Off to Greece 🇬🇷

My 3 months sabbatical is underway and I am so excited!

Here's what's planned so far:

3 weeks in Greece:
I'll be heading to Ikaria, a beautiful island in the North Aegean, to visit my godmother. I know the name of the village she lives in and met her last when I was a child, so it should be an adventure finding her.

Since my brother is planning to arrive 4 days before we're meeting the rest of my family on Naxos, we talked about visiting an island called Milos together - it's supposedly an island with a good night life. Though who knows where the winds (or tides) will take us in the end.

Of course I've got to test my new dive gear in Greece, too, and most likely there will be some more water sports going on.

2 months in South America:
After Greece I'll be back in Berlin for a few days from where I'll catch a flight to Santa Cruz in Bolivia. The capital of Bolivia, La Paz is located at an altitude of 3600 meters which makes it a tough starting point. That's why we'll take a lower approach to ease into the country's significant heights.

Anita will arrive one day after me and we've got a rough plan for the next 4 weeks.
After 15 (or is it 16?) years of friendship, this is our first backpacking trip together and I can't wait to explore this beautiful part of the world together.

It gets more blurry from here. We'll be crossing the border to Peru at some point and then I'll be heading to Colombia to spend the next 3/4 weeks exploring this country.

Keeping you posted :)Read more
