Hello, and another quick Q&A 😅

May 15, 2023June 5, 2023 ~ Madison Kennedy

So, I finally went on vacation after six months of staying home because of my autoimmune illness…

It was definitely not the same, I had to adjust to my new limits, but I’m happy I went anyway because it wasn’t as exhausting as it can be for some vacay, since I only went to stay with my grandma in Serbia. I wanted to be super chill while there, so I didn’t pack my MacBook, which explains the lack of posting. I must admit at some point I tried to blog from my iPad, but it was so annoying that I gave up. I mean the platform, and speed, are just not the same. Anyone who tries to tell you that you don’t need a MacBook if you have an iPad, clearly doesn’t know what they’re talking about.

Let’s do a little Q&A 🤗

I used to do these, back in the day… and they were kinda fun ! I’d find Q&A online, or even get some questions via emails, and I’d just compile those and answer on my blog. I’m feeling nostalgic, so let’s do a quick one again !

Where do you like to vacation ?
You probably already know that one, but it’s on Crete island in Greece. I don’t need to explain why, it’s self-explanatory, especially if you read my blog 😅. Besides that, my favorite vacay is always just seeing the fam & friends, which are scattered between the USA, Switzerland and Serbia !

Back from my unannounced break !

April 21, 2023October 22, 2023 ~ Madison Kennedy

Hello everyone !

So, as you might have noticed, I did take a month-long unannounced break… there’s a couple things I want to get out of the way;

The first reason I stopped blogging all of a sudden, is because I realized I was overexposed and I wasn’t really vibing with that anymore. Especially after my doctor told me I should just chill, and figure out my new needs and adjust my expectations along with that. I also like pretty much stopped hopping & sharing on Instagram or TikTok. Honestly it was really good, helped me figure out some things.

A fishermen’s village

And then the storm hit !

If you’ve been following my adventures from a couple posts ago, then you know we somehow stranded ourselves on Spinalonga island, tried to bribe our way back to shore without any luck, until we bumped into the nicest boat guy who was sailing for a village named Plaka… and he only took us in because there was an alert being broadcasted for an incoming storm, and they stopped sending boats on waters.

Got to this beautiful seaside village, to dry ourselves in a café because we got drenched in the boat, under a crazy rain. Finally found a taxi to take us back to our hotel in another city, the pretty Elounda, and got not-so-suprised by the storm during that ride. Ran from taxi door, to hotel door, in already over two inches of rain. Ended up wet again, but at the rooftop restaurant of our hotel, with a nice cocktail. Delightful. In France we say “après la pluie, le beau temps” so I guess, good weather must be incoming now.

Seaside Cretan village

March 22, 2023March 10, 2023 ~ Madison Kennedy

We ended up in this little seaside village unexpectedly…

I don’t know if you remember, but in the last post I told you about the little situation we got ourselves into, which was : we missed our boat back ! We couldn’t pay our way out of Spinalonga island, and got stuck there for over an hour… we tried explaining this, but no other boat wanted to take us as there were some “safety measures” they needed to follow (???)

Finally someone with some sense told us, we could be waiting there for longer than that, because there was a storm coming, and they might be the last boat going back to shore for a while. They accepted us in, otherwise we could have stayed on leper island until who knows when ! Because yes, on top of everything else, as you can see on the pictures, the sky was moody and the clouds started being menacing.

So they took us to Plaka, as they were sailing there. They explained it wasn’t too far from Elounda, and we could probably catch a taxi from there to go back to our hotel. We replied “HAPPILY, GET US OUT OF HERE” 😂

It gave us the opportunity to visit this little village, it was really cute and the views on the island were quite breathtaking. We dried ourselves in a nice café, because yes, the rain caught to us while on the boat 😅 what a trip.
