I had a full, busy, and amazing month in December and January hosting old friends from Athens. One of my closest friends came to visit after a long absence from the U.S and a couple I hosted had never been to the United States before. This was quite exciting for me, as I find it wonderful to host and show people the city that has been my home for the past four years. I find great joy in being able to take people around my city, be that Athens, New York or London. Each place seen through the unique eyes of a native makes it that much more wonderful for a visitor.  No matter how many years you live in a given city, visitors have an innate ability to make you see it through the eyes of a tourist, which in many cases is a perfect opportunity to see things through a fresh vantage point. As with Yoga, I often highly encourage experienced teachers to go to a beginner's class to reinvent their seasoned eyes, to the mindset and awareness of a beginner. And so it goes with long time
