Check out the following video we made of our recent trip to Lesvos, Greece! It was an unforgettable experience, to say the least!
As a flight attendant, you would think that travel to exotic destinations and international locales would be a given. Sadly, as our latest trip has shown, not all flight attendants travel for fun. My wife runs a small tour agency that caters to flight attendants called Crew Travelers, and we are currently in the middle of our trip to Lesvos, Greece. So far it has been an amazing experience getting to know all the flight attendants. I feel like flight attendants are consistently the coolest people you can meet.
I’m still riding the high of emotions, breath-taking views, and the delicious fried feta pies. This month we successfully completed our first Crew Travelers’ trip to Lesvos, where a group of strangers from all around the world became a family, as they joined together to help in the refugee crisis during the Dirty Girls Beach Clean Up. Of course we also took time to explore Molyvos, and fell in love with the Lesbians (C’mon, you didn’t think I would write grammatically incorrect sentences, did you?).

It was late when we arrived, and when we arrived at the crew hotel, we quickly changed and ran out the door to explore the city. Most places were closing or closed but we got a chance to hit up a little restaurant called Las Vegas and enjoy some wonderful Cuban food! Then we went out and found a little hookah spot! It was a wonderful night!
I remember us planning this trip, and being so excited to visit bourbon street! Sadly that never happened because we ended up having a short layover and we were too far from downtown to even make the attempt. We’ve since been there but I remember we were both disappointed that we didn’t make it out!
