Elegance in a Crop Top

Posted May 31, 2019 by alchilde

Paros is a dream, and I think I could live here forever. The weather is wonderful, if blazingly hot. The ocean is beautiful, its refreshing breeze carrying across the city. The food is cheap and delicious, and I can walk to a dozen excellent restaurants from the villa. A lot of buildings, especially in residential… Read more »

I’ve craved travel for as long as I can remember. When I was a kid I used to watch streaming videos from different places all over the world, watching people go about their days, wondering what it was like to be in another city, state, country. I ‘liked’ and ‘hearted’ internet friends’ posts as they… Read more »

Salutations!

Posted May 28, 2019 by alchilde

Salutations! There are many times in life that I have wondered whether or not I am good enough for what lies ahead in my future. Countless times in my childhood, I have been told that I am such a nice and smart person. It always appeared to be so insincere; merely an attempt to shut… Read more »

5 flights, 4 friends, 2 overnight layovers and countless memories briefly describe my travel to Paros, Greece. I don’t even know where to begin when talking about this study abroad trip – nothing I have ever experienced could ever compare.   I have spent the last 12 days on this small Island in the middle… Read more »

There is Always Room to Grow

Posted May 26, 2019 by alchilde

A year ago, I achieved what I’d originally deemed impossible when I arrived on the Island of Paros for the first time in my life. It was only one in a series of firsts that lead me down a path of growth and opportunity for the better. It was the first time I’d traveled alone,… Read more »

Finding Answers

Posted May 25, 2019 by alchilde

The farther from home I get, the more answers I find to the problems that Indiana has, or rather, the problems I have with Indiana. With every answer I find, I also have more questions. I have rarely travelled before coming to Greece, and had only left the Midwest no more than five times before… Read more »

When In Rome’s Cousin

Posted May 24, 2019 by alchilde

As I’m writing my blog post, I am sitting in an enormous cave on the island of Antiparos and looking at what is considered to be the oldest stalagmite in all of Europe. 45 million years of history stares back. During my time in Greece, I have experienced so much so quickly. A far cry… Read more »

Quite an Experience

Paros, Greece… wow! It has been amazing! I could probably fill up this entire blog post with just what we did today. This is my first trip abroad and it has been quite an experience. Today was filled with adventures to different places including a cave on Antiparos. This cave was amazing and very deep…. Read more »

My Terrible Horrible No Good Very Bad Day… with Technology!

Posted May 22, 2019 by alchilde

This was the first day to dumping all the footage from the day before. There were 3 interviews with video and audio, and B-roll from two other cameras. The night before, I tried to prepare by gathering up as much footage as I could and start to label the files. But no matter what, it… Read more »
