Not wishing to jump on anyone's discussions for my own gain, but I have a story coming out next week discussing over-tourism, wine and personal quandaries surrounding travel and I'm excited for it to come out and spark conversations.
I always wanted to go to Santorini, and was considering a Greek island adventure this autumn.
But after reading this (and other similar articles about over-tourism on the island), I just don't think I can go.
