Who she is

Mel travels all over the United States for work, and joined our Greece trip.

Going in

Greece had always been on her bucket list and she was tired of waiting for it. She also wanted to meet new friends who shared her passion for travel.

The trip

What surprised her was the beautiful architecture and culture everywhere she went, and how welcoming everyone was to travellers.

Her favourite memory was swimming in the crystal clear water and snorkelling out to see a shipwreck. She also loved simply walking the streets, soaking up the culture, and the food.

What changed

The nerves she had going in were soon outweighed by the love and community she felt from the group, and she made more connections than she ever thought possible.

New friends

On feeling nervous before you book:

“Being scared means that this really matters to you. I promise you that others on the trip feel the exact same way, meaning that you are not alone.”

To the woman who has been watching and putting it off:

“Just do it! Being scared will never truly go away, but it will start to be overshadowed by the love and community you feel throughout the entire trip. So do it scared, because I promise you that you will make more connections than you ever thought was possible and experience some incredible things.”
