Hi.

Welcome to The Mark of Joy. I document my adventures in travel, and capture the joy I find. 

The joy is in the shared moments

The joy is in the shared moments- a reflection on cruising the Greek Islands.

Ship life, much like the culture of Greece, is about the experiences you share with others. This is not the trip you go on for soul searching. The beaches, the roads, the restaurants- they are all crowded. It’s about sharing a bottle of wine, dancing to the music, and being among friends old and new. Even when walking alone, the locals will stop you for a chat.

Greece provides tremendous beauty and delicious food. It's one of the top destinations for a reason and despite it being a little crowded, I recommend you go! The relationship between the architecture and natural land is stunning, the sunsets are practically a religious experience and the vibe feels great. 

Greece is definitely having it’s tourism moment right now, and for good reason. This is a great location to try if you need the sun and the sea. If you are in need of breath taking views and boisterous crowds. And if you need the options of culture and history mixed with drinking and music.
