This summer attended a Destination trip to the Ionian Sea. It was the most incredible
experience. From the people I met to the food and culture of Greece to the
views, I cannot express how grateful I am to have been able to take this trip. Our Greek guide took a photo of our group in one of the many
coves that we stopped in for “melon breaks” as he referred to them in order to
take a little break from paddling and eat some delicious melon and swim around.
We also took a selfie with our guide during a
particularly long paddle day that made everyone a little bit irritable, or
“salty” as we taught him the American slang word which he found hilarious as we
were paddling through the incredibly salty Mediterranean Sea.
The bottom is a
photo taken by one of our leaders as we pulled into a cove for a lunch break.
The relationships that I was able to form with these girls who I had never met
but now talk to regularly as well as with our American leaders and our Greek
and Finnish guides are truly one of a kind and will last a lifetime. The self
learning that occurred and the memories that I made on this trip are
irreplaceable and for everything that occurred on this trip I am so thankful.
