Greece: 10 Day Itinerary Ideas

Greece is a country on every traveler’s radar- and for good reason. The photos don’t lie. The country really is THAT beautiful.  Once you’ve made the decision to go, trying to fit it all in on a budget can be tricky. While many people go to Greece on an organized tour or with a cruise, we chose to do it solo. There are of course pros and cons to each style, but this independent trip…

I went here for ten days with my husband, and there was so much variety in the landscapes and tons to do. 💙 I'd love to go back!

This photo is from 2011 😲! I was looking thro This photo is from 2011 😲! 

I was looking through photos from my 3 weeks in southeast Asia 🌍 and even though most of them aren't "Instagram style", it was still an amazing travel experience, and I decided "too bad I'm gonna share a few anyways"! 💁‍♀️ My husband had a DSLR camera even back then, so thankfully we have a lot of great high quality photos from that trip! 📸

((PS If you're wondering about my strange choice of fashion, 🤪 I was wearing a sleeveless sundress,but to visit this sacred site in Bali I had to put a sarong on to cover my legs, and a little shawl to cover my arms 🙏))

Anyone else have tons of photos from travels, but before the days of social media? 👇

🇨🇴 Happy (belated) birthday to my husband Jo 🇨🇴 Happy (belated) birthday to my husband John! 💍 Travel was one of the first things we bonded over when we met at a college party in Lexington, and I've loved all our adventures over the years 🌏

This was taken right after we got engaged! Before we got engaged, we'd been dating for over 4 years. I had casually mentioned several times all my criteria for my dream proposal, and he made it happen 🥰

I told him:

💙1) It needs to be a cool, memorable location- preferably in another country! ✈️

💙2) You need to talk to my Dad first and get his blessing to propose 😃

💙3) I would love a surprise engagement party afterwards 🎉 (he actually did surprise me with me one after we flew back home)

💙4) You better get down on one knee or I'm saying no 😜

Here's the proposal story, if you wanna know: 👇🏼

🧳 We were on a two week backpacking trip through Colombia. Near the last day of the trip, we rode horses on this insane humid jungle trail. 🐎 I was so sweaty and irritated that when we got to this beautiful beach an hour later, I was whining about getting in the water immediately. 🌴 John insisted I should wait until we took a photo first (because "my hair would look bad if I got it wet" 😂), and I conceded. He set up the tripod, and while I thought we were just taking a photo, he popped the question! 💍 

Of course now we always joke about how bad of a mood I was in right before the proposal. That's life for you I guess! 😃

This famous walled city is growing in popularity, and in the summer it can be insane crowded and hot. 🥵 Even though it's crowded, and every place jacked up their prices, is it still worth visiting? 🤷🏽‍♀️ Absolutely!!
...
What to do with 1-2 days in this UNESCO heritage city? 👇🏼
...
🌎 Walk the city walls for epic views
🌎 Explore the narrow streets and alleys, and walk the main "Stradun" for live music 
🌎 Take the chairlift above the city for an incredible view! 
🌎 Rent a kayak and explore the nearby caves, and swim in the salty Adriatic
🌎 Take a boat to Lokrum Island and see the peacocks 🦚
🌎 Take part in a historical walking tour (learning about the city during the war in the '90's is really interesting)
🌎 Relax on one of many nearby beaches!
...
Croatia is such a gem 💎. This country has loads to see. Outside of this particular city, it is really not crowded or "touristy". If you haven't been, get yourself there! 😎

I'm 💜🐻🎉🌍🌮, which I feel like accurately describes my life. 

That's all I got today you guys. I'm running low on photos to recycle 😅, so enjoy a throwback of when I was young, tan, and 30 pounds lighter (ha. but seriously. Baby weight I hate you 🥺).
🇺🇲 What if I told you.... that I used the ap 🇺🇲 What if I told you.... that I used the app @picsart to plop an image of myself onto this photo I took a few years ago in Utah? 🤫 You wouldn't believe it because it looks so perfect and natural right??!

... Just kidding. 🤪 Definitely isn't my best photo editing work 😅 However, I was pretty impressed given it's a free app (and that I was able to do this in about 10 minutes)!

So, if you knew it was fake right away, how did you know? The shadows? Or, did I trick you with my skillZ 👇😬
🇦🇱 I may not have designer clothes or a new 🇦🇱 I may not have designer clothes or a new car, but I've been to Albania so 😅

(Caption inspired by @heleneinbetween ! 💜) What I mean is, when you prioritize travel, you sometimes have to make cuts in other areas so you can stay on budget. 💰

So yes, I have the same car I've been driving since I was 16. 🚗 The majority of my clothes are cheap. 👗 There are other things I could do with my money, but I choose to put it towards travel 🌍 (well, before the last year hah). (Also having a baby is pricy 😅) (also I need to stop going to restaurants 😅).

Do you all make any budget sacrifices so you are able to travel more often? 🧳
