You’re Never Really Dead Until You’re Forgotten

I had a friend who passed away a few year back and you know they say you’re not really dead until you’re forgotten. Well every time I would travel I made it a point to wear a California shirt just to represent. Well on my very first trip to Greece in 2016, as I was…

Cellifornia World Tour 1: Epilogue

That’s it… I did it. I finally made it to one of the places I’ve always wanted to visit, and I did it alone. I made great friends (I still speak to some to this day), I learned all about Greece but maybe even more about Australia, and most of all I made some of…

You Know I Had To Peacock

After that cold Paris Night I made it to the airport and since my flight was a good wait, I put my headphones in, and I broke out the dance moves (Dab Dab Folk Folk Yahhhh!). Yo people thought I was a professional American dancer haha. And just when my head couldn’t get any bigger,…

“You Know Why We Named The Song ‘Ni**as In Paris’? Cus Ni**as Was Really In Paris!” – Kanye

18 hours in Paris, of course I’m going to the Eiffel! I landed about 9 pm and caught the last bus there from the airport. I don’t speak any French so I’m lowkey lost and can’t ask for directions haha, trust the process though. I make it to Eiffel and no lie it was like…

It’s Been Good, It’s Been Great, It’s Been Greece…

Man a year and a half later and I still haven’t had moments better than these. Group Travel was a good way to get my foot in the door, maybe on day I can be one of those legit backpackers, until then, a layover in Paris, France.

I Love My Android “Yeah Because You Can Do Cool Things Like Air Drop Photos With Your Friends”

A nine hour ferry ride from Santorini back to Athens, and I gotta say, I liked it. Take a nap, walk around, enjoy the breeze. But really we spent most of the time exchanging photos, and airdrop was a blessing! Easy exchange when you don’t have data! Android got all those features but what good…

Santorini Stumbling

For the last night you know we had to go out! Look ya boi bought some vodka in a water bottle to dinner so you know I was bouta be on! We hit the club, I was supposed to go skinny dippin’ back at the hotel but the guard was hatin’ at the pool, I…

Yeah, This So Beats Binge Watching Netflix

Farewell Dinner: Bittersweet Goodbyes

Here we are at the grand finale already. A balcony dinner over a sun kissed Mediterranean sea in a city painted warm by the falling sun. That bitter sweet vibe was in the air because we all felt something good coming to an end. Good thing it wasn’t over yet. This was the last time…

Souvlaki: The Signature Dish Of Greece

So after that solo ride I hopped back on the quad to link back up with the squad down at the black beach. And well for lunch, of course I was gettin’ souvlaki! Okay so these souvlaki shops are everywhere like a Mcdonald’s (Mackers) in America, except, they’re actually really good. For 2 euro fresh…

Whole Squad Got Quads (No Uber Necessary)

For 25 Euro a day you can rent (hire) yourself a quad, and trust me when I say it’s the best way to get around Santorini. I mean quad biking through the Santorini streets (while listening to Drake’s “For Free”) is for sure a highlight its self for me. Winding twists and turns scaling the…

I Named My Donkey Kya

After that volcanic excursion, walking was out the picture, donkey me back! Aye these donkeys were really on auto pilot. You just sit and they take you all the way back up the mountain, no steering required! You gotta keep your voice down or they freeze up but other than that, a solid mode of…

You Ever Hike Up A Volcano?

Hike up a volcano, well that’s a good way to go out. But before I get to this volcano just know we had a boat voyage to get there and Grey UK strikes again. I look back and homie is sailing the ship! Like why didn’t I think if that. And I really thought I…

A Santorini Sunset: What We All Came For

When I think of Greece, this is the place that come to mind. This may be the most beautiful place I’ve ever seen in my life. The villas on the cliffs, the ships in the open sea anchored for the view, the way the sun painted the the white houses to a warm sunset orange,…

One Of My Favorite Photos

I venture off alone some times and as I was just walking enjoy the beach and the atmosphere, I just stopped and listened to music for a while. I did some people watching too, even had a brief conversation with the few Greek words I had been learning. As I am heading back to the…

The Quiet Side Of Greece

Seeing the quiet not as touristy side of Greece felt authentic. Seeing the local populous lay out fresh Octopus, seeing them paint their houses the iconic blue and white, or these ladies painting by the docks. It all just felt calming. Some sightseeing with a Greek lunch made for a good evening. I wish I…

Peace After The Party

Ahhh Mykonos was a good time but to relax and take in the peaceful sunset was equally satisfying. Themis (our tour guide) said we would all enjoy taking it easy here, and to my surprise, I loved it here. Food, Flowers, and Photoshoots. Chillin at the local hukah bar relaxing and retelling recent events, I…

If I Drink Booze On A Ferry, Is It A Booze Cruise?

A hidden gem  in the travels… the transit. Now I know a few posts ago I was complaining, but this was different than a 10 hour plane ride. I mean drinks and nice views on the Mediterranean whilst practicing your new accent with your new mates haha, its a good time!
