Like with my 2012 Eurotrip, I took a bit of video–like a series of short panoramic videos–while on holiday in Greece last September. So, instead of leaving them to sit on my computer desktop, I’ve compiled them into a short 3 minute Greek Myth trip 2014 video. Enjoy!

photo diary: the greek islands
Read morethe cyclades, greece If you ever decide to go visit Greece, I definitely suggest hitting up at least one or two of the Greek islands. There are a ton of islands, but on my trip I only visited five of them in the Cyclades. They are such great way to get away from the loud, busy streets of Athens. You can spend all day lying on the beautiful, windy beaches then…

photo diary: athens
Read moreathens, greece I loved and hated Athens. I know that sounds a little extreme, but it’s true. The moment I got out of the metro station onto Monastiraki Square and walked the few paces to my hostel, I was a bit disgusted by all the random tag graffiti all over the city’s building walls. I suppose it was a sign of the times, but it was very off putting at first.…

photo diary: istanbul
Read moreistanbul, turkey I know I wanted to blog while I was traveling. Honestly, I had fully intended on doing so, but I just got so caught up with simply enjoying my trip that I just forgot. For the majority of my trip I had very poor WiFi service, if any at all, and I kind of liked that. I liked that I didn’t have the distraction of constantly being online…

hello istanbul!
Read moreistanbul, turkey After traveling for about 12+ hours straight with a stopover in Munich, I finally made it to Istanbul, Turkey. It didn’t hit me how completely and utterly terrified I am to be here all by myself until I left the sanctuary of the airport. They drive from the airport to my hotel was fine. The travel rep that picked me up was nice and the drive was smooth.…

packing for my 3 week trip abroad
Read moreI leave for my Greece + Turkey trip in four days! I still can’t believe it’s finally the time. I’m not really prepared. This summer has been my busiest summer ever and I really didn’t have the luxury to constantly think about my trip like I normally am used to. I finally don’t have to work after today, so now I can really start preparing myself for my trip. The…

10 things to take on a backpacking trip
Read moreSo, lately I’ve been consumed with my summer backpacking trip to Turkey and Greece that I’m planning for this upcoming September. Yeah, I know September isn’t really summer, but I initially was planning to go in June until I saw that flight prices were much cheaper for September. So I caved. Plus, the weather in the places I’ll be heading will still be decent to soak up the sun and hit…

trips and friends
Read moreJust a little video I made yesterday. I was very bored and I was going to delete these videos from my computer after saving them to my external hard drive. But I remembered that I had wanted to see if I could put them together into a cute little video. I think when I first got back home from this trip, I started, but it was so time consuming that…

citylove: barcelona, spain
Read morebarcelona, spain I was thinking about Barcelona recently and realized I hadn’t written about my time there yet! It was fantastic and one of the best decisions my friend John and I made on our Eurotrip. We were initially going to go to Barcelona for about three days then go to Madrid and stay there for about four or five days, but something in me decided to do a bit…

2013 medieval festival at fort tryon park
Read moreYesterday, I went to the annual Medieval Festival at Fort Tryon Park. It’s held every year and I’ve been going to it since I was six. I missed it last year due to my dad’s passing, so I was even more determined to attend this year. My sixteen-year streak was slightly interrupted and I remember being so disappointed I had missed it last year that I needed to keep the…

on going outside
Read morenew york, new york I spent the day yesterday at Central Park with my friend Andy. Brought my camera along because I’ve been doing that lately, so I can actually get myself around to using it, even if I have to stop every-so-often to take a picture of something that I think looks interesting. I took a few yesterday, but only liked a small handful of them (one being a…
