Yiasou!

🎶 What was the best concert you ever saw? 🎶
Lately, I’ve felt the wanderess awakening once again within me. I’ve been desirous of a new adventure. Not a vacation, mind you. A life-shifting adventure. Something is stirring within me. I’m not sure where it will lead me except back to the blank page waiting to be filled.
Family lore has it that a fellow seaman told my father that Swedish women were the most beautiful women in the world (the last photo really illustrates this! 😂), and so my father set out from Greece to meet a Swede. He met a leggy Swedish American, and married her.
When you love traveling, it can sometimes feel stifling to go to the same place more than once, but I have a genetic pull toward Sweden. There aren’t any touristy type things I want to do there. It just feels right to be there — the way New York City feels right to me.
That moment you hit flow state with your work.
