10 Reasons to Visit Greece – Opa!
By: poweredbytofu on: Jun 6,2009 In: 10 things that make me happy, Greece, TravelWhile Greece is the 20th most popular tourist destination for Americans (and thanks to the picturesque island of Santorini, one of the top honeymoon spots), there are still deals to be found and [almost] desolate beaches to explore. I accidentally spent about a month in Greece last September. While I had planned to stay for [...]
#102: Go To A Concert Outside of PDX Area
By: poweredbytofu on: Dec 3,2008 In: 101 Things in 1001 Days, Greece, TravelI had the amazing opportunity to see REM and Kaiser Chiefs for FREE while I was in Athens in October.

#30: Walk To The Grocery Store
By: poweredbytofu on: Oct 6,2008 In: 101 Things in 1001 Days, Food, Greece, New Zealand, Travel, shoppingI’ve pretty much been walking to the grocery store since I started traveling. ;) I probably did most of my international grocery shopping in New Zealand and Greece though. New Zealand was an easy country to carry around a food bag and actually cook in the evenings, while in Greece I was buying more [...]
#87: Consciously Stop Saying ‘yeah’ And ‘like’ For 1 Week
By: poweredbytofu on: Sep 20,2008 In: 101 Things in 1001 Days, Greece, Travel, bad habitsThe beauty of being in a foreign country alone, is that it can be easier to kick a bad habit! Since it was all Greek to me anyway, I found myself using less filler words when trying to communicate. All the added words, such as “like” and “yeah” just add confusion. So while I still [...]

About
Adventures of a twenty-something Pacific Northwesterner who ditched her marketing job and MBA for a year-long round the world trip. Call it a quarter-life crisis or just the travel bug; either way, this blog documents the adventure. One year later, take a look at my rehabilitation back into daily life.
