I think tonight I died and went to heaven. I do try to have as many days like this as possible (not just travelling but in general) but I think tonight I truly hit the mark. I’m on an island called Samos in the north-eastern Aegean Sea, quite close to Turkey. I spent three nights…

Thank you for these stunning pictures, and the beautiful commentary. You are quite the travel writer, Beth. Keep ‘em coming. xx |
