The Best Greek Island?!

ZAKYNTHOS vs. KEFALONIA! Which is the best Ionian Island?

Here is the final episode to wrap up our Greece Travel Guide series - with no ads!
I just wanted to say, while I am SO SO EXCITED to share our Bahamas and Med Sailing Series with you guys, sharing our road-trip 4-part-series has been really nice experience.

EURO TRIP: Cabrera National Park!! Ep 3

EURO TRIP: 24 Hours in Palma!! Ep 2

A huge thank you to Patreon Karen Jobson for recommending: 'Mercat de Santa Catalina Mallorca' - this beautiful market where we had breakfast this morning, before buying a bag full of affordable fruit and veg! Kelly and I then walked 25 minutes to a nearby Lidl (which is kind of like Aldi supermarkets!) to do a full provision. I am so blown away at how affordable groceries are here.. its a lot cheaper than Australia. We had a little send off dinner for Rohan last night before saying good-bye ...

But I really want to take a moment to thank you for joining me on this road-trip through Greece, I really needed this little buffer from sailing, before John and I b...

ROUGH MAP

Hey there Patreon-fam!

It’s been a busy week here at Kristina + John’s HQ! Been spending my days editing our next travel vlog: Corfu. After this episode, we’ll have one more episode as part of the Greece Road Trip series (the most AMAZING ISLANDS in Greece: Kefalonia/Zakynthos!) and then we kick off our Bahamas Series! Yay! And then while that’s running, we’ll be onboard the J55 filming for the next Euro series!

In the background we’ve also been juggling:

24 HOURS in a TOWN Built in the SKY!

Hi Patreons!

I’ll be posting up this Part 2 of our Greece road trip: Meteroa, this weekend, but thought I’d get in here early and ad-free for those who are into hiking. You should absolutely put this spot on your bucket list.

Greece was so affordable and easy to get around. The people were friendly and the food is fantastic. And if you’re keen for some sailing, there are so many charter options as you saw last year when we sailed through the Cyclades! Heaven on earth.

NEW NAVIGARE DISCOUNT CODE 🤍

Hey Patreon-fam,

BRAXTON IS ONBOARD!!! Yay! We’ve provisioned together, and we’re ready to explore the Bahamas with the sails up, as I type this! 🙌

If you’d like to utilise it, our new $200 discount code can be used on top of any other discounts you find!! The promo code is KRISTINASTRAVELS you can either punch it in ...

GREECE ROAD-TRIP SERIES!

While we're busy filming our next sailing adventure in the Bahamas, we have 3x episodes from our Greece road-trip adventure to share with you! We start in Athens, make our way to Meteroa, and then across to Corfu, Zakynthos and Kefalonia (where we find the MOST AMAZING BEACHES!!!)... I've been busy editing on the catamaran today, haha! It's been quite the experience, having to run the generator onboard to keep my laptop powered up, as there is no inverter onboard which is a bit of a bummer! A...

Patreon update from the Bahamas 🙂

WE’VE CHECKED IN…

and are well and truly on our way!! 🥰😍 Here’s a behind the scenes of our provisioning. We then had a little brief from the Navigare team, threw the lines off and are now anchored off of Man-O-War Cay tonight!

And the winner is..

Good morning from Marsh Harbour, in the Bahamas!

John and I arrived late this afternoon at around 5pm, and I've been up all night to get this one out today! (LOL.. it's currently 4:33am here... ) who said this trip was a holiday!? 🤣

What a special episode this one is.. our last episode in Australia. Can you believe it... 3,800 nautical miles later!? Never in my wildest dreams did I think we'd see so much, experience so many feelings, and be so grateful for facing my fear....
