickness of mind and action, charm, generosity, the love of living dangerously and readiness for anything...”

Patrick Leigh Fermor, a writer, traveller, linguist, wandering tramp, war hero and perennial man of the hour “had leventeia in spades“. And in an effort to live as wonderfully and help others to do so as well, this website exists and makes attempts.

A well-written obituary of Paddy can be found here, also the source of the definition above.

So take a look around, see if anything inspires or helps you. And if not, take a look at the books of Patrick Leigh Fermor, you will not be disappointed. At the very least, you learned a great word that means a great many things.
