WHO AM I?
Hi, I am Georgia! I am forever searching for the world’s best beaches, ski resorts, tropical locations and historical cities.
In this blog, you will find me relaxing on a sandy beach in the Caribbean, snorkelling in Indonesia or exploring the sights in Mexico. Dog sledding in Canada, skiing the Alps or having a coffee in Hanoi…
For the last decade and counting, I have been a busy Londoner who aims to explore the entire world but I am, forever, a beach loving Greek who goes back home as often as possible.
So, if I hope to achieve anything with this blog, it is to inspire you to experience the beauty and uniqueness of summertime in Greece!
WHAT AM I UP TO?
Swimming and skiing in the world’s best locations. Learning local history and connecting through authentic cultural experiences. Photographing awe-inspiring architecture.
I love staying in eco-lodges, historic houses, boutique hotels with great location, good value and, hopefully, an interesting design and a sense of locality…
More importantly, I try to tread lightly on our precious planet.
WHO PAYS ME FOR MY TRAVELS?
No one! I travel with my husband and we pay for everything ourselves.
There are no sponsored trips or free hotel stays, so the opinions expressed on this blog are honest and truly my own. We both have full time jobs that pay for our travels and wish to grow this blog through your support.
So, thank you for reading this blog and please share with your friends!
