So this is it.
... what I am thinking. This is going to come to a surprise for most if not all of you. This Thursday, October 7th, I am leaving Paros and coming home. Again, I know this is a huge statement to absorb. The fact of the matter is that I am not happy ...

Paros Island - Greece
After two Ferries to Greece and three train rides to Athens Ferry Port, we still couldn't get to our destination...Mykonos. The only ferry available was Paros, so here we are. We were planning to come here anyway, so it's not a problem. Today we hired a ...

Paros and AntiParos
To another island today. We decided to bike around anti-paros for the day. Had a blast - barely saw anyone, and certainly not another tourist. Pretty great place, but I just remembered how much I hate biking. Regardless, we had a great time. ...
The little things
As awesome as it is to be over here and exploring new places and discovering new things, I have been a little homesick. It's just the little things that remind you of home. Peanut butter for instance. First off, peanut better here is OUTRAGEOUSLY priced ...
Down-time on a blustery Greek Island
It's definitely the shoulder-season here on tiny Paros, a rocky, wind-swept island south-east of Athens. Mom and I caught an early ferry on Tuesday morning and were thrilled to the point of giddiness when we got here. Neither of us noticed when, as ...
