Yes I did indeed steal ‘imzadi’ from Star Trek TNG. Yes, Star Trek TNG is the best Star Trek and yes, I do wish I was Deanna Troi. And the actress, Marina Sirtis, is Greek, like me. Coincidence??????????? I don’t think so. • here's the transcript • here are the greek lessons • drop me a message: sixthousandislands (at) gmail (dοt) cοm   • The house in Antiparos • Zaha Hadid • Rachet & Cla...

I too subscribe to the philosophy that your birthday is Your Day, you should eat / do / see / make whatever you like. And get cute gifts and cute cards and cute messages. Or do nothing. Or do it all. IT’S YOUR DAY! • here's the transcript • here are the greek lessons • drop me a message: sixthousandislands (at) gmail (dοt) cοm Support the show

YEEESSSSSSS it is *THE* Luca Lampariello on the islands! All throughout the episode you can hear his absolute passion and commitment to languages, but also to learning, to self-development, and to living a great life with gratitude.

Some people are natural at doing business and I am so happy for them but I CANNOT RELATE, please lock me up in a studio to do lessons and podcasts and editing all day long. It’s taken me ten years and three autoimmune diseases to finally separate the art from the artist and not die from guilt if I hadn’t sent five newsletters and four instagram posts that month. Work can wait. • here's the tr...

There's a very specific sense of joy, security and pride in knowing you come from a country with exquisite cuisine. When I’m in Greece, I never worry about what and where I’m eating; I always know it will be excellent. Or, at least, very very very good. The list in this episode is not exhaustive, I forgot to mention ΑΠΑΚΙ and ΞΥΔΑΤΟ ΛΟΥΚΑΝΙΚΟ, the best meat dishes ever ever ever. • here'...

I used to haaate the phrase ‘’the grass is greener where you water it’’ because, like, what if I don’t like grass? What if I prefer sand? Or snow? Or CONCRETE? It took me years to accept life in Glasgow but it’s hard to water the grass in a lawn you don’t even like. And then I moved to Edinburgh and created a botanical garden so here’s your life lesson for today. • here's the transcript • her...

‘The Count of Monte Cristo’ is my drug of choice, ‘Siddhartha’ is the most wonderful book that’s ever been written, and ‘Why We Sleep’ stressed me out: ‘’the half-life of caffeine is 5 to 6 hours’’, but the half-life of not feeling guilty everytime I don’t have the ‘perfect sleeping routine’ is 5 to 6 years, SO YEAH. Other than that, a fascinating read. • here's the transcript • here are the...

If *YOU* learn a language, I’ll say ‘’speak as much as possible, practice as much as you can, no matter your level!’’. If *I* learn a language, then ‘’we shall not bother the citizens of this honourable country with our gibberish’’, WOW THOSE DOUBLE STANDARDS ARE VISIBLE FROM SPACE. Anyway, I think it’s time to revisit the language. (and the country) • here's the transcript • here are the gre...

Some people think of the Roman Empire every day, I think of Mongolia every day. I looooove the country, the history, the traditions, the language, the art, the absolutely INCREDIBLE uniforms they had at the Olympics, I mean WHO DO I HAVE TO BRIBE to get some of those?? If you know someone who knows someone, I beg you to drop me an email. • here's the transcript • here are the greek lessons •...

An artist builds a sphere-shaped studio and his local government is like ‘’hmm this doesn’t fit with our square-shaped mentality, we are the Borg, resistance is futile’’ and his resistance was to declare that the sphere was an independent nation, which is how I found out about the concept of micronations. (I actually am a Lady of Sealand) The structure ended up in Vienna’s Prater Park, where you c...

Hannibal Lecter had ‘having a friend for dinner’. Cronus ate his children, Zeus ate his first wife, hence ‘Wives for Dinner’ as the title of this episode WOW SO GENIUS please hold your applause. • here's the transcript • here are the greek lessons • drop me a message: sixthousandislands (at) gmail (dοt) cοm Support the show

Did I start my coffee *journey* by drinking instant coffee and thinking it was a Michelin-level beverage experience? Yes. (to my defence, it wasn’t just Nescafe, it was Nescafe **GOLD BLEND** so I was duped by marketing, your honor) Did I turn into a coffee snob the milisecond I discovered specialty coffee shops and coffee festivals? Also yes. Coffee is soooo exciting. It’s superior, it’s magical,...

If you have made New Years Resolutions and actually followed through with them, please send an email to Harvard or Mensa or someplace where mega-geniuses meet and talk about their mega-achievements because you’ve accomplished something extraordinary. A New Year’s Theme is like an umbrella. Anything you do could go under it and therefore shield you from the Thunderstorm of Guilt that a hyper-specif...

I used to live on the edge, getting on buses without tickets and such. But then I almost got caught and I knew luck wouldn’t always be on my side, so I moved away from the edge to a place more stable: one where I do, in fact, purchase tickets on public transportation. Hooray for law-abiding citizen Daria! • here's the transcript • here are the greek lessons • drop me a message: sixthousandisl...

I sometimes lay in bed at night, thinking ‘’What would my life be like if I had actually become a cryptozoologist?’’. My occupation would for sure be a great icebreaker at parties, but, I don’t go to parties. Maybe that’s why I didn’t become a cryptozoologist and opted to become a language teacher, a career more palatable for the small, intimate social gatherings I frequent. • here's the tran...

What do you mean ‘’fear of public speaking’’? I WANT those spotlights on me, honey. Give me a stage and a microphone and I’ll MC the hell out of your event, I’ll give you an unforgettable speech, I’ll moderate your panel like it’s a gathering at my own house. Presentations, videos, podcasts, events, speeches, with all my heart I love it all. • here's the transcript • here are the greek lesson...
