Γεια σας! Geia sas! Greetings! It is so nice to meet you. My name is Eastwood Yeboah, and over the next four months I have the amazing opportunity to take you on my journey to Athens, Greece.
Growing up in Montgomery County, Maryland, I always remembered meeting people from backgrounds that were different from my own. Learning about new places and lifestyles has always been something important to me, especially having parents who are both immigrants. Their stories have shown me just how interesting our world is, sparking a passion in me to explore other cultures around the world while never leaving a stone untouched.
As I got ready for this new adventure, I knew that Greece, with its ancient history, beautiful scenery, and warm-hearted people, would be the perfect place to share with all of you. From learning Greek in class to exploring historic sites, or tasting delicious Mediterranean food, I am really excited and can’t wait to bring these experiences to life for you! My hope is that together, we will learn, grow, and create lasting memories that remind us of the beauty that exists beyond our own corners of the world. Thank you for joining me and I look forward to talking again soon!
