begun to create a little world for myself in a distant place that has become a temporary home. Now, I know that my recent lifestyle is not for everyone; some people would go crazy living out of suitcases and would hate not knowing what will happen next. . . but I love that about my life!I come across lots of tourists here, particularly American, who ask me how a twenty year old girl from Boston ends up living on a Greek island ? ? My answer... why not? I guess my two years in Spain have turned me into a bit of a free spirit, altered the way my mind works; in the end I think I have learned to enjoy life, to take chances, to act on my plans rather than just talk about them, those changes in myself are ones I am so grateful for.
So, after visiting this island for one short but fabulous week during my freshman year in
Spain I decided I would come back. I was here only days but I fell in love with the rare beauties of the small island: the houses built into cliffs, the beaches of red and black volcanic rock, the captivating honey colored people with piercing blue eyes and the rugged coast lines that meet the turquoise waters. I made a plan to come back, so a little over three weeks ago I came here, all alone, suitcases in hand with no plan except that I would spend my 
summer here on Santorini!

summer here on Santorini!I walked around the capital town of Fira for about two days introducing myself to the locals and found myself a job and a roommate and a place to live. Aside from a few overwhelming moments and a couple lonely minutes everything has worked itself out and I am having the time of my life! Each day is a new adventure; last week my new found Aussie friend and I took an old fashioned sail boat to a volcano and swam in hot springs that are orange in color from sulfur deposits, and yesterday we made the trek to the secluded red sand beach that feels like a secret paradise.
Alright, time for the beach. . . life is tough!
