Karpathos’s Main Town of Pigadia

In order to keep a promise she and her brother had made to their grandmother as children, KayMaria left her beloved hometown of Oakland, California; her stable teaching job; and her perfectly-situated flat and headed to Athens, Greece in time for the 2004 Olympics. For three years, she wrote, edited, and taught in the Greek capitol. Now, she traverses the globe as a digital nomad, seeking to live life according to the words written on her birth announcement: "I shall pass through this world but once. If, therefore, there be any kindness I can show, or any good thing I can do, let me do it now; let me not defer it nor neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again."
