The first taste of Chalkidi

After a one hour ride with Steve, driving a Romanian Duster, I got to Ormos Panagias.

Meet Steve, the Greek

Exploring the surroundings

This place is a natural harbor, lots of yachts are parked here, many people come for fishing.

Situated on the base of Sinthia, but on the other side compared to Nikiti

I saw cars from Romania, Serbia, Hungary, Bulgaria and, of course, most of them from Greece.

To the left is the Ormos settlement

The water is so clear, so blue and the cliffs surrounding this small laguna are just amazing for sightseeing.

I found a great spot to hide my backpack and I took my smaller one. The area is pretty, not crowded, but still populated.

Here is the parking place for the rich

And the fauna is also intriguing. I ate today half a kilo of figs. That whilst I deepened my feet in the salted water.

Cactus with fruits (not sure if edible or if ready)
Why are you here? This country has place only for olives
Don’t wanna step on one of these

What’s next?

I find this area good for camping, even though I don’t have a charge station, nor a source for water. Though there is a well supplied supermarket and lots of restaurants where I could ask for a battery recharge. The water is cheap.

I got lucky with the free WiFi from the houses and hotels. Thus I can save a lot of data and battery

Răzvan

I am Razvan. I graduated Computer Science in Romania and I worked as a Software Developer at Microfocus (previously HPE or HP) for a year. At my graduation I quit my job and I started again freelancing. I plan to travel for 3 years in different ways, to see the world, to rediscover myself, to set my standards, my goals and to explore the things I learned in school all these years. I love hiking and mountain climbing, though I want to learn skiing. Money are not what I desire in life, though I know they are important for my health insurance and my retirement. The food part and the accommodation I can handle for now. My young age helps me not complain and not being to demanding in my needs. I would like a world where money were not available and we could exchange goods. Anyhow coins are not a currency in my perception anymore, but time is always the unit measurement I use. I don't waste my time with strangers, companies or things I don't value. You can see me sometimes at different presentations sitting and listening to the speaker and the next 5 minutes you can see me walking out the building cause I see the presentation as a waste of my time. That's me. But I always try to give most of my time to people and causes that matter to me. I opened a blog in order to share my thoughts. I know I have so much to share, I am confident about myself and I want people to have access to my words. I know people can make money out of blogs by affiliating and advertising clothes products or by selling their own products. To be honest, I thought about ways I could earn something from this page, but I don't want to lie to you for the money. I guess in case I really appreciate something, I would just tell you about that. This is me. Răzvan
