STUNNING GREECE

Chanced upon a schoolmate's blog a while ago and felt pretty inspired to blog after reading some of her posts. I am pretty envious, to say the least, of the fact that her parents actually allow her to travel alone/ with a partner friend to countries such as London. I have always wanted to do that, to just pack my bags and leave for a destination unknown. But with a bank account like mine and somewhat overprotective parents who has made it clear that I'm not travelling to any country alone, the chances of me actually doing that is almost close to nil. My dad has promised to sponsor me in those university school exchange programmes to countries such as UK and US, provided that I actually get into NUS/NTU, IF I actually get in. I guess that's my closest bet to having an expenses paid overseas trip at the age of 18/19. But pushing reality aside, one of the top 10 places that I really want to visit before I die would be Greece.

I can't say exactly when I actually took an interest in the country, but I'm just so intrigued by the history and architecture of the place. Moreover, they have GORGEOUS BEACHES.

Falassarna Beach in Crete, which is a small island to the South of Athens

Sacred Monastery of Arkadi

Imbros Gorge

 Castello del Molo (Koules)

THEY EVEN HAVE CASTLES

Rethymnon Old Town

Speed limit of 20km/hr! Love this quaint little town!

AHHHH reading all the reviews of the place is making me want to visit Greece more. Sigh wish I could just hop onto a plane right now. MONEY WHY WON'T YOU GROW ON TREES? Life would be so much better then.
