Sleep On Nature At Coco-Mat In Athens Greece

We’ve been traveling the world now for over four years, and since 2014 there have been a couple of items that have traveled the world with us. These are our Coco-Mat Aromatherapy Pillow-sachets.

A New Hotel Made From Old Pieces Athens Greece

We all know recycling is important, but when we entered the NEW Hotel in Athens Greece, we were shocked as they have taken recycling to a whole new level. Why? Because the walls, as well as a lot of the furniture and fixtures, are made from the antique and ancient wood that they were scrapping […]

Amazing Acropolis Athens

Amazing Acropolis Athens When a nine-year-old boy has a desire to see a city, then I think that is exciting. Explorason’s “Bucket List” had Sydney, New York, London, Paris, Rome and Athens on it.

Dorian Inn Athens Greece with Acropolis View

We have arrived in Athens. I drive around (and no – Athens traffic is not that crazy either), with a list of hotels to look at, and they all look pretty bad.  We head to an area where we are due to have a conference, and the prices are sky high for hotels, or they […]
