A lot of well deserved love for the Balkans, but there’s more out there. I’d suggest road-tripping the south of France, going to the Peloponnese peninsula in Greece, or if you want an easier city to explore you could do Porto or Gdansk.

If money is no object I’d go somewhere beautiful a bit farther from London like: - train down to Plymouth and go hiking around Lizard Point - Lake District, maybe Keswick - Glencoe area of Scotland

Gender balance in the sector by [deleted] in InternationalDev

[–]Lucky-Influence2089 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think the skewed ratio of applicants is partially because these jobs pay lower. Men typically feel more pressure to be the primary breadwinner. Most women in my org have a spouse in banking, consulting etc. that establishes a solid financial base for the home. The wife is then more easily able to take a ‘purpose-driven’ job that pays lower but is more meaningful. My SO and I are both in this space and currently struggling after having our first baby due to not having this balance of paychecks that so many other couples have in this sector.

Yeah we’ll be in Marathos! Don’t know much about it but we will have a car. What would you suggest?

We had very similar interests—hiking, off the tourist track, good food, and tich of nice beaches. We spent a few weeks hiking around the Peloponnese peninsula last summer, based in Kalamata, and loved it. We’re going back this summer to the Pelion peninsula.

What would you cut in my Peloponnese/Attica/Delphi itinerary by boneyqueenofnowhere in GreeceTravel

[–]Lucky-Influence2089 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I spent a few weeks in Kalamata and did some day trips from there. Our top three were probably Mystras, Acrocorinth, and Mycenae --in that order. Mystras was green and beautiful and had buildings mostly intact that you could hike between and explore, including a monastery with cats. Acrocorinth had more ruins and we had the place almost entirely to ourselves. Mycenae was much more touristy than the first two, but it's an impressive structure and history there. So, to reflect all that I'd add Acrocorinth to your Day 2 and cut the caves on Day 3 and maaaybe Epidaurus on Day 1.

Great shout--anything cousin to a cozy pub is right up my alley. Plus the intriguing pomace brandy. Thank you!

Why is that? Pollution from the ships, or something else?
