Sometimes, as a travel blogger, you come across books that you may not have known, you were not surrounded by other bloggers and travel writers. Some of these travel writers have taken the plunge to write their trips in the form of a book, some are on travel advice like Victoria’s Travel Tipz Italian Style while others are memories on epic proportions like that of Savannah Grace Sihpromatum: I cultivated my breasts in China And others are snapshots of their travels and experiences with a new culture like Rebecca Hall‘s Greek girl.
Greek girl
Greek girl Talk about a move of an English woman in a Rural Greek village to teach English for a quarter. Always a little a free spirit traveling the world, black sheep from the family in the eyes of her older sister and now in their thirties do not know where to go from here. She takes a tefl course and when he was in a hurry to decide where to teach, she opts for the sun and the warmth of Greece. She did not know that she would find the sun, the blue sky and much more of what life is.
I immediately connected to Rachel for her Wanderlust and her lack of desire to live a conventional life and when she made the jump to head to Greece, I was excited for her. Even the eclectic distribution of characters is entertaining and seemed to be withdrawn directly from a Greek sitcom, of the boss hard to crack, Mrs. Stella, to the talkative, exuberant friend, Kaliopi, who strangely steals your heart and even the picturesque village without pretension that she calls at home for a year.
Greek girl It is a question of discovering the Greek lifestyle, from Fort Café to muddy to shameless honesty and the differences in culture between Greece and England, its house, from alcohol consumption to patriotism. It is also about finding where you really belong.
If there was a book that will make you want to go to Greece immediately at the same time as you can inspire you to find your place in the world Greek girl.
