Back to Chios, Alone
The wedding tour complete and Sean heading home to hold down the fort, phase two of my adventure kicked into high gear. The Gulecs hosted a tasty brunch at their house — featuring lots of yummy fried morsels — and we bid adieu to those going on “The Blue Voyage,” a boat cruise Onur and Chrissy arranged for their friends that were making it out to the Turkish wedding. I sadly decided not to go. While I knew I’d be missing one of the best memory-making experiences ever, I had the opportunity to stay somewhere equally beautiful, free of charge. Now that my income is negative, I have to pick and choose a bit more carefully.
After lounging and dozing by the pool with my London-based friends, Taj and Ragi, I boarded a ferry back to Chios, where I would spend the night. Still sick and rather tired, I told my biker friends I wasn’t up for hanging and spent a rather uneventful night in my hotel room uploading my pictures and watching “Open Water” with Greek subtitles.

About Me
After years of “playing it safe,” “doing what’s right” and “towing the line,” my toe is tickling the cusp of a new life full of travel, creativity, self-discovery and education both formal and informal. These musings chronicle my search for the extraordinary, in places both big and small, far and near. I nabbed a one way ticket to adventure and I can’t wait to use it.
A bit more about me …
Born and raised near Boston in Quincy, MA, I discovered the world beyond America’s East Coast when I first traveled to Europe in 2000. Bitten by that most delightfully infectious creature, the travel bug, I soon found myself climbing Mt. Fuji in Japan, watching the shadows tilt on Machu Picchu in Peru, deftly avoiding weaving motos in Hanoi, diving in the milky waters of Iceland’s hot springs, bargaining in Istanbul’s main bazaar, snorkeling in the seas off Thailand, and much more. I co-authored Let’s Go: Washington D.C. (2000 edition) and Let’s Go: Barcelona (2003 edition), and enjoy writing, singing, electronic music, tap dancing, storytelling and finding crazy adventures around every turn.
