After a short 45 min flight from Athens I landed in Thessaloniki (Greece’s 2nd capital). From there it was a 1.15 hour drive to paradise.

Welcome to Ekies All Senses resort! A barefoot luxury family resort on the Aegean Sea. Upon arrival I was whisked away to my Evergreen suite. I arrived one day prior to the rest of the group so I was able to relax and enjoy this 76 room resort.

Simply paradise if being honest. Casual, calm and relaxing with amazing service from the amazing staff.

It was a little chilly and rainy upon arrival so I made a massage appointment and just enjoyed the relaxation!

Do you believe that travel can change your life?​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​I’ve taken a handful of trips in my life that I will never forget for various reasons.

That includes my trips to Australia and Dubai.

But my trip to South Africa is easily at the top of the list. On that trip, I experienced a safari, took the cable car to the top of Table Mountain, visited wine country, hung out with the Penguins and took a day trip to Cape Point. But what really impacted me was seeing an elephant for the first time. Took my breath away at how majestic these animals are. Seeing all of the animals in the wild, in their own world was just truly amazing.

To say it was life-changing would be an understatement. I just wouldn't be as grateful as I have been this last year. Grateful to be able to explore this wonderful world, grateful to have met some amazing people on that trip and grateful that I can continue to explore and share my travels with all of you. That trip changed my life as most trips to Africa do and I can't wait to go back.

What’s the best trip you’ve ever taken?
