No filter needed for this one! Although I’m sad to be back at home, I can’t be more grateful to live in Canada. #yeggers #edmonton #sunrise #edmonton

Last day in Greece. Working in the laundry at Ritsona refugee camp, spending the last night with my girls and Lucy and I showing off our gift from the amazing Mrs Fortini. #greeklife #chalkida #ritsona #volunteerabroad #theurbangypsy

Road trip! We weren’t allowed to go to camp today because of unrest so instead we hired a car and did a road trip to Kymi and Kalamos. #greeklife #roadtrip #eviaisland #kymi #kalamos #wanderlust #theurbangypsy

Just a few days left in Greece. Trying to savor every moment! Here are a few from camp and after work in Chalkida. #chalkida #ritsona #volunteerabroad #greeklife #theurbangypsy

Are you getting sick of my photos yet? 🥴 Here are a few shots from today. #chalkida #greeklife #volunteerabroad #theurbangypsy

Back in Chalkida ... #chalkida #greeklife #volunteerabroad #theurbangypsy

Another day on the beautiful island of Hydra. A bit of a hike, some more time near the sea, accepting my status as crazy cat lady and finally meeting up with my friend Kim after 20 years!!!!!!!! #hydraisland #hydragreece #islandlife #greece_travel #friendsforever

Hydra in a nutshell! Simply AMAZING! I wish we had more time to spend a few more days here! #hydra #hydragreece #greekislands #greece #exploregreece #theurbangypsy

Another day at camp with the CCS crew. Sally and I finding interesting outfits and a box full of mouse poo. Xenia doing the laundry. And a late train ride to Athens where we caught the ferry to Hydra! #ritsonarefugeecamp #crossculturalsolutions #ccsgreece #trainride #greece #theurbangypsy

What a day! These pics are driving to and from camp. Sally pretending she’s on a weight loss commercial with the clothes in the warehouse. Me trying to fix the chain fence by weaving tree branches into the fence so men can’t see into the Female Friendly Space. Us girls in front of Megasthenous - that’s where we live. And a night out with Mrs Fortini and her daughter. Our new Greek family! ❤️❤️❤️ #greeklife #volunteerabroad #chalkida

For obvious reasons I can’t take photos in the camp so these few are from after a days work. Here are my ladies ~Xenia, Maria and Lucy (Sally)

Living the Greek life! Waking up in Chalkida, this is our view from the balcony. The next two are in camp where we are sorting donated clothing and putting it out for residents to have. Maybe don’t send a prom dress to refugees!🥴 and the last pic is Lucy from UK and Maria from Mexico. #chalkida #greece #volunteerabroad #ritsonarefugeecamp #theurbangypsy

Day 2 proof of life ~ on our second full day here we were unable to go to camp as some violence broke out. Instead Lucy and I got lost trying to find the waterfront.

Tourist for a day! Athens, Greece is a pretty remarkable city. #athens #greece #parthenon #psiri #touristforaday #theurbangypsy

First few glimpses of Greece. Arriving is always a whirlwind but after settling into the apartment and walking around town I already feel like I’m at home. #greece #chalkida #ccs #volunteerabroad #explore #theurbangypsy

What a view from the train today while crossing the river! Thank you Edmonton. 🙏 #yeggers #edmonton #rivervalley #myyeg #sunset #theurbangypsy

For those of us who live in a safe country like Canada, we truly have won the lottery. These past few weeks I’ve had the pleasure of ‘adopting’ 2 amazing individuals from Africa. Both have received a coveted scholarship through WUSC where they will be studying at the UofA and automatically have become Permanent Residents. Both come from war torn countries and have been living in a refugee camp of almost 200 000 people for years. Meet Joseph and Claudine. Joseph is originally from South Sudan and Claudine, even though her homeland was Burundi she was born and raised in refugee camps throughout East Africa. They now have such a bright future and truly can teach us how grateful we should all be for growing up in a country where there is peace. #iamcanadian #grateful #welcometocanada #refugeeswelcome #theurbangypsy

Happy International Dog Day...ok so he’s thinks he’s a dog sometimes! #dogsofinstagram #internationaldogday #crazycatlady

Today is World Elephant Day. I feel absolutely privileged to have seen both the African and Asian Elephant in their natural habitat. They are beautifully amazing creatures and we really need to raise awareness for them and stop poaching. #worldelephantday #elephants #asianelephant #africanelephant #savetheelephants #theurbangypsy

August 8, 1969 was the day that these two lovebirds tied the knot. 50 years later they still continue to show their love and are cherished by their three daughters and four grandchildren. Happy Anniversary Mom & Dad ~ you two truly make my world go around. ❤️
