The Beginning

When I told people that I was moving to Greece, the first thing most people suggested was that I start a blog. To be honest, I didn’t want do it. I haven't had a blog since before I started college, and I wasn't sure what I would write about. I didn't want to start a blog to tell people about my day to day routines and adventures, both because I didn’t think it would add value for anyone, and I wasn’t sure how interesting my life here would be.

The other day I went to a coffee shop to write in my journal, and instead I found myself writing a list of things that I have learned (or re-learned in a new way) since being here. This was my “aha” moment where I realized that I can write a blog, and it can focus on how my adventures have helped me grow as a person.

It’s been just over two months since I arrived in Mykonos, and while I have had a lot of time to relax and do nothing, I have also been constantly learning from the people around me. Immersing myself in a culture with people from extremely different backgrounds from my own has been incredible.

I look forward to sharing a few things I have learned along my journey!

(On a side note, Happy Birthday Dave!)
