Looking to the Future

After being home in the United States for about four months, I realized I didn't want to stop my travel blog "MacKenzie's Greeking Out". In fact, I liked taking my travel reporting class while studying abroad in Greece because I finally had an excuse to create a blog.

Although I'm (sadly) not greeking out anymore, I thought maybe I could turn it into a travel blog in general. 

I'm not sure where I'm traveling to or even when, especially with the global pandemic, but I hope I get to use this blog more and more!

Thanks for visiting/reading my blog! 

*Note: Although I changed the blog name to "Track Mac," the url: mackenziesgreekingout.blogspot.com will remain the same for the time being since it exemplifies where and how this blog started.*

Tunes to Greek Out To!

Like many of you, I'm a big fan of music. Hanging out in the cafes of Agia Paraskevi, many cafes played music that I haven't heard before. Maybe some songs were released in both Europe and the United States at the same time, and I just happened to be in Europe. Either way, I associate these songs with Greece and my abroad travels as I sat in cafes and taxis shazaming the name of the songs that caught my attention. Note: Many of these songs I heard in Greece and some are from other countries I visited while abroad. I call this playlist Greekin Out! 1. Costa Rica- Benjamin Ingrosso 2. Break Me- Aimee 3. Stayaway- MUNA 4. Love Me or Leave Me Alone- Beachwood 5. Ready- Alessia Cara 6. OMG- Gryffin, Carly Rae Jepsen 7. All For Us- Labrinth, Zendaya 8. Move On- AJ Mitchell 9. OKAY OKAY- Alessia Cara 10. What Do I Do?- Georgia Ku 11. What Do I Do? (Acoustic)- Georgia Ku 12. Kiss Me- Lola Jane

Disposables Are In Boys!!

After four months, give or take a few days, of being back in the good ole United States, I FINALLY got 2/3 of my disposable cameras developed.  Looking back on these pictures, it's crazy to think of how much time has passed since I was living in Greece and exploring different countries. As cliché as it sounds, it seems almost like a dream. I highly recommend bringing disposable cameras around with you, to document your moments and not be able to look at the pictures until the film is developed! Here's a few moments I captured abroad from two of my disposable cameras: Shannon, Cooper, Anna, Liv, Kathryn, Jack, and Bridget outside a coffee shop in Dubrovnik, Croatia.  MacKenzie and my mom Patricia on the ferry going to Skopelos Island, Greece.

We Talkin' Food?

It’s only been a week since I’ve arrived in Athens, and it feels like three weeks. In a good way. I’ve experienced the nightlife near school and our dorms, as well as the nightlife in downtown Athens. I’ve met new people from different states, different countries, and new people from Loyola. I’ve experienced food and different forms of transportation. I’ve also began experiencing things that I do and don’t like compared to America. One of my top favorite topics to discuss in Greece is the food. For one thing, the food is amazing. The portion sizes are also just right. I’ve only been truly stuffed a few times, and besides that I’ve been comfortably full.  The one thing that did take me by surprise is the fact that majority, if not all restaurants, charge for water to your table. And also, charge for the bread brought out, which I first thought was complimentary since no one at our table asked for any. Also, every time you order something, the waiter brings out a new check, whic
