My name is Efstathia, Estee for short! I grew up in a very Greek family! I was brought up around the Greek language, Greek food, and Greek dance. My mom lived in Greece for about a year or so. My grandparents were immigrants from Greece and were the largest Greek influence in my life, I was very very close to them. They both passed away about ten years ago and since then, I have been longing to go to Greece so that I get to experience my heritage.
This July, my cousin is getting married in Crete, Greece and her baby is going to be baptized! I have never been there, so this is my chance to go! If I was able to make it there, I would be able to meet some of my Greek family for the very first time. It would be the trip of a lifetime that not only would be loads of fun, but would be so educational and such a learning experience about my own life and where my family comes from! Please help me get there! Thank you.
