IN THIS EPISODE:

Tim + Fin finally head off to the #basicbitch bucket list destination of Santorini, the picture perfect island in the Greek Cyclades. Tim's un-informed opinion of the island was a place to get instagram pictures taken while wearing linen shirts. In reality, the island held adventure aplenty: cliff diving, volcano trekking, donkey riding, mountain climbing, clear water free diving, scooter driving, and gyro eating. (Maybe gyro eating isn’t adventurous, but Oia was home to the best damn gyro in Europe).

After a final day spent day drinking on Perissa beach in Santorini, the Diemers manage to collect themselves enough after 18 glasses of wine at Santo Wines at sunset to board a ferry bound for Athens.

What is there to do in Athens, Greece? Why, flock to the Acropolis along with every other tourist within a 100 mile radius, of course! While at the Acropolis, the Diemers marvel at both ancient greek architecture and modern Asian Instagram models alike. As could be predicted, the historical significance of the Athens Acropolis is lost on Allison. Her obvious boredom stands as an insult to Zeus, who sends a vengeful pounding rainstorm to exact revenge.

To stay on budget the Diemers set up shop in Perissa where they could enjoy the black sand beaches of Perissa Beach. Beautiful Oia was only a short scooter trip away. A short drive will also get you to the top of Profitis Ilias, where one can stare down on the entirety of Santorini from Oia in the North to the home of Akrotiri light house on the southern tip.

While in Santorini, there is also time to hike to ancient Thira, as well as take a boat tour out to the volcano in the middle of the caldera. The Diemers also give a boat trip to hot springs a go, only to find out the that term “hot” is incredibly subjective.

The best activity the Diemers did in Santorini and possibly one of the most iconic for the island was to swim to an island in Amoudi Bay. Apparently made famous through YaYa sisters Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants or something, Amoudi Bay offers typically overpriced, tourist-focused restaurants. Following a slightly obscured path led the Diemers to an epic 15 foot cliff, crystal clear waters, and a dream location for throwing a drone up in the air.

If you’re still reading the description this far, just gonna drop this last thing: Riding donkeys up the stairs in Fira was the best use of $5 over the duration of the trip for the Diemers. However, they would like to warn you that you’ll likely have to throw away your clothes afterwards as the smell of sweaty donkey doesn’t wash out.

ABOUT US:
We’re traveling full time, living on our own terms and showing you the up-close-and-personal details of us figuring it out along the way. Sometimes it’s about navigating big, life-altering decisions. Sometimes it’s about navigating the seemingly lawless free-for-all that is driving in Hanoi. It’s moments of triumph and moments of panic. The good, the bad, the ugly – and most importantly, the real and real funny.

We’re not here to tell you “how it’s done.” Just how we’ve done it. And that whatever it is that’s calling you - the way you’ll do it is much more attainable than it may seem. We believe the world’s a more interesting place when people reject convention in favor of what they actually care about. This is us putting that idea to the test – one budget spreadsheet, RV renovation and mountain-peak drone video at a time.
