My First Home in Greece: From Culture Shock to Gratitude #greekisland #smallyoutuber #expat

Join me as I share the wild, funny, and heartfelt story of my first home in Greece. From a wedding in Florida to a concrete jungle apartment in Athens—this is the untold journey that led us to our island dream. Cooking fails, cold winters, and a “Snoopy” space heater couldn’t stop us. If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to start a life from scratch in another country, this one’s for you. 💛 Subscribe for more stories from our life in Greece. 00:00 Just Before Sunset in the Garden 00:39 Why I'm Sharing This Story 01:20 Our Wedding in Florida (1989) 02:12 Arriving in Athens (and Losing Everything) 03:10 First Impressions of Agalio 04:36 Living in a Sea of Cement 06:00 A Post-War Housing Crisis 07:18 My First Greek Apartment 08:45 Culture Shock Hits Hard 09:48 The French Washing Machine Struggle 11:00 Cooking Fails and Celsius Confusion 12:08 No Heat, No Insulation, Just Snoopy 13:20 Fighting with Fuses 14:08 A Call with My Dad Changed Everything 15:30 Our First Days on the Island 16:22 Cleopatra Showers and Camping Kitchens 17:05 I Miss the Hungry Years 17:50 This House, This Life, This Dream
