Young, Wild and Free Energy: going out in Greece, drunk make outs, girls trip bonding

For Raeann, this is the summer of crossing things off of her bucket list. Manifesting skinny dipping with a hot guy in Greece? Check. Having the most fun with drunk make outs, bonding with strangers who become fast friends and embracing flexibility and spontaneity? Also check. It’s the wild and free summer she always dreamed of, and reminds us it’s never too late to do the things you’ve dreamed of. We’re diving into all the juicy details in this episode! Come along for the ride (and get a preview of what we’re dreaming of for the TCC 2023 summer trip). Plus, Kristina shares context and tips for traveling in Greece.

“I’m so grateful I'm having this time now. I manifested skinny dipping in the ocean with a greek man: check! Riding a scooter in Italy: check! I'm having all these experiences I didn't get to have.” - Raeann
