This is the last Greece post! It’s the story from the past 7 months. Also see the other post on 13 reasons why I love Greece here
It was too cold in Bulgaria
I drove all night until I got to Greece. The guy at the border asked me where I was going. I didn’t know. I said “south”
and then to Athens
I spent days exploring every corner and alleyway on my bike. See post
I found this place called The Jedi Academy
I stayed for 6 weeks. There was music, fire, blankets, animals and amazing people. See post
These people
and Christian, who travels on his bike with a DIY fold up guitar
Meet him (and his guitar) here
We built a trapeze
And juggled fire
We did busking missions into the city
And food missions to the village
There was no electricity
just candles, instruments and people
but one night…
For a treat we got a PA system and powered it from my van using a big cable. We had a party
and there was that morning
and those winter sunsets
and that party in the squatted theatre
Then my family came to meet me
I cooked for us all in the van
We went to Santorini
and spent Christmas day on the beach
During this time, the blog was spreading fast
I was featured on several big websites–including the Guardian–which got me some money to keep me on the road a bit longer. See post
My family went back to England and I went back to the Jedi academy
but it was the end. We loaded the vans up and moved all the stuff
To a new location
I ended up staying for 2 months
and then I met Marti
She commented on the blog and I went to meet her in Athens. We drank a bottle of wine on the hill and talked about how they should teach dreaming at school. See post
So I spent 10 days in a flat in the middle of Athens
I used all the luxury home gadgets like the hair drier, kettle and a real bed. See post
She left her flat and job and we explored the Peloponnese
See the best bits in this post
We celebrated my one year living in a van
Marti went to Italy and I went north
But I didn’t know where
The next day I met with Sophie and Mike from Relaxedpace
Meet them in this post
Then I got a message from my friend
Yesss! See post. So I go to Macedonia
But one last stop: vikos gorge
And all during all of this…
I’ve been working on a project, which I’m pretty excited about. I will announce it soon 🙂
So it’s goodbye Greece
There were points I was just fully swept away in to the flow of things. I’ve never felt time going this fast before. It’s been 7 months in one country, but what a journey!
Thanks for having me
