By Jason Peercy The orange and red sunset of Apollo slowly fell beneath the deep blue of the Aegean Sea, the home of Poseidon, turning the cloudy sky of Zeus purple as island mountains of the Ourea recede into the night, the realm of Nyx. I am only one of many passengers on the Blue… Read more »

Everything Is Awesome

In fact, it has been so perfect that sometimes I wonder if I am dreaming about anything. The weather is always warm, sunny, and comfortable. Everything that I have… Read more »
The Light of Paros
By Trace Leapley My time in Greece has been nothing but outstanding. Ever since I stepped foot off that plane, it has been nothing but serotonin in my brain and adventure in my heart. I know that sounds cheesy, but it is honestly how I feel being here on Paros. It is hard to explain,… Read more »

Embrace the Unfamiliar
By Lauren Drang When it comes to my feelings about this trip, I think I was more anxious in preparation than I am now on the island. I was a nervous wreck the few days before leaving. I thought I would forget so many things and be stuck spending so much money fixing that forgetfulness…. Read more »

Today, we collectively filmed two interviews, worked on drafting some iconography and motion graphics, and spent tons of time bonding as teammates and friends. Yesterday was… Read more »
A Storyteller’s Dream
By Jennifer Blohm I cannot believe I’m writing this blog from Greece. I still have to pinch myself from time to time to make sure it’s real and that it’s still not me dreaming about it in January.

Adventure in Paros
By Jake Bertram If there’s one thing that has always flowed through my blood, it’s a knack for adventure. From running around the “crick” in my neighborhood as a child & hiking through Brown County, Indiana, to exploring The Tetons in Wyoming, exploration is a dragon I will forever chase. Getting the opportunity to… Read more »
An Island of Paradise (Because there’s cats)
By Em Barry This isn’t my first time traveling internationally, but it is my first time in Greece. It’s a wondrous feeling to turn around and see a huge mountain in the not-so-far distance and to see how small things, like water and power conservation, compare to life in the US. Personally, I think… Read more »
