Tomorrowland

by Calvin Sun | Jul 31, 2023 | Belgium, The Nightlife, Walking Tours, What Dreams May Come

The Yacht Week Greece Day 1 – The Hostess with the Alimos-tess

by Calvin Sun | Jul 15, 2023 | Crisis, Fail, Greece, July 2023: The Greek Epic, The Nightlife

  2 days in Rhodes and then 2 days in Meteora, I think it’s time to say that we’re ready for the main reason why 40 of us are here. A trip 22 months in the making: The Yacht Week Greece. Since Sidian had to leave early to catch an afternoon flight out...

by Calvin Sun | Sep 9, 2021 | Italy, Sardinia, September 2021: The Tyrrhenian Sea, The Nightlife

 Our 6th morning saw us sailing towards Porto Cervo along the coastline of Costa Smeralda, but not before recreating TYW legendary circle raft:  Get out your floaties again here! It’s your last chance to enjoy the festivities of a floating...

The Yacht Week Sardinia Day 5 – Isola Spargi to Poltu Qualtu

by Calvin Sun | Sep 8, 2021 | Italy, Sardinia, September 2021: The Tyrrhenian Sea, The Nightlife

 Our 5th morning began on the water, allowing for plenty of time to rest, relax, and sunbathe atop our floating home. We all instead chose to do a photo shoot with only black swimsuits:  Don’t smile and hold your breath, everyone:  Now...
