Greece

I spent a summer studying neuropharmacology in Athens by the week, and on the Greek islands by the weekend. My favorite places to visit were Santorini. I guess I am a romantic. I had the ideal time there going cliff diving, racing donkeys with two of my colleagues up the steep Santorini mountains (one of them cried, sorry :P), riding a vespa with a couchsurfer down the Oia mountains at 4am and taking a sailboat to watch the Oia sunset, hike volcanos and return to the city to dance and drink the night away. In mykonos, I had a blast meeting Italian sailors at Benny Benassi's birthday party event as he DJ'd at Cavo Paradiso. Let's say I got on a vespa again, paroused through the whole city, and as I returned back to Athens to return to classes lost one colleague on the way in Mykonos. Of course she made it back the next day, but it was a memory to last a lifetime. :)
