Mistakes not to make in Greece

ByAMANDA CASTILLO June 18, 2022February 19, 2024

These aren’t really fails as much as they are adjustments I would like to make if I were visiting again. Taking any USD money! In both Santorini and Crete it wasn’t accepted anywhere. Only Euros were taken as a form of payment. I had actually read many blogs before our trip that were recommending to…

Stretching in Flight If you’re like me and most people, sitting for long hours at a time can leave you stiff and uncomfortable if not taking the proper care, even more so on a long haul flight. When we have a long haul flight coming up we prepare as much as we can but do…

✨ Just dined at Farmhouse Thai Kitchen in Oaklan ✨ Just dined at Farmhouse Thai Kitchen in Oakland, and it was an unforgettable experience! 
🍽️ The food? Absolutely next-level—crafted by Chef Kasem “Pop” Saengsawang, a Chopped Champion from Food Network’s “Thai Takedown” episode bringing bold Northern Thai flavors with stunning presentation. 
🇹🇭 The ambience is a total vibe: lush décor, vibrant colors, and eye-catching details everywhere you look. There’s even a full-on laser light show and booming music—fun for some, but honestly, the food shines so bright it doesn’t need all the extras. Still, a feast for all the senses! 
😋 We tried the Yellow Curry with Chicken, Pad Thai with prawns and the famous blue rice but everything passing by looked incredibly delicious!
👍🏼 If you’re in Oakland, I highly recommend this restaurant. Make reservations in advance because the place gets packed!

Find your flow at @theyogabarn —Ubud’s ultimat Find your flow at @theyogabarn —Ubud’s ultimate hub for yoga, sound healing, and holistic wellness. 
🌿One of the best parts of staying @alayahotels in Ubud? Having The Yoga Barn just around the corner! Their class selection is incredible, and the property itself is pure magic. All I have to do is walk next-door literally!
🧘🏽‍♀️ I was able to join a Yin Yoga & Sound Meditation class, where the soothing sounds of the river outside made the experience even more immersive. The energy here is warm, welcoming, and so grounding, it’s hard to want to leave.
✨ Beyond yoga, The Yoga Barn is a full wellness sanctuary—offering healing treatments, a detox center, and a café.
☀️ Whether you’re here for movement, meditation, or a mindful meal, this place is a must-visit for any yogi in Bali!

😆 I thought I’d be the ultimate minimalist with a carry-on for 3 weeks, but guess what? I packed all this cute stuff, and the reality? I wore nothing but bathing suits 95% of the time.
☀️ Bali life is all about beach vibes, pool days, and endless sun, so my suitcase? Basically should be just full of swimwear and sunscreen.
😜 Lesson learned: Keep it simple, but also, I mean, who can resist packing all those cute outfits for Bali, just in case!
