💖 Foreign Affairs (The Main Event)

The core saga. These are the real, unfiltered stories of love, lust, near misses, and “what was that?” moments while living abroad.

Volumes + Characters:

Vol. 1: Vespa Guy
A whirlwind night with a hot stranger on a scooter. Ends in Santorini and disappointment.

Vol. 2: The Brit
A slow-burn connection that started in Greek class and got tangled in distance, doubt, and timing. Still unfolding.

Vol. 3: Mullet Man
The one who was supposed to just pass through.

Vol. 4: Mr. Almost
The one who should’ve been it. (Spoiler: He wasn’t.)

Vol. 5+: TBA
We’re just getting started, babe.

🚢 Cruise Control: A Mini-Series of Questionable Decisions (Vol. 0)

The prequel. Before Greece, before healing — there was tequila, karaoke, and several foreign men on a boat.

Think: Vacation brain + birthday cruise + chaos.

Characters include:
Balcony Makeout
Karaoke King
Romantic Santorini Bartender
Hot Sicilian from Cooking Class

🌴 Foreign Affairs: Rhodes as FRIENDS Episodes

The spinoff series. A girls’ trip turned limited series, complete with code words, hot men, chaotic energy, and sisterhood at the center of it all.
Think of it like if Sex and the City took a detour through the Greek islands and forgot to bring logic.

Best for:
Flirtation, friendship, female delusion, and Greek gods in linen pants.

Episodes include:
– The One Where She Got Free Cheesecake
– The One Where I Fell in Love With My Tattoo Artist
– The One With the Viking and the Father Figure Edit
– The One With the Bonafide Greek God

💬 Start here: RHODES: The One Where It All Began — the intro post that sets it all in motion.

📝 Letters from Greece

These are the soul notes. Where I write not about the men — but about me.
Self-reflection, big realizations, and what happens when you start listening to your gut louder than your doubt.

Best for: Quiet mornings, emotional resets, and journaling alongside me.
