2026-11 Greece Move
Trip
- When Monday 2 November 2026, with no return date
- Where Athens, Greece
- Why Moving to Athens, after the 2026 Athens trip showed me what I want next
- How Delta from Minneapolis through Amsterdam, landing in Athens at 4:30 p.m. on 3 November
- Stay A bridge Airbnb in Kallimarmaro from 3 to 5 November, then with Sofia until 31 January 2027
Flights and the first stays are booked. A place to live after January is still to find.
Planning notes
Want to do once I am there
- Refill my Athena Transit Card
- Enroll in NKUA for Modern Greek language learning
- Settle for a week or two
- Find a place to live, by which point I should have my AFM tax number
Later
- An Athens aikido dojo or similar martial arts or movement practice, not to replace the current one, just to keep an embodied practice
- An Athens ceramics or pottery studio
- An Athens tattoo artist, not to replace Erin, just to keep that creative outlet
- An English-speaking therapist in Athens, since Margaret can’t continue once I’m abroad and this needs to be sorted rather than dropped
- A TTRPG or tabletop group, even if it starts as an expat one
