The Adventure to Come

Posted May 31, 2022 by vhooton

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

Posted May 30, 2022 by vhooton

By Jasmine Martin Even after a week and a half, I still cannot believe that I am in Greece! Just about everything about Paros is perfect. 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

Posted May 30, 2022 by vhooton

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 »

Feels Like Home

Posted May 27, 2022 by vhooton

By Virginia Hooton   I have been on Paros for a week now, and I have been having a wonderful time. Every day has been something new and exciting. The first night I got here, I was excited to see what was on the island. Something I didn’t think about before coming to Greece, in… Read more »

Embrace the Unfamiliar

Posted May 27, 2022 by vhooton

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 »

Drops in the Bucket

Posted May 26, 2022 by vhooton

By Jacob Bridenthal Paros is beautiful, but it’s not solely the architecture or climate that makes it so. It’s the people, community, and culture that complete this millennia-old puzzle. 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

Posted May 25, 2022 by vhooton

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. The jet lag and internal-clock readjustments have been tough to get used to, but it’s all worth… Read more »

Exploring Paros and Getting to Work

Posted May 24, 2022 by vhooton

By Will Bickel So far, my experience in Greece has been nothing short of incredible! Despite only having been here for about 5 days, it feels like it’s been much longer. We’ve been making the most of our free time on the island to explore restaurants, attractions, and anything else that catches our eye (usually… Read more »

Adventure in Paros

Posted May 23, 2022 by vhooton

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)

Posted May 22, 2022 by vhooton

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 »
