Yassas!
While the world around me is going crazy I decided to spread
a bit more love about one place I recently discovered. Yes yes, I fall in love
with places as often as the seasons change, so what?
For more than a month I have been exploring Crete. First, on
a deeper level volunteering at the dog shelter and contributing towards better
life for some. Then, with my backpack around. With some spice of romance 😊
I am often say how privileged, how lucky I am to lead such
wonderful, colourful life like I have now. But I also give myself some credit
too for courage and spontaneity.
I often heard from travellers and locals that Crete island
is like Texas of Greece. And my only stereotype I had was all inclusive tourism
paradise which never charmed me before.
Lucky or not I got to see Crete without masses of tourists,
you know, the type who don’t want to explore local culture but sit by the
swimming pool and watch their smartphones. I understand, everybody has their
way of travelling, but let’s just say it’s not my cup of tea.
Stunning high mountains in the middle and beautiful crystal
clear waters around the coast plus some epic rocks for climbing. Can it get
better? Yes! Without any guilt I finally could buy a local avocado or banana or
even guava. My plate had everything fresh, everything grown on this beautiful
island. My eyes have been always filled with landscapes that I adored. My skin
was happy and it felt like summer will never end.
And over the sea I could feel the African winds caressing my
skin. What a gem, what an island!
But summer always ends for me at some point. This time Covid madness measures got me also. I had to quickly escape this paradise and make a
decision for my next move. The lockdown in Greece came fast and unexpected. But
for this topic, read my next blog post. I have few words on this topic.
Right now, I keep reminding myself, just come back to the breath, stay present, share good vibes, inspire. The world is turning
completely upside down but it can never affect the deep souls that we have
inside. Stay true to your inner beauty and let nobody touch it!
Till soon my friends,
