Greece 2025
In September 2024, I visited Greece for the first time and it stole my heart! Its food, culture, vibrant streets, incredible scenery, and beautiful beaches made it a special place I want to return to every year. Greece is truly magical, and I want to share this experience with you. I specifically chose the island of Crete as we get to experience the best of everything Greece has to offer.
