Discovering eunoia in Kos, Greece
I draw a breath. Instantly hit with hot earthiness, toasted pine and a distant whiff of salt, I’m trying to have my eyes wide open to fully take these new surroundings in — but every inch of every thing seems to be drenched in blazing sun rays. It takes a while until my vision adapts a little, and an all-white backdrop starts to break into detailed pieces — magenta drops of blossoming bougainvillea upon white-washed walls of bucolic buildings, dusted green of old olive trees, shimmer of the sea in the distance.
Eunoia in Paros, Greece
The sun cheekily slips through the curtains gently flapping against the calm, sea breeze. It catches my skin and a warm sensation rushes over me. It really does know all the slick moves to get me out of bed. As does the sea - with its fresh winds and distant sounds. A seasoned team they both are.
