For the last four years I have discovered places around the world that you will never believe, I have discovered things about myself that I never thought were possible.

A dream, a conquest an experience. When I dreamt of seeing Santorini I thought it would be one of those places that the post cards made look so good, but in fact it is better than what any post card can depict.
