My story

Hey, I am Anna.

I recently decided to quit my job as an architect to travel to and through Greece. I converted a van in the Netherlands, and will (soon) drive down South to explore Greece. My Greek boyfriend, the one who made me fall in love with him as well as his country, is unfortunately staying behind. So I will start a journey for myself, by myself.

Read here about how a simple tinder date many years ago was able to completely change my life. And if you want to support my content as well as my journey? Buy me a coffee!
