      In no way am i close to mike’s amazing lifestyle but after studying one year in the capital i can’t wait to go back home to the quiet little town that has little population, no fast food but traditional greek food, beach and no honking cars.
      I guess everything can get tiring, even skyscrapers and luxury cars. Not for us though 🤣🤣🤣
