Back Again - and Off to Athens

hey everyone, It's been a while since my last post- actually since May! I didn't plan to take such long break but sometimes life gets busy! Especially when you live in such beautiful island like me, summer feels unreal.The long days at the beach with your friends, the walks by the sea and the salty air made me forget about writing for a while. But summer is over now, and soon i'll be moving to Athens to start school there-a new chapter I cant wait to share with you!  But as I mentioned earlier- I'm moving to Athens to start something new and exciting! New school, new people and most importantly new opportunities. I cannot describe what I'm feeling at the moment.It's a mix of excitement, nervousness and curiosity about what is coming next...Leaving the island and going to a big city, does feel scary-but- I've done it before and it was great!Lets hope for the best. I can't wait to share as much as possible from my new journey to you.I'm glad to be back...

Easter Break: The Illusion of Summer Break

 I think we can all agree that when you're a teenager going to school, the best feeling is when school break starts. I mean...you cant blame us! We get to wake up at the time we would be finishing school and don't study as much as we would if schools were open. Thats like heaven for most teenagers! Imagine us, the teens who get to grow up on an island... Every year I spend Easter Break in Kefalonia with my parents and the rest of the family. Easter is considered one of the best holidays and "seasons" on our island. We get to wake up and go to the beach with our friends till late and go to plenty family gatherings. Today you'll get to know how Easter is spent on our beautiful island...! When school closed for two weeks everyone was sooo excited! Many of my friends came from different places just to spend the holidays here, I was so happy to see everyone after so long. Even though our Bucket List was really really long and had various things for us to do, unfortunat...

From the Beach to the Mountains

A Weekend Ski Trip   Every kid that lives next to the beach wants to experience the feeling of skiing down a huge mountain. That kid would be me! HI I'm Erietta , and if you're new here ;I'm a girl who has moved a lot of places the last 16 years of her life...But at this point of life a l live on the island i was raised in. A not so small greek island with a variety of beautiful beaches, Kefalonia. Don't get me wrong; we have many mountains here, you can go hiking both summer and winter, you can explore them and see many beautiful wild animals. But no... you can't ski there...That's why my friends and i decided to make a quick getaway and visit the lovely Parnassus mountain. I was soo excited when my mum announced to me that we're going skiing this weekend! And the best part? I could get 2 of my friends to come with me. I quickly jumped off the couch and ran to make my suitcase. I called my friends and told the fantastic news. We were waiting for that day ...

Our Fishing Adventure

 Our Fishing Adventure. The year started nicely in Kefalonia, the island where i moved for a year...Great weather, no rain and not too much cold. So what was better than going fishing with friends this Sunday? It was an early Sunday morning when my phone buzzed with an enthusiastic text from Lambros: "The weather is great! Meet me at the Cruise Ship Dock in an hour.Ready to catch something big? " I didn't think much at the time, just got ready and left the house. There's something really nice about waking up and being able to do soooo many fun stuff in nature.  Fishing has been one of my favorite activities since i was young. I used to do it with my dad almost every day.We still go, but, with school i don't have much time.Now i do it with my friends.We are actually really good at it.We've learned many stuff which are useful for us to catch more stuff. This time was a bit different...When i got there Lambros had already started fishing with his rod. He had brou...
