What It’s Really Like to Live on a Greek Island Year-Round
The image of living on a Greek island is a romantic one filled with sunny days, white sand, blue water, and lots of amazing Greek food and wine. But for people living the dream, is it really all that? When summer ends and the crowds grow thin, is Greek island living paradise rediscovered or hell on earth? To get a clearer sense of what full-time island life is really like, I spoke to two people who made the change from busy urban lives to trying their hand at Greek island living.

Finding My Comfort Zone on Spain’s Costa Blanca
When my family and I purchased a vacation home in Zaragoza, Spain, one of the nation's largest inland cities, I felt a stark contrast in daily life from what I’d grown up experiencing while visiting friends in the coastal, southern regions of the country. In my new home, I struggled to find English-speaking friends, I struggled with the language, and I struggled with the slower pace of life. It was all a culture shock, even though I knew exactly what I was getting into.
From Chicago Burnout to a New Life in Killarney, Ireland
When you first meet Zoé and Nate, you can see how much they love each other. But also, that they actually like each other. Not in the way that makes you want to gag. In this sort of sweet, supportive way. They’re just so… likable. But how did they get here… sitting across from me eating sushi at Mizu in downtown Killarney, Ireland? They dreamed a dream. And then made it a reality. And once you get to know them, you can just tell— these are the kind of people the stars align for.
The Mexican Beach City I Didn’t Expect to Love
We were floating in the Sea of Cortez just outside La Paz, Mexico. The water was a magical aqua blue that felt like it came right out of Avatar. Then we heard the unmistakable throaty bark of a male sea lion. Our guide wordlessly motioned for us to swim to him while putting a finger over his lips, reminding us to stay quiet. We were approaching a group of baby sea lions clustered together for protection. And Big Bubba was their guardian, there to make sure we bided by his rules.
Asunción, Paraguay: Big-City Living Without the Big Price Tag
I’m enjoying a coffee on a spacious dining patio surrounded by huge, colorful murals—bigger than billboards—and decorative trees three-and-a-half stories tall, strung with lights. It’s a grand setting. The cityscape around me is made up of upscale shopping malls, tall office buildings, and luxury apartment towers. The streets are dotted with Mercedes, BMWs, and Land Rovers. As I explore the neighborhood, I see very little litter and no graffiti.
Beyond the Islands: Four Greek Mountain Towns Worth Discovering
For the first few years I lived in Greece, my focus outside of Athens was visiting the islands. I danced in Mykonos, beach-hopped in Milos, windsurfed in Paros, and explored the story of the Minotaur in Crete. All of those trips were amazing, but it took me years to realize that some of Greece’s greatest gems are hidden on the mainland. After climbing Mount Olympus for the first time, I discovered that some of the country’s best-kept secrets are tucked away in its mountains.
The Opportunity Hiding in Japan’s Vanishing Villages
Across rural Japan, villages that once supported thriving farming communities are steadily emptying as younger generations move to the cities and the population ages. Schools have closed, businesses have disappeared, and homes have been left behind. The result is a growing inventory of vacant properties—known as akiya—that can often be purchased for astonishingly low prices, creating an opportunity that is attracting increasing attention from foreign buyers.
Why I’d Retire to Montenegro Before the Rest of Europe Catches On
Montenegro may be one of the last affordable places to enjoy a Mediterranean retirement before EU membership begins to reshape the market. After living in Montenegro’s northern neighbor, Croatia, for five years, I’ve lost count of how many times people told me, “Montenegro is like Croatia was 20 years ago.” Its sparkling Adriatic coastline, affordable cost of living, and growing international community have already tempted several of my expat friends to make the move across the border.
