People often ask us what prompted us to begin blogging. The answer is simple and clear.
It all started with Greece. Nobody was promoting the country at the time. Not even the tourist board of the country.
As travel and hospitality professionals who go above and beyond to provide our current and future clients with a highly personalized experience, our travel offers, at the time, were actually travel stories.
So we took that information, which included the good, the bad, and the ugly, and turned it into a travel blog. It all came out very naturally.
Some people will never understand the value of authentic storytelling. We are not discussing fables and myths.
Just simple and truthful facts and tips are what can turn a trip into a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
Over the course of 11 years of travel blogging and storytelling, we came across some lifestyle and travel quotes that meant a lot to all of us.
We hope you find them at the very least interesting.
