A Trip to Corfu in Greece, Travel Pet Pe...

ETJ English
About this episode

In this episode of Journeys with Elliott, we talk about my recent trip to Greece, the sights, sounds smells, and everything in between. 

I also discuss some ''pet peeves'' - random things that I find annoying when I'm travelling.

Finally, I will read another section from my travel journal - my first day on the motorbike tour I did in Vietnam with some local tour guides, who I now consider as family.
