I can honestly say that I've never flown anywhere to meet a man. But my co-writing partner, Alisa over at @gothamgirl, did. LOL Her experience went a bit more sideways than yours, though. Lordty. And OMG, what is with these dudes disappearing! So scammy. I'm sorry you experienced that, but the alternative seems a lot better. And maybe I haven't deep dived your site enough, but have you talked about the kind of work you do that allows you to live there?

Oh my gosh, I’ll have to go read some of her stories! Yeah, it’s crazy because I’ve met them in person. We’ve continued communication. It’s so weird but at the same time I think that maybe they’re just not used to somebody following through? I don’t know.

I don’t really talk about it much on here, but I am a property manager and I work completely remote ☺️

Ah, nice! My landlord lives like 50km away, and I kinda know someone who earns their money with being a landlord and can afford travelling as well :)

Anna, this is beautifully honest and so beautifully YOU. 💙 What a powerful reminder that sometimes, the love and adventure we’re truly meant to find isn’t in a person but in the moment, the place, and the courage to keep choosing ourselves. I love how you turned what could’ve been heartbreak into a celebration of freedom and discovery. Santorini sounds like it held space for your healing and joy in the most unexpected way.

Thank you for sharing this, reminding us all to trust the journey, even when the script flips. You’re inspiring, always. Can’t wait to see where your heart leads next. 🫶🏼

Not flown anywhere for private reasons as of yet, but well, years go I was turned down by someone when I was in Berlin. We would meet at a café there like at 2 p.m. but then he would not show up; I thought he was late but then picked my phone to see he had sent me a message at like 11 am to tell me he would not have time… well okay that was not a big issue after all because later he told me he had a friend.
