Photos like this make me wish two things. 1- I wish I was standing on that ledge looking out at one of the most beautiful places in America. 2- I wish I could take photos this beautiful. Since I don’t see either of those happening immmediately today, I’ll just continue to be taken away by Jesse Chehak’s photography.

Want to Go Wednesday: Greece!

Greece is a magical place that often evokes the images of bright white buildings with sky blue rooftops. Beyond the beauty and some of the best olives you’ll ever taste- Greece has a lot to offer- including a glimpse into the past. This week we want to go to Greece on an Archaeological dig!

Greece Archelogical Dig Travel with Gtrot

Want to uncover the history of Greece? Volunteer to work at a summer archaeological dig in Greece like Josiah. Here’s an excerpt from her experience:

“It was a seal stone, used as a personal signature by Minoans, and very valuable. My room and board were provided from then on, and every day for two months I rose before dawn for a quick breakfast and the cool breeze of the boat ride to the island, before digging up the pasts of those who lived thousands of years ago under the same Mediterranean sun.

Besides receiving a free, hands-on education in archaeological fieldwork, I came to know and love the Cretan culture I was immersed in while not in the trenches. The friendships I formed there remain fast, and the lessons I learned about the breadth of history and the variety of cultural perspective continue to inform my own perception of the world. And all I had to do was show up.”

Read more detail of her archaeological dig here.
