People often ask why I chose to move to Greece—especially since I barely speak the language, have no close family or friends here, and am definitely not a fan of heat (to put it mildly!).
But here’s the thing…
First, there’s the sea—magical, healing, calming. Warm and gentle, endlessly beautiful. Just being near it changes something in you.
Then there’s the sunlight. Harsh at midday in summer, yes—but during those crisp, clear winter mornings? It’s golden and life-giving. Coffee on the terrace becomes a daily ritual of gratitude.
And the food. Fresh fruits and vegetables, wild greens, beans, incredible fish… Greece is a paradise for vegetarians and pescatarians. Even the simplest taverna serves something unforgettable—and often, it’s surprisingly affordable.
But most of all, it’s the people. Warm, welcoming, full of life. They know how to enjoy the moment, how to be kind without needing a reason.
So no, I didn’t come here for logical reasons. I came because my heart told me this place had something I needed. And it was right. 💙🤍
