That was fantastic. I have fond memories of Mykonos in 1979 when I did a Contiki camping trip from London to Turkey! To be able to sail there must be so majestic ⛵️.
It's official, your video's have the best overall production value of all the sailing channels I watch!!! & I watch a lot!! Like a lot! Ha! Thanx for the share.
there are so many wonderful videos out there I don't know how this one rates better in production value ... hell I don't even know what you mean by production value;)
Great video! You have heritage from Syros… I’ve been there many times. I have many relatives that live there and I never seem to be able to see them all when I go. Going back soon to enjoy the beaches and Ermoupolis. You should see slip & slide of the tyres when it rains on those marble streets!
I doubt I will ever get to see Grece, but through your video, I can tell it is a romantic & MAGICAL kind of place surrounded by all kinds of hue's of blue ! So thanks for sharing your video's with all of us !!!
Thank you Robbo. Every island has truly been a dream. 🥹 Syros was extra special because of the family connection, when Mum told me about my Great Grandma, I had goosebumps! I just wish I had more time to explore the town. Oh well, there's always next time (I hope)! I've learnt my lesson, NO applying for job opportunities while travelling next time 😅 !!! Hope you're having a great weekend x
Your right about day hopping over there being just so good. We spent two years sailing the Med and spent only a handful of nights underway. It's fantastic. Cheers!
Thank you Kenneth for your beautiful comment and contribution. Really appreciate your kind words .. it truly is such a beautiful place to explore and sail. We can't wait to get back one day! xx
Wow on board a ship on Mykonos is just amazing! Thanks for sharing this, you're amazing! Now checking your other vlogs. Happy to hear so much info to know before traveling to Greece. I always think that travels are made easier when you have the best travel gears and essentials too. The bento bag from Nomad Lane is my best carry-on bag for travels like this. Thought I'd share it with you guys too!
ohhhhhhhhhh my beatifull island!!! very strange to see friends and shops from my little island thanks for the nice video..to be honest was much more to see there
Wow! That’s amazing. Thank you for watching and I hope you enjoyed seeing your hometown. I wish we had more time here!! Would have loved to see more! Next time 🙏🙏
Cheers Matt! I know, I kept you guys hanging, didn't I! Thanks for joining us :) One more Greece video to go and then we're taking you back to Aus!! Yay! But don't tell anyone, it's a surprise! haha 🤫
Thanks for another great video kristina! Love vicariously sailing around Greece with you and John! Shame you didn't get the job but definitely their loss :-)!
Cheers Tom. Yeh, was a bit of a drag, but hey, it is what it is! ❤ It's been nice to focus on editing and putting out more videos more frequently - so thanks for the support legend!
Glad you’re enjoying your Greek adventure, I’ve been skippering charter yachts in Greece for over 20 years and Syros is always on my stop overs. On your way to Kia the Island of Kythnos has a beautiful wee marina called Loutra which is worth stopping at as it has a thermal pool at waters edge in the bay. Useful for next time. Enjoy Regards Alan
Wow, gosh, what a wonderful life -- sailing the Aegean for 20+ years. A lot of people would be very jealous of your job and experience! 🙋♀️ Oh, we briefly went past Kythnos, but didn't stay at the marina unfortunately, we anchored in the area where the sand bank separates the two bays, I'm not sure if you visit there very often? And yes - Syros, gosh, absolutely beautiful spot, I can see why you always stop by there Alan! It would be a crowd pleaser!
Hi Kristina, yes I have anchored both sides of the sand bar on Kythnos, it is true it takes years to find and enjoy all the secrets of the Greek Islands, you will be back I’m sure it has that kind of hold on you.Regards Alan
Sadly I have now retired from my Greek skippering, after 40 years of sailing and off shore racing its time to call it a day, the two main reasons for it are the Syrian crisis and all the refugees trying to escape into Europe and the Covid issue, both these we’re foremost in my decision. My wife and I are now enjoying our new Rockwood caravan and have been exploring NZ on land which is spectacular as you know. Keep in touch, kindest Regards Alan and Ngareta Inglis (NZ)
great episode guys. small tip reg pasta. never put oil while cooking. it tends to prevent the pasta from soaking the sauce once finished :) if you're staying with the pasta, and stirring, it will not stick to each other and once you put on the sauce, it flavours it far more!. side question. If I remember well you are leasing this yacht right? what's the cost like for all this period?
Ohhhh that’s SO interesting! Ok, no more oil 😝 We want flavour flavour flavour!! I’ll answer your question re: the yacht in next weeks episode if you’d like? 😎 Hope you’re having a great weekend!
We enjoyed Mykonos. The Hotel we stayed at gave us a car for the day which meant we could explore all the beaches which was great. Super Paradise Beach Club was pretty wild. I think I was the oldest person there, lol.
Oh fantastic! That's such a great little perk, having a car! What a great opportunity to explore the island and the different beaches, beautiful! 😎 I can just imagine the beach club - lol! How expensive are the drinks!!!! 🤪 Eye watering!!!
@@KristinasTravels Drinks are not expensive in Greece. That is reserved for Australia and getting more crazy by the week. Come to Thailand. I pay $1.50 for a stubby at a really nice bar in Bangkok.
That's amazing! Beautiful. We had dinner up at that restaurant there, wow, it's delicious! Is it new?? It seems like they're doing lots of renovations there?
Thank you for showcasing these beautiful islands., Another way to say "Not afraid to swim in 200 meters of water" is simply: The sea doesn't bite. The sand also, doesn't bite.
Will be in the same area in 3 Weeks, sailing around there for 14 days. So hyped to go to Greece again after a pause of some years Love the Videos❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for this I haven’t been back to my birthplace in 4 years. If you ever find your way back there you have to check out the back side of the island I would guess north northwest side. It’s not really populated but the nicest beaches and there’s even a little wooded area that people camp out at. Check out Gramata beach all the way to Delfini beach.
Hii!!!! Wow, how cool, what a spectacular place. We still haven't visited Canada before! Hopefully one day soon. Thanks for watching and being part of the crew guys!
Thanks Tony 🥹 I think you’re right, everything happens for a reason 🥰❤️ Big believer in that motto. And oh my, isn’t she gorgeous! I wish she was still here with us. I love her SO much. We had an enormous connection, I’ll cherish that feeling forever and hope to be as incredible and loving as her one day if we ever had grandchildren 🥹
🥹🍝 Just wanted to say hi and thank you for joining the crew this week! If you enjoyed this episode please consider hitting that little ‘👍’ above! It’ll help us out a lot 🥰👋 Also, go check out Rachel’s Greece Sailing vlog here: ruclips.net/video/tJIsPECoQDg/видео.html And join us on Patreon to join our private Facebook chat here: www.patreon.com/kristinastravels
Hi Kristina, Small cooking tip, don't add oil to the pasta as it stops the pasta sauce from sticking to the pasta, if your are having to save the pasta for the next day then you can add oil to prevent the pasta from sticking to itself.
Hey Bob! Amazing!!! Rachel's the same, she's been using hers for years too!!! This was the first time I had ever used one to be honest and I was pretty blown away. Didn't even know that type of thing existed. Ps. And the little Netflix hack!?!?!! Where has this info been living all my life? 🤣
Syros is a fitting capital for the Cyclades! Awesome job crewing. I'd love to see Karl and Kochie try crewing their own yacht and edit their own travel vids 😂
Absolutely! And yes... that would be interesting... I think they'd both give up after 30 seconds and would have accidentally filmed in a vertical aspect ... 🤣
Ermoupoli harbor in the early 19th century, was the center of economy not only for Greece,because of its location ( in the center of Aegean sea and through the route to Europe, Asia and Africa also. A lot of industries were located there and people from all over the world visited the island doing trade. There is a cemetery in town only for those foreigners - Allies who died there almost 200 years ago and it's very interesting to visit it.
Places look great. Boat looks nice. Looks like an incredible time. Just one funny little goofy hiccup. I know many do it but it does not serve any purpose when cooking pasta. First yes you salt the water big time there is an Italian saying that basically mean the pasta water should taste like the salty ocean. Second, and here is the boo boo, this is an “old wives tale’, you NEVER EVER EVER EVER put oil in your pasta water. It does NOT prevent pasta from sticking. 😂 😂 😂
very nice clip on board a ship around Greek islands with family stories, whitch program did you use to editing? good luck next clips ✌ "feet of water under the keel"
Hi Marz!! Thanks so much for the feedback 😃 would you like the scenes to run longer? More chats and umm’s etc, longer shots? Let me know and I’ll do a tweak moving forward 😎
the reason it says to add salt right in the directions is because salt water boils at a higher temperature. It helps keep it from boiling over... god damn!
Ola itan poli nostima (or something like that phonetically) means "everything (food/drinks) was really good". This is like 95% of my Greek knowledge, but every waiter/waitress loved it when we visited Thessaloniki 😀 it's good to learn some words at the local language when you visit a country. It shows some kind of respect to their culture and every local appreciates it (especially mediterraneans, like italians, greek people, spanish people, etc). Your Greek sailing put my mind a bit at ease, it seems more manageable than Australian waters, and we plan to sail eastern Spain first (Valencia). But it would be super cool to one day sail from Valencia to Antalya for example 🤩
Another beautiful, entertaining and informative video .So well done it really makes you want to be there. They were fools not to take you for that job. All the best to you and your crew.
Aw, thanks Ron 🥰 Cheers, and yes, it wasn't meant to be I'm sure... oh well.. money isn't everything is it! :) Here's to a life of adventure and learnings! 🤩
Great episode guys ✌️ Bummer on losing that 3 month big. Obviously, they did not know or appreciate your value and what you bring to the table. ✨🌊💨⛵️🏝👙🌞✨
Aw, I know, it was a bit of a bummer from a financial standpoint! But, oh well, everything happens for a reason. It's free'd up my time to be able to focus more this channel which has been wonderful, so thanks for being here and your support always Richard :)
Kristina, Bloody Beautiful and the vistas are not bad either. 🤣🤣 Just love it mate, u make me smile big time. Enjoy have fun, but please remember Covids still out there ok, u Rock🌈🇦🇺🌟
I have the same dream, I think, my O’Day 322 will take me from Annapolis, Maryland to the Aegean Sea in East Med…..but….maybe in not the same comfort as a Benetau 51
You know... it's funny.. whenever John and I have travelled overseas in the past, and stayed in crappy hotels/hostels (we hate forking out for accomodation!)... we always remember the experience, the places we saw along the way, and the memories we made. Comfort is not everything! :) Ps.. there would be SO MANY people out there who would do anything for a 322!! So don't be so hard on yourself, you're killing it mate!
I'm sure that the Italians out there have their reasons, but I break my noodle bundle in half. It not only makes them easier to cook, but easier to get in your mouth.
Nooooo sacrilegio la pasta trattata a quel modo !!!! peccato che parlo solo italiano altrimenti ti farei un video corso su come cuocere scolare e condire la pasta Vi seguo dal primo video e siete forti un abbraccio e buon vento Michele
Mi dispiace tanto. Ho rovinato il tuo piatto italiano!!! 🙈 Grazie per seguirci e per essere qui dall'inizio. E grazie al cielo per Google Translator!!! 😍
John you were great keep the boat going and Kristina also your ability to support and know each others strengths were seamless I have never enjoyed the sailing videos but I have watched every video in 12 hours very little sleep I do have one question John Why havent you married Kristina? If I could make it 3 years I would probably get married BUT 15 CMON MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi again John and k r i s t i n a, ever loving beautiful country of g r eese. Keep staying beautiful and handsome You t o o. I had a Greek uncle that came over from Greece in the first part of the last century and made pretty good in restaurant and real estate businesses and back to Greece every year or so to see most of his relatives that stayed in Greece. He would always give them financial assistance. Well stay safe you all and thanks much and look forward to your next. God bless you.
Hi! I’m not actually 100%, my mother just told me that many residents of Malta came from Spain, and so my great ancestors were most probably from there originally 🙂
Cheers Ronald. Aghhhh, spear fishing is definitely on the bucket list! I'm going to have to learn how to hold my breath for more than 30 seconds haha 🤣 It looks so mesmerising, it's better for the environment and it seems so rewarding?! I love a good hunt and gather, I'm sure you feel grounded after such a sport. Closer to nature and appreciative of the food we eat?
The ancient Greeks spoke of the nine muses: daughters of Zeus who graced humanity with gifts from mount Olympus itself. Great art, music, literature and philosophy were attributed to these divine beings, the most notable of their beneficiaries being Homer, the author of the Iliad, Dante the poet who composed the Purgatario and Shakespeare who himself invoked the muses in Henry V. I confess I haven't read much Shakespeare or Dante; I did enjoy Hollywood's abridged version of the Iliad, the blockbuster Troy but I resolutely believe I have had the privilege of meeting the eldest of the nine muses, Calliope. The most beautiful of them all, Calliope is acclaimed as the muse of epic poetry and eloquence, both arts I had no particular fondness for. And then three years ago, she waltzed into my life: humble, beautiful, cultured, exotic, introducing me to classical music like Albinoni's Adagio in G minor and the thunderous Carmina Burana set to music by Carl Orff. An artist, she filled my world with her latest creations which made me resolve then and there that I would never settle for anyone other than a creative. Time flew by in her company and every moment was surreal, bordering on sublime. A teetotaller, like myself, her highs were triggered by creativity, music and being in the mountains. One night, googling new names of stars to affectionately address her by, I stumbled upon Arcturus, and the related Arcturian Prophecies, a new age work from a Californian native that has a near-cult following. The book proposes that seventh dimensional beings are continually broadcasting pearls of wisdom to earth, which have brought about evolution. These noble beings find suitable residents of this nascent planet and fill them with an intense love for preservation of their land. What ensued were spirited discussions on how earth is being primed for the extinction of war, a time where prolific creativity, boundless peace and universal brotherhood is the only wealth strived for. All of a sudden, I started to write verse after spending time with her..abstract, unrelated, poetic verse. It made no sense whatsoever, it was just my fingers doing all the work, with no input from my mind. It was only after she took her leave that I started to notice an end to my explosive creative streak. A Google image search into muses revealed an ancient statue of Calliope, with the exact pose that had endeared me to her spirit: a delightful finger on her chin. Goa is home to divinity; she is as the protagonist in the Pulitzer winning classic 'To kill a mockingbird' states: "Remember it’s a sin to kill a mockingbird; They don’t do one thing but make music for us to enjoy and sing their hearts out for us. That’s why it’s a sin to kill a mockingbird"
Moved to Greece 37 years ago....just to live this....it's not just life ...it's. .religious. A famous Greek poet describes it in its absolute sense "My God , why do you spend so much Blue color to hide your existance from my eyes"....just spend 48 hours...then yiu enter I to Gods place ....He exists.
Just curious do you have a job maybe working from a laptop, no job at all or just collect money from the youtube channel. Just wondering how you can live this lifestyle. Might want to do it one day.
Guys and Ladies what the heck, before putting the pasta in the water, the water should be boiling it is fondamentale!!!!!🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️ but you are great anyway!
It’s my DREAM to sail around the Greek islands! Thank you so much for making these videos!!! Your channel is INCREDIBLE! 😍
Hi Zoe! What a perfect dream 😍😍😍 Thank you for the love and support: girls really do make the best crew 🤩☺️ xx
Its cheaper to rent it than buy it, owning boats is a expensive hobby
ABSOLUTELY LOVE HOW YOU GIVE REFERENCE POINTS ON MAPS TO ORIENTATE THE VIEWER AND GIVE PERCEPTION . FIRST TIME HERE !!! LOVE THE CHANEL !!!
I love watching everything back! Best trip of my life!!! Want to go back so badly 💕
It really was the best hey! 🥰 x
That was fantastic. I have fond memories of Mykonos in 1979 when I did a Contiki camping trip from London to Turkey! To be able to sail there must be so majestic ⛵️.
Wow! Soo cool Jill! Thank you and yes, it’s been an incredible experience. One we’ll never forget ☺️☺️ x
It's official, your video's have the best overall production value of all the sailing channels I watch!!! & I watch a lot!! Like a lot! Ha! Thanx for the share.
Yes what a rottie said.
🥹🥹🥹 thank you ❤️❤️❤️ So much love goes into each and every one x
there are so many wonderful videos out there I don't know how this one rates better in production value ... hell I don't even know what you mean by production value;)
Great video! You have heritage from Syros… I’ve been there many times. I have many relatives that live there and I never seem to be able to see them all when I go. Going back soon to enjoy the beaches and Ermoupolis.
You should see slip & slide of the tyres when it rains on those marble streets!
I doubt I will ever get to see Grece, but through your video, I can tell it is a romantic & MAGICAL kind of place surrounded by all kinds of hue's of blue ! So thanks for sharing your video's with all of us !!!
Love how your stories unfold so beautifully, its an experience that makes me smile💫
Thank you Robbo. Every island has truly been a dream. 🥹 Syros was extra special because of the family connection, when Mum told me about my Great Grandma, I had goosebumps! I just wish I had more time to explore the town. Oh well, there's always next time (I hope)! I've learnt my lesson, NO applying for job opportunities while travelling next time 😅 !!! Hope you're having a great weekend x
Your right about day hopping over there being just so good. We spent two years sailing the Med and spent only a handful of nights underway. It's fantastic. Cheers!
Beauty walks and abounds in this video. This has got to be one of the most enlightening places to sail and explore on earth.
Thank you Kenneth for your beautiful comment and contribution. Really appreciate your kind words .. it truly is such a beautiful place to explore and sail. We can't wait to get back one day! xx
Dream place for sure! Thanks for sharing!
Wow on board a ship on Mykonos is just amazing! Thanks for sharing this, you're amazing! Now checking your other vlogs. Happy to hear so much info to know before traveling to Greece. I always think that travels are made easier when you have the best travel gears and essentials too. The bento bag from Nomad Lane is my best carry-on bag for travels like this. Thought I'd share it with you guys too!
Just Subscribed.... Your Greek at the end did it for me😁😉🤣
Absolutely incredible the goal!

Always a lovely episode.
Thank you MA, too kind! ❤️🙏😊
You forgot to mention Markos Bambakaris, The Great Rebetis and Bouzouki player, He was born in Syra as thelocals call their isalnd !
Thank you for showcasing these beautiful islands.,
Another way to say "Not afraid to swim in 200 meters of water" is simply:
The sea doesn't bite. The sand also, doesn't bite.
Well said! Love that 🙌
But it can ???!!!
The presentation of your videos are outstanding. You will definitely get much better jobs in future so do not feel bad..
Awww, thank you Jishnu, appreciate your kind words 🥰
Will be in the same area in 3 Weeks, sailing around there for 14 days. So hyped to go to Greece again after a pause of some years
Love the Videos❤️❤️❤️
Amazing!!!!! So excited for you. Hoping the weather is deliciously warm for you, and the winds are calm but enough to sail! Enjoy guys!! Woohoo!
Your videos are amazing!!
Thank you Axilleus for the love and watching my friend!! Your support means so much 🙂

Aw, I know, it was a bit of a bummer from a financial standpoint! But, oh well, everything happens for a reason. It's free'd up my time to be able to focus more this channel which has been wonderful, so thanks for being here and your support always Richard :)
I think girls make the best video hosts too.... I didnt notice this was a sailboat video.... amazing views.
John is expensive. OMG. LMAO. That was the best.
i wouldn’t take sea water for cooking because all charter boats dumping waste everywhere in Greece
😬😬😬
Kristina, Bloody Beautiful and the vistas are not bad either. 🤣🤣 Just love it mate, u make me smile big time. Enjoy have fun, but please remember Covids still out there ok, u Rock🌈🇦🇺🌟
It was a bloody beaut' though wasn't it!!!! 😂 Cheers Karlene!! Us girls make the best crew 100%, cheers for the support and love! xx ❤️🌈
Question....lost track of yiur trips ...and men you are together...enjoy ...
That's my hometown hahahha
Wow! Amazing!! 🥰❤️
I have the same dream, I think, my O’Day 322 will take me from Annapolis, Maryland to the Aegean Sea in East Med…..but….maybe in not the same comfort as a Benetau 51
You know... it's funny.. whenever John and I have travelled overseas in the past, and stayed in crappy hotels/hostels (we hate forking out for accomodation!)... we always remember the experience, the places we saw along the way, and the memories we made. Comfort is not everything! :) Ps.. there would be SO MANY people out there who would do anything for a 322!! So don't be so hard on yourself, you're killing it mate!
Did you sail there from Australia ?
No, we chartered this boat in Greece! But we’d love to do the sail one day!!! 😄
You are so cute your energy is contagious !
Cheers B!
For me Girl crews are the best to look at lol. But my mum said John is ok.
Haha, I agree with your mama! 😍
I'm sure that the Italians out there have their reasons, but I break my noodle bundle in half. It not only makes them easier to cook, but easier to get in your mouth.
Ahhhh.. I'll have to try that one day! Haven't broken them in half before! Cheers for the tip matey ☺️ We'll give it a go
Nooooo sacrilegio la pasta trattata a quel modo !!!! peccato che parlo solo italiano altrimenti ti farei un video corso su come cuocere scolare e condire la pasta Vi seguo dal primo video e siete forti un abbraccio e buon vento Michele
Mi dispiace tanto. Ho rovinato il tuo piatto italiano!!! 🙈
Grazie per seguirci e per essere qui dall'inizio. E grazie al cielo per Google Translator!!! 😍
John you were great keep the boat going and Kristina also your ability to support and know each others strengths were seamless I have never enjoyed the sailing videos but I have watched every video in 12 hours very little sleep I do have one question John Why havent you married Kristina?

👍⛵🎣🌊💯
Would you be willing to tell us where you look for jobs? What is the process like? How do you create a portfolio or do you even need one?
Hi again John and k r i s t i n a, ever loving beautiful country of g r eese. Keep staying beautiful and handsome You t o o. I had a Greek uncle that came over from Greece in the first part of the last century and made pretty good in restaurant and real estate businesses and back to Greece every year or so to see most of his relatives that stayed in Greece. He would always give them financial assistance. Well stay safe you all and thanks much and look forward to your next. God bless you.
Hi 👋
Hello there 👋 Thanks for watching!
Nice video! thank you! what country is your Spanish background from? Spain? Argentina? etc.
Hi! I’m not actually 100%, my mother just told me that many residents of Malta came from Spain, and so my great ancestors were most probably from there originally 🙂
Thank you! Enjoy your life, it is beautiful from here. 🙂
♥️♥️🥰🥰
You forgot The parmesan sweet
🤦♀️🤦♀️ rookie!!! The best part!!
I need a Crew 😜
Haha!! 😎
@@KristinasTravels I'm being serious 😘
From the first time i've noticed you must be Greek !!!
❤️🙂 hehe, I am!
Great Episode tying the ones before into a nice bundle. If you guys aren’t vegan you should learn how to spearfish. 🌞
Cheers Ronald. Aghhhh, spear fishing is definitely on the bucket list! I'm going to have to learn how to hold my breath for more than 30 seconds haha 🤣 It looks so mesmerising, it's better for the environment and it seems so rewarding?! I love a good hunt and gather, I'm sure you feel grounded after such a sport. Closer to nature and appreciative of the food we eat?
❤
Cheers for the love Chaz ❤️
Dont spin the pasta, just twist the bundle and let go, it will fall naturally.
😮😮😮 great idea!! We’ll give it a go!
😊👍❤
The ancient Greeks spoke of the nine muses: daughters of Zeus who graced humanity with gifts from mount Olympus itself. Great art, music, literature and philosophy were attributed to these divine beings, the most notable of their beneficiaries being Homer, the author of the Iliad, Dante the poet who composed the Purgatario and Shakespeare who himself invoked the muses in Henry V. I confess I haven't read much Shakespeare or Dante; I did enjoy Hollywood's abridged version of the Iliad, the blockbuster Troy but I resolutely believe I have had the privilege of meeting the eldest of the nine muses, Calliope.
The most beautiful of them all, Calliope is acclaimed as the muse of epic poetry and eloquence, both arts I had no particular fondness for. And then three years ago, she waltzed into my life: humble, beautiful, cultured, exotic, introducing me to classical music like Albinoni's Adagio in G minor and the thunderous Carmina Burana set to music by Carl Orff. An artist, she filled my world with her latest creations which made me resolve then and there that I would never settle for anyone other than a creative.
Time flew by in her company and every moment was surreal, bordering on sublime. A teetotaller, like myself, her highs were triggered by creativity, music and being in the mountains. One night, googling new names of stars to affectionately address her by, I stumbled upon Arcturus, and the related Arcturian Prophecies, a new age work from a Californian native that has a near-cult following. The book proposes that seventh dimensional beings are continually broadcasting pearls of wisdom to earth, which have brought about evolution. These noble beings find suitable residents of this nascent planet and fill them with an intense love for preservation of their land.
What ensued were spirited discussions on how earth is being primed for the extinction of war, a time where prolific creativity, boundless peace and universal brotherhood is the only wealth strived for. All of a sudden, I started to write verse after spending time with her..abstract, unrelated, poetic verse. It made no sense whatsoever, it was just my fingers doing all the work, with no input from my mind. It was only after she took her leave that I started to notice an end to my explosive creative streak. A Google image search into muses revealed an ancient statue of Calliope, with the exact pose that had endeared me to her spirit: a delightful finger on her chin.
Goa is home to divinity; she is as the protagonist in the Pulitzer winning classic 'To kill a mockingbird' states: "Remember it’s a sin to kill a mockingbird; They don’t do one thing but make music for us to enjoy and sing their hearts out for us. That’s why it’s a sin to kill a mockingbird"
Moved to Greece 37 years ago....just to live this....it's not just life ...it's. .religious. A famous Greek poet describes it in its absolute sense "My God , why do you spend so much Blue color to hide your existance from my eyes"....just spend 48 hours...then yiu enter I to Gods place ....He exists.

You cant be on sea and ask the crew what they want to eat. Jk.😄
🤩
Just curious do you have a job maybe working from a laptop, no job at all or just collect money from the youtube channel. Just wondering how you can live this lifestyle. Might want to do it one day.
pasta not parstar
Guys and Ladies what the heck, before putting the pasta in the water, the water should be boiling it is fondamentale!!!!!🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️ but you are great anyway!
Being Greek , is not a national identity. Is to be a citizen if world and understand the meaning of life in it's simplicity and in it's philosophy.
