ROVING JAY

The ferry that connects the Greek Island of Kos to Kalymnos departs from the Mastichari Ferry port. We got there by bus, and spent a few hours in a taverna waiting for our ferry.

We spent a week on Ile D’Aix, a French island near La Rochelle. I had sewing projects to do, and Red had painting projects. Plus catching oysters and beach combing.

Looking back at a Bob Marley sketch I did back in Los Angeles, discovered in an old iPhoto library I’d forgotten about. #TBT

We stepped back in time with a private tour of the fortified village of La Couvertoirade. This castle dates back to the Knights Templar.

We spent two days chilling in Clermont Ferrand, exploring the old town area and eating Italian and Turkish food.

A weekend break in artistic and creative Montpellier in the south of France. Wandering the cobbled streets of old town, meeting the locals and walking our socks off.

Exploring Toulouse, the pink city in January. A French cultural immersion and welcome hospitality from the locals.

We weren’t going to let a French Rail Strike get in the way of our plans to travel around France for three months.

London may be one of Europe’s most expensive cities, but there are still plenty of budget options available to make sure your stay doesn’t break the bank.
