At the moment as my friend Graham and I head further and further out into the the Outer Sporades of the Greek Islands and into the Abandoned Islands to the north in Aegean, I am in love with this sea and the islands that fill it. We are in Kokinakastro Bay and expecting strong Meltemi winds tonight from the north which could mean an uncomfortable swell from the Southeast, where we are not sheltered.
Kokinakastro Minor, the island outside the bay is interesting in that there have been human remains and tools dating back to 100,00-150,000 B.C.E – on a nearby spit are the ruins of what archaeologists think was the ancient city of Ikos. I’ll write about all of that at some point…for now, for this weeks Vagobond Travel Museum, I will look back at some of my travels in Greece. I will add future adventures and stories in Greece as time goes on…

About Vago Damitio
Vago Damitio (@vagodamitio) is the Editor-in-Chief for Vagobond. He jumped ship from a sinking dotcom in 2000 and decided to reclaim his most valuable commodity, time. He bought a VW bus for $100, moved into it and set out on a journey to show the world that it was possible to live life on your own terms. That journey took him from waking up under icy blankets in the Pacific Northwest to waking up under palm tress in Southeast Asia. Three years later, his first book, Rough Living: Tips and Tales of a Vagabond was published. After diving into the Anthropology of Tourism and Electronic Anthropology at the University of Hawaii (with undeclared minors in film and surf) he hit the road again in 2008. Since that time,he's lived primarily in Morocco and Turkey, married a Moroccan girl he couchsurfed with, and become a proud father. He's been to more than 40 countries, founded a successful online travel magazine (this one!), and still doesn't have a boss. Life is good. You can also find him on Google+ and at Facebook
