Our couples travel vlog continues with a Santorini things to do adventure hike. We walked the Fira to Oia trail, which is 10 km in length, and more beautiful views than we could imagine, all captured in video 4k.
Santorini, Greece is located in the Aegean Sea and is part of the Cyclades. We think the Santorini Caldera is one of the most amazing places in all of Greece and this hike gives you views the entire length of the Fira to Oia hike. The is the best hiking on Santorini and even better when it is shown in ultra hd.
We hope you enjoy the start of our 9-month European adventure and also go back and check out our adventures in Central America and seeing all 50 states during our Airstream journey across America.
Please join us for a 10-year journey and world travel vlog. We wanted to retire early and see the world and film our adventures in 4k video. Perhaps our world travel will give some ideas on what to do after retirement and where to travel in 2022. As older travel vloggers, we have different perspectives as we show you where to visit in 2022 and give you our experiences as we travel the world and show you where to travel now.
We hope you will subscribe, join us on our adventure, give us some likes and send us comments and suggestions. It means so much. Thank you and hope everyone has a wonderful travel 2022.

ABOUT US:
As the retirement travelers, we have always dreamed of traveling, but we never in a million years thought we would become travel vloggers and start a RU-vid channel. But, that is what we did! We work hard every day to become better and create something that others will enjoy. Having a community of friends, old and new, follow our journey is fun and exciting to us.
In 2019, we achieved our goal of visiting every state in the union in our Airstream. We also visited every national park in the lower 48. We are big believers in lists, so of course we plan to see the remaining 12 parks in the next few years.
In 2021, we made the big decision to extreme downsize to just a suitcase and a small backpack, each. We started our journey around the world beginning in Central America. We hope that over the next ten years, we will have seen many beautiful things, made many memories and new friends, and shared the experience with our children and grandchildren.
We hope you enjoy the journey with us. Drop us a note in the comments and be sure to hit subscribe! 🗺 🎥 🌮

Great question and a tough one given so many options. We only visited 6. Our fave was Folegandros, but it is quite small. All were beautiful. To answer your question, we would say Crete. It is large, beautiful and has many options (mountains, beaches, ruins, towns, etc to visit. Be sure to check out our Crete video if you haven’t seen it. Paros and Folegandros as well to give you perspective. Good luck and hope this helps. John and Bev
