29 Days of Greece
Whenever I’m in Greece, I feel… lighter. It’s easy to chalk it up to the sunny weather, good food, and direct access to the sea, but I’m convinced there’s more to it than a vitamin D overdose. It’s hard to explain. To try and capture this feeling, I decided to post a daily photo/video series…

Athens: Ahead of Its Time
To start, many of the stereotypes are true: Greek people are warm and welcoming, and the food is outstanding. No word on the whole Windex thing, however. What makes Athens so unique is that few cities offer such a contrast between the old and new. And by old, I mean ancient. Peppered throughout the modern…

Isla Holbox: Caribbean Calm
The ‘secret’ is out. Once known for embodying chill beach life and visited only by backpackers and hippies, more and more people are now visiting Isla Holbox. And even though it’s now far from being a hidden gem, the mellow vibe on the island makes it a gem nonetheless. Most of the roads are still…

Bacalar: Not “The Maldives of Mexico”
Everything these days is ‘The Maldives of [insert country here]”. El Nido? “The Maldives of the Philippines”. Random island somewhere? “The Maldives of Random Somewhere”.
