Music I
2
can't really hear the sound.
3
It's in there.
4
Today we have a feta cheese pie.
5
No fun so much.
6
Oh, it's so good.
7
Look at this.
8
Hi, dog.
9
Just arrived at the famous Sarakiniko beach, which is also I think people call it the moon beach
10
because it is closest thing that looks like you're walking on the moon
11
or the surface of the moon with the beautiful opening to the sea
12
and i'm super excited this is probably like the most famous viral beach in milos really yeah
13
definitely it is i think 9 30 right now so not so we didn't get here super early there's already
14
a lot of cars parked here but it's a pretty big area
15
so i think you'll definitely like find a place to lay
16
down your um your blanket it's just gonna be a very
17
unique beach experience are you gonna Do you think you're gonna jump from like a high cliff today?
18
Do they have it here?
19
Yeah, I really wanted to jump from a cliff yesterday, but I got kind of shy.
20
I'm not jumping from no cliff.
21
Okay, well I might because while you're here you might as well do everything that the island has to offer.
22
We got to Milo's about three days ago.
23
I think today's our third day.
24
Yep, third day.
25
And it feels like we've already been here for quite a
26
while because there's just so much you can do
27
and there's the like all the sights and things are quite close together
28
so the driving distances aren't too crazy
29
which allows you to do a lot of things but also
30
when you're here like what do you do you wake up
31
you had your freddo cappuccino espresso you have a little pie of sorts
32
and then you head to the beach
33
and you're at the beach for pretty much the entire morning until you go get some lunch
34
and then you probably just chill for a little bit recharge from being in the Sun
35
and then you have a little sunset dinner at least that's
36
what we've been doing obviously there's plenty of things to do here
37
and there's a little some hiking and stuff
38
that maybe maybe we'll get into we're also going to Sifnos after I think we're here for three more days
39
and then we'll be in Sifnos for four days. So yeah.
40
Wow this beach looks incredible.
41
It definitely looks like the moon.
42
Oh and I think all those people over there are probably jumping off the.. wow this is crazy.
43
So I don't know what the heck.
44
So I have to go back to this hotel, but I am just a little bit more at home.
45
I do want to go back home because I love it.
46
It was a great job.
47
I love this.
48
One, two, three!
49
Here you go sister.
50
Guys, how cold?
51
Not bad.
52
Hi!
53
Hi.
54
Get up or should I do it?
55
How was it?
56
Oh, not so good.
57
Oh my god guys, we've been here for a few hours now and my head is so hot.
58
The sun is just beaming.
59
Been in and out of the water.
60
It's such a fun spot to be here and just it honestly wasn't that busy like there's been people here constantly
61
but it hasn't like I Don't know ruined the vibe or it feels too crowded or anything.
62
It's fun the fact that people are here You know nervously jumping in the water, building up the courage.
63
Just been jumping in this water all day.
64
The water feels absolutely amazing.
65
Finally got Yoni to jump in the water too.
66
He was a little hesitant for the first like hour and a half or so.
67
And yeah, I didn't make my way up.
68
Huh?
69
Okay, we're gonna go jump on a higher one.
70
But I think this is kind of it because it's pretty hot.
71
So I think after this we're gonna pack up and drive and grab some lunch
72
because we've been here for quite a bit now.
73
I think we got here around 9 and it's 12.30.
74
So I think we've had enough of this for the day.
75
And we gotta get some food, some water.
76
How are you feeling?
77
Hot and tired and I'm ready to go.
78
Not be in the sun and eat.
79
Not be in the sun and eat and drink cold water.
80
Oh, cold water.
81
It's gonna be Haida.
82
Look at this.
83
Like, where are we?
84
We're not even on Earth anymore.
85
This is like another planet.
86
Yeah, it definitely feels like it.
87
And looks like it.
88
Yeah, it looks like it.
89
Imagine if the whole planet was just like this with water.
90
I mean, I'm sure there's a planet out there that's like that, right?
91
Probably, right?
92
So many planets.
93
It's called Earth.
94
Oh my god.
95
A lot of strawberry slush for the road.
96
I'm gonna...
97
I don't think I've ever been this hot and sweaty in my life.
98
Gotta go get some food now.
99
put the oil on the cob add the black and brown mash the pumpkin
100
use the chicken add the egg add the egg
101
I just feel like it's nice to have a meal that you cook yourself when you stay somewhere, especially for a longer time.
102
After all the Greek salads that we've been eating, I had to make one.
103
It's definitely not looking the same as the ones that you get here, because I also mixed it, but it is my attempt.
104
And then we have, I don't know what meat this is, but it smells like in Rameen, it's In Romania we have mushk file,
105
which is like, I don't know, sliced up muscle if you translate it specifically.
106
Yeah, pretty much the same thing.
107
It's really good.
108
Okay, I can't tell if this is a good background or not, but we kind of are running late.
109
So here's my outfit for dinner.
110
I am obsessed with this outfit.
111
I'm wearing both of these linen shorts and top that I got from the same store, and I wish I knew what store this was.
112
random little linen shop uh in placa i think i just
113
loved this blue it's to me my favorite blue it's kind of like a klein blue
114
but a little bit lighter however it just pops even in on camera i think it looks bright
115
but in real life with tan skin it just looks incredible
116
and then i got these shorts that i've been wearing all day today
117
and a few days ago it's surprising that i like this color
118
because it's i'm not a pink girl i don't wear pink in general
119
and i would say this is like a pinky purple
120
but something about these colors are very vibrant
121
and i think with my tan skin now
122
that i'm summering it just looks really good
123
and you might recognize my shoes i'm wearing this is a full athens outfit um i'm wearing the ballerina flats
124
that i got well they kind of have a little heel
125
but i got these in athens and you guys know the secret
126
that they are actually two size too big for me
127
and yoni keeps insisting that they just look outrageous on my feet
128
but i do think that
129
if you don't know me you might just think i have big feet for my size
130
which i think is fine i will sacrifice someone thinking i
131
have big feet for my height um for how gorgeous these are i mean look
132
I gotta really back up for you to see um I think there's something very interesting
133
that happens with like the clothes that we pack for trips
134
when we're traveling and we all want to you know kind of like put our best outfits together
135
but you're also constrained by the clothes that you do bring with you
136
and I don't think I would have paired this whole outfit together if I was in New York
137
um because I would have my entire closet at my disposal
138
and there's something about being limited to the amount of clothes
139
that you have that makes you put outfits together
140
that you normally wouldn't which i really like about
141
when it comes to like traveling and
142
and um vacation outfits just been spending the afternoon kind of relaxing indoors it's just so so hot here
143
anytime between like 2 3 p.m and now
144
which is 7 i did a bit of work on my
145
phone i went through like all my photos from athens i it takes quite a bit of time actually
146
when you take so much content and so many photos
147
and videos to sift through everything select the best one
148
and basically put together like two posts i posted one carousel of a bunch of photos
149
and then i have a second carousel that i'm gonna post tomorrow
150
but it took me three hours to like sift through everything
151
and get all of those uh posts together it's only two posts
152
and then i got dressed for dinner yoni's finishing up getting ready he was working on the podcast
153
because we recorded an episode when we were in Athens before we left
154
so he was editing that and it's now uploading
155
and we're gonna drive over to dinner I really hope
156
that we can get a table at this place I was hoping to leave
157
or actually already be there now but you know we never are on time with anything
158
unfortunately in this family and um yeah that's that's the plan and tomorrow we're moving from this
159
stay and we're gonna go into a very beautiful amazing little fisherman boathouse
160
and i'm so excited
161
because we're gonna have direct access like to the water from the front door it's gonna be incredible i'm
162
so excited i'm actually working with airbnb We, it's a big reason why we came here because I got a work opportunity and another kind of like travel company.
163
So we put those projects together and that's why we sort of like made a trip to Greece.
164
It was a little bit of a last minute thing, but I've also wanted to come to Greece for so many years.
165
Okay, let me see what Yoni's doing because we gotta go.
166
I'm sorry.
167
I'm
168
going to
169
go to the next video.
170
Good morning.
171
Time to move out of this place.
172
Very cute.
173
I didn't want to show you a tour.
174
You hear that wind?
175
It's a windy, windy day.
176
We were actually supposed to have a boat tour today, but there are some really strong summer winds that they have in Greece
177
that kind of prevent you from doing water activities on the days when the wind is very intense, like today.
178
So we're not gonna do the boat tour.
179
It actually got cancelled.
180
So instead we're just gonna go eat and Swim basically what we did every single day that we've been here
181
I'm
182
going to
183
go to the next video.
184
I thought you'd be better than the first thing you could do.
185
I think you could do it more.
186
I'm so sorry.
187
I'm so sorry.
188
I'm so sorry.
189
I'm so excited!
190
I think it's so nice. Is it nice?
191
I don't know if you can hear me because it's really windy, but we just found this other beach called Algo Manda, Algo Mata, something like that.
192
And it's a classic sandy beach.
193
Since it's really windy, there's quite a lot of waves.
194
I think every beach we've been to up to this point hasn't really had any waves
195
and I grew up swimming in the Black Sea where there's often waves, sometimes pretty aggressive ones.
196
So I am excited to kind of just jump some waves.
197
It's a very specific experience.
198
You know, sometimes you want calm water, sometimes you want wavy water.
199
What's it going to be, babe?
200
There's nowhere to actually sit.
201
You just go there if you want to swim.
202
It has less waves though.
203
So what did you see over there?
204
I'll show you.
205
I'll show you.
206
I took video.
207
Is it less crazy over there?
208
Yeah, it's like a little cove.
209
So there's just like tiny little waves.
210
I'm not
211
going to be here.
212
You guys,
213
we just checked into our Airbnb.
214
And look at this place.
215
Sadly we don't have any friends with us.
216
I need to show you the best part, which you can probably hear.
217
Wait for it.
218
Wait for it.
219
What?
220
This is insane.
221
The water is like right here.
222
The door is right there.
223
Where the lap, oh!
224
Oh my god.
225
Oh look, look, look.
226
That's crazy.
227
It is windy today, so there's quite a bit of water on here.
228
But it's so insane to be staying right on the water.
229
We are the last house in Mandrakeia Fisherman Village.
230
This is kind of like a hotel room.
231
The way that they have put together this entire...
232
The owner came by and brought us watermelon pie from the same bakery that we went to this morning, but we actually didn't get to try the watermelon pie from there.
233
This one is the best one we've had so far.
234
Let's fill it up.
235
And then, get ready?
236
A fully loaded fridge.
237
Yogurt, water, milk, a bunch of drinks like wine and things.
238
This is an insane, insane treat to be able to stay here and get to work with Airbnb.
239
Obviously, this video is not sponsored by them, and I could not be more excited and more grateful.
240
It brought us to Greece, and it also brought us to this insane, insane place.
241
I have no words for how I feel, and getting to experience this is incredible.
242
So since we had a late lunch, as right now it's 5.30, just stopping at the store to go a few things for a late dinner
243
that I think we're just going to make at our new place.
244
Because we're probably not going to be hungry soon enough to go eat dinner somewhere, and I kind of just want to keep it simple tonight.
245
It says apple, no?
246
Another day, another ferrera.
247
Are you tired of this yet?
248
Because I'm not.
249
Today we are trying two new things.
250
This is the feta, simple feta bread.
251
We still got the feta swirl thing from yesterday.
252
Feta inside.
253
Oh yeah.
254
This is so similar to like Romanian pastries because we also use our own sort of kind of feta called telama
255
in so many different baked goods.
256
And it's just incredibly hard to find this exact sort of salty,
257
fresh cheese flavor in anything in the US.
258
It's delicious.
259
Hi.
260
Hi babe.
261
Okay.
262
Sorry I'm late to party.
263
What's that scene?
264
I'm so swimming
265
Hey guys, I haven't really talked today as I've been focusing on getting all of the videos
266
and content that I need for my partnership
267
so I've been kind of stressing just
268
because it now is finally nice out earlier it got cloudy
269
and I was just like it can't be that the one day
270
that we're staying here and I need to get a bunch of footage
271
and photos and everything it is a gloomy day
272
because you want it to be sunny like it finally is now the sun came out again
273
so been rushing to get as much of the work done as I need to.
274
Yoni's been helping me but he kind of like slept weird on his neck
275
so he is very stiff and can't really turn his head
276
and kind of uncomfortable but I think he's feeling a bit better now.
277
I thought the sun is out again.
278
It kind of feels like a brand new day.
279
I think I'm going to get in from here.
280
The water just looks so delicious and I just had some coffee and munching on some watermelon pie,
281
doing my sudoku, just having a little afternoon after we had lunch at Medusa which was super good,
282
really fresh, had some tuna steak, had some incredible octopus.
283
It was delicious.
284
I get in a little swim and cool off for the rest of the afternoon I think.
285
And then probably make dinner here with some of the ingredients that we got from the store yesterday.
286
And that's about it.
287
Have you ever heard of AMT?
288
What's AMT?
289
The We
290
made it to Sifnos.
291
The ferry continues its journey and we continue ours.
292
We gotta go pick up our rental car here
293
and I think we're gonna have another kind of chill day since it's pretty overcast.
294
We're kind of tired.
295
Yoni has his neck problems.
296
I am dealing with a cold sore
297
and we have a lot a lot of work and content
298
and things to catch up on so I think
299
because of the wind
300
because of the overcast it would be a perfect day to kind of just settle in here
301
because we have plenty of time to explore the island is even smaller than Milos so
302
I can't even really see what this angle looks like
303
but it's the next day slept okay i feel like the pillows here for some reason all the pillows
304
that we've had in all of our stays the pillows have either been like super flat
305
or very very very thick
306
which is why yoni even got like a neck kink right now
307
that is really hurting him he's like barely able to turn his head
308
which is why we kind of been taking it easy for the last couple days
309
because he's really not like feeling very good
310
and driving has been kind of like uncomfortable i'm excited to
311
explore syphnos today we were taking it easy yesterday kind of stayed in our main area
312
which we're staying in ano i think it's called ano petali
313
and it's a very good central area to stay in
314
because there's quite a few things to walk around here today
315
we're gonna also take it slow it does feel like sypnos
316
is a slow paced sleepy island compared to milos where it's a lot more like adventure
317
and so many beaches and it's also a bigger island
318
but i do think we did it the perfect way with milos first where we had
319
so much like energy we're so excited
320
and then now
321
that we've been um in greece for like over a week
322
it definitely feels like we're good to lean into the slow pace energy
323
and just kind of like take our time and um yeah today's sunday
324
so everything's kind of opening up a bit later we are gonna get breakfast at this place
325
that we had lunch yesterday and it's one of the places
326
that i had saved so i didn't even realize
327
that our airbnb was so close to
328
that restaurant syphness is also known for ceramics
329
because it naturally has a lot of clay it's a very clay rich island
330
and there's a bunch of ceramic studios
331
that i really want to check out um
332
because as you guys know i'm working on my plate
333
and bowl ceramic collection i have a bunch of little places to save we'll probably drive to those
334
and i think i'm gonna film maybe like today maybe what
335
we're doing tomorrow maybe do a little bit more of like a sporadic filming approach to being here
336
because i feel like i have filmed for milos quite a bit
337
and i'm gonna have so much editing to do
338
when we go home really looking forward to being here
339
and having some nice peaceful moments at the end of our trip before we head back
340
because I'm gonna miss this so so so much.
341
But let's go get breakfast and explore the island for the day. so so
342
I'm sorry.
343
The Thank
344
you.
345
Thank you.

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?
Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
