What is one life lesson you learned that changed your life? ✌️

[@1970joedub]

Trust your gut instinct. Your GI tract is now being considered one’s “second brain”. Listen to it.

[@fgreek3395]

I agree with you joe.. 💯 %.. watching here from Greece

[@xstset]

Greece the last Paradise on Earth 🇬🇷🇬🇷❤❤

[@robertwilliams3730]

My wife and I have been fortunate to have lived in Crete for almost fifteen years. The " secret " of life here is to adapt. Our first meeting with our solicitor was scheduled for ten AM we, in our British way, arrived at 9.50 and our lawyer, in the Cretan way, arrived at 10.20! Slowly, slowly we adapted to this relaxed and casual lifestyle. But make no mistake the Greeks are hard working and resilient people who have overcome many obstacles. But work here is seen as a way earn a living not the reason to live. Family, family, family is the mantra in the home as a matter of survival. The village and the country come together in times of crisis and this has been tested again and again. We have, as you have, learned their values.

[@SunnyKindJourney]

Thank you Robert for sharing this. What you told is so true, we really know what you mean, as we have experienced it ourselves. Even if Fra's culture is somehow very similar to the greek one, adapting to that casualty and relaxed lifestyle was harder than expected. It's incredible though how much it can teach about the value of life quality. We are now incredibly grateful for that time and these lessons! Can we ask you why you decided to move to Crete originally? 😍

[@robertwilliams3730]

Having travelled around Greece over many years Crete seems to have all the good things in Greece distilled to it's very essence. Hard working, a disregard for unimportant rules, a caring sharing attitude to family and a genuine welcome to visitors. A casual remark about how good a lemon tree looks and a bag of lemons are on your doorstep the next morning. Nothing asked in return just a the pleasure of giving. Enquire about a son, daughter or family member and out comes the picture album and an afternoon spent talking and laughing. Greece is Greece but Crete is Crete. 😊

[@eleftheriosmas]

10:20 is considered punctual😂. Thx for your kind words!

[@georgiosa.9893]

Greetings from Greece! I hope you had really good time in our country!

Yes, we have so many amazing memories apo tin Ellada! 🇬🇷💖 Hope things are okay there!

´Ελα στην Ελλάδα 😀 It means come to Greece

[@rrocketman]

@@user-fi4mh9re9c Yes ela ela come to Greece!👌

[@authenticworldacademy]

Greece sounds amazing! When I travelled to Colombia I learned that in North America we have way too much food at our disposal and it often means overeating or making bad eating choices. Plus, in Colombia I felt so much more at peace. There too they have a slower pace. I miss it!

[@SunnyKindJourney]

This is exactly the beauty of travelling and learning other cultures! You learn sooo many things and understand that we taky so much for granted in our lives and society. Thank you for watching and sharing your lessons as well!❤

[@anastasiabrousali539]

Hello from Greece what a nice video I'm happy that you enjoyed our country and our culture 😊

[@SunnyKindJourney]

Γεια σου! You have such a beautiful country. We are glad you liked the video! Thanks for watching! 😍

[@elgreco8074]

As a Greek who grew up his whole life abroad, I found this very refreshing. Apart from all the life lessons you mentioned, one of the most valuable lessons my parents taught me was to appreciate and learn from other cultures. Embracing our differences helps us see things from a new (and more positive!) perspective.

[@SunnyKindJourney]

Can't agree more with that lesson! 100% true! 🙌 We have learnt so much by travelling and meeting people from other cultures!

[@nikprntss]

Greece is glorious ! The people of Greece are genuine, True to life, love and most importantly to music. Opa!

[@SunnyKindJourney]

Yessss ❤🙌

hello greeting from thessaloniki, the majority of greeks are nice and kind i hope you had niece time here and it will be nice to vist our city. have a nice day and stay safe

Oh, the beautiful Thessaloniki! 😍 I had the privilege to visit your city back when we were living in Greece. Such a wonderful place full of nice people! Sorry Athenians but Thessaloniki>Athens 😉 - S

I so love hearing about your experiences as it took me back to backpacking through Greece. There is so much happiness and peace in slowing down, being present and really absorbing where you are and who you are with. Can't wait to be able to travel again and meet amazing people around the world. Happy to find your channel today!

[@SunnyKindJourney]

Thank you so much for this comment! I feel like we understand each other perfectly!😍

[@amandapelletier5815]

That's really interesting that you brought up how the culture is more laid back in Greece. I think it's always interested to have that change of pace every once and awhile and get a new perspective on time

[@SunnyKindJourney]

Yes! Changing the pace: sometimes faster, sometimes slower, is very important! We live in a society where we should be productive and efficient 100% of the time. This is not just possible so finding the balance is really important. Glad you liked the lesson! 😊

[@janeydoe901]

I just realized now watching this video that 99% of the time when you go to a restaurant- taverna in Greece with your friends or family, you are going to share your food!! We never order a meal just for ourselves, we always discuss it all together before ordering. This seemed strange for my foreigner friends, but for me is extremely normal. Food and taste is an experience, not just a necessity, that should be shared, like a good joint! :P

[@SunnyKindJourney]

Yeah for me as a Finn this was something completely new 😅 But after seeing the positive sides of it, I now do it even outside Greece with my friends 😊 Thanks for watching!

[@janeydoe901]

Wow, such a life changing experience you had. Thanks for sharing!! I have had a few life lessons- I definitely believe that we should carpe diem and enjoy every day that we can.

[@SunnyKindJourney]

Totally agree with you! Being here and now makes life so fulfilling❤

[@adibabedini3635]

Money management is the best one for me. It will make a big difference in our lives if we know how to manage our money. If not, we are literally doomed for life. Great one!

[@SunnyKindJourney]

So true. It's a really important skill to have! Glad you liked the video! 👍

[@carina.belmonte]

Wow what a beautiful video!!! Thank you for sharing. Such a great lesson. I can saw making mistakes.

[@SunnyKindJourney]

Thank you for watching, Carina! 😊

[@captaingreek]

Nice video. The only thing I would like to comment about is the first thing that you mentioned; slowly slowly. It is true, in general but you can see it usually outside Athens. If you are slow in Athens someone will get in front of you in line, you will stay out of the metro wagon, or bus, you will not find a parking space etc. The quality of everyday life in Volos, where you lived, is much better than in Athens. But of course there are less opportunities.

[@SunnyKindJourney]

Having been to Athens more than five times, I agree with you. There the life seems to be more like a typical metropolitan busy life rather than laid back. I travelled to more like 20-30 cities in Greece during my time there and the σιγά σιγά lifestyle was very visible especially in smaller cities and in the islands. I hope their mentality will not change! Thanks for commenting! 🙌

[@canexplores940]

thanks for sharing your time- I learned my nana and love to meet new people but they don't always understand my struggles so she helps me with people

[@SunnyKindJourney]

Great to hear that she helps you. I'm sure you can learn a lot from her!😊 Thanks for watching!

[@MissPetiteRu]

Awesome video. Life lesson I learnt that changed my life. Is the beauty of other cultures & trying understand & connect with others. This made me fall in love with travelling. 💛

[@SunnyKindJourney]

We are glad you like the video! Very beautiful life lesson. You can learn so much from other cultures by travelling and meeting new people!❤

[@MissPetiteRu]

@@SunnyKindJourney Totally agree 👍

[@ludovica_colella_coaching]

Great video! you two are such an inspiring couple! One of the lessons I learnt in London is very similar to your step 1 !I learnt how to strike a balance between work and social life as in a city like London can be very challenging not to get too absorbed by work all the time!

[@SunnyKindJourney]

That's great to hear! Finding balance in this modern world is not easy but it is very important for mental health. Thanks for sharing!😍

[@rrocketman]

Very nice video guys, I will subscribe because of this✌️

Thank you! We are so happy you liked it! 😊 It seems we need to make more videos about Greece 🌞

[@aristosmiliopulos8886]

Good friends

[@rizosplayz]

Thank you for sharing your experiences. If I am allowed, the chapters you mentioned can be translated somehow like: 1. Σπεύδε βραδέως 2. Χρόνου φείδου 3. Λαβὼν ἀπόδος 4. Σεαυτὸν εὖ ποίει 5. Πλούτῳ ἀπίστει 🤞

Greece (my country) could really be a heaven on earth but for the last 45-50 years we had uncapable untrusty leaders to govern us and we ended here....

You are so similar to Matpat!

Hahaha 😂

[@robsinden100]

Brilliant, wise words from two lovely young people. I wish I’d followed this path when I was younger rather than getting side tracked by work and money. I’d highly recommend checking out the FIRE movement, (financial independent, retire early). I hope Mr Money Moustaches TED talk that tells you how he retired at 30 will inspire you.

[@SunnyKindJourney]

Thanks for the advice 😊

[@prague394]

You guys sound Greek. Where are you from?
