Bio
I am one of many "half&halfs" in Paleochora, specifically half Greek half English. The product of the classic summer holiday romance cliche' "tourist gal falls in love with local stud and his town and decides to forsake her own and live in the sun!"
Paleochora is my very own piece of heaven on earth, a small town, home to around 3000 locals on the south west coast of Crete.
I grew up there, went to school there, and that's where all my friends and family still are, but I have lived in Birmingham since 2011 with my husband and 2 children after an unfortunately failed attempt to make a life for ourselves there.
Not one day goes by when "the village" doesn't cross my mind. After all, my heart is there, at home and always will be.
Paleochora has many well deserved sites, guides, blogs and social media pages dedicated to her and is loved by many thousands of people from around the world.
I feel that my half&half background however, would give a slightly different perspective to both serial and potential visitors and show off every single aspect of this place as it is just an incredible community full of beautiful people, surroundings and culture.
I intend my blog to be not only an inspiration for other people to discover Paleochora and fall in love with her forever, but also an ongoing tribute to her and hope I do her justice.
Enjoy, and please share your love stories!
