The most satisfying part of a trip is looking at maps planning what you're going to do. I don't...

Generally, I'll have a sort of broad strokes plan but, I like to give myself the flexibility to simply follow where my mood takes me or what strikes me as interesting on the day.

In October, I'm having what I've dubbed as my mini Greek Odyssey. Athens, Samos, Patmos (visit the monastery and cave associated with the Book of Revelations), back to Samos (generally wander around but ultimately go on a couple of hikes that a friend has already mapped out), back to Athens and finally go back "home". I've allowed for the whole month of October.

And yeah, I will be hunting for super-cool souvenirs and will be taking countless photos.

And I'm going to search every single souvenir shop for the best thing cause I'm not just going to buy the first magnet I see in front of me.

Careful there, last time, I feel if I stayed staring at magnets for one more minute longer I think the seller wouldn't have strangled me at the spot. No, I didn't buy anything in the end because I couldn't find anything I'd like. 😂
