From Our Trip We Learned:

About the impact of tourism on ecosystems and decision making.
About the "Greek myth" advertised by governments in order to increase tourism.
You can change your actions based on what you learned. It is never too late to become informed!
The conflict between preserving cultural identity for a region and working with a shifting global economy.
A slower paced day allows for more deep conversations with people and communities to connect.

Favorite Parts of Greece: Greece was absolutely beautiful! Exploring the coast via boats, hiking, kayaking, and a "water bike" was a truly incredible and unforgettable experience! Also, speaking with local educators, conservationists, and residents totally changed my perspective of this part of the world. And of course, there were lots of cats....

Ms. McNeil

This trip was incredible! The ecosysems, tpace of the day, the amazing meals, getting to learn with Stephanie, and the people we met all just made it

I feel so incredibly grateful for how much time people took to talk with us about their experiences. Each conversation we had was incredibly thoughtful and they really excited to educate us.

I don't think responsible tourism gets talked about enough! It also really shifted my perspectives to hear about what economies certain islands relied on being replaced solely to tourism.

THANK YOU BEF!!

We'd like to extend a huge thank you to the BEF for this incredible opportunity!
