“To my mind, the greatest reward and luxury of travel is to be able to experience everyday things as if for the first time, to be in a position in which almost nothing is so familiar it is taken for granted.” – Bill Bryson


Many life experiences have led me to this place and time… join me as I spend a summer in a small village in Greece where generations of my family have lived and where I now hope to put down a few roots. Along my journey I will write letters to you to share my experiences and hopefully inspire you to create your own wherever you live or travel…
Dear Friend,
Fig season has arrived. We have three beautiful fruiting fig trees in our garden and we have been anticipating their ripening all summer. I had never tasted a fresh fig before. They are in one word... delectable. Something of a cross between a straberry and a peach in flavor. They are sweet and juicy and have little seeds that sort of pop on your tongue. I like to pick a few in the evening and put them in the refrigerator to cool overnight... enjoying them for breakfast in the morning. There is something so indulgent about being able to pick and ejoy frest fruit from your garden. I feel completely spoiled...
XOXO,
Karen June

      I am a wife, mother and artist living in the Boston area. My adventurous spirit is taking me to a small village in Greece this summer to experience my heritage, a closer bond with my son, creative freedom and anything else that comes my way. Friends and family will join me along the way and I hope you’ll join me too through this blog…
