They are called experiences, and they are worth the money.
As your family sat down six months ago to book airline tickets and places to stay for your trip to Greece, you were careful to search for the most authentic of experiences. Making the decision to book your own flights and places to stay instead of going through a travel agency was the first step, and once your 17 and 21 year old daughters started looking they found many more ways that they could personalize this once in a life time trip.
As a celebration of your 30th wedding anniversary you wanted to return to Greece, a place you had visited once before after you had been married 10 years. Since your 30th year coincided with your younger daughter’s high school graduation and your older daughter’s college graduation you decided that this trip would be one for the whole family.
The planning of where to stay was focused on the shared economy of local residents and you were able to find a great place for each of the three islands that you visited. Once you were on the websites looking for these places, however, the girls started noticing the experiences. The first one that caught their eye was a couple who taught a jewelry making class. Offering experiences in making various types of sea glass earrings, necklaces, and bracelets, this particular option was especially interesting to your daughters.
Sea Glass Jewelry Offers a Regional Keepsake for Many Travelers
It is one thing to go into a store and make a tourist purchase of jewelry made from different types of beach glass or sea glass, but it is quite another to know that you are learning a craft from a local artisan. For this reason, there are a number of people who offer their talents with people who are visiting from around the world.
Not surprising, there are many types of sea glass earrings and other jewelry pieces that allow you to take a little piece of your vacation home with you. And while a tourist is often interested in these items, the fact of the matter is that the subtle hues of blue, green, and aqua are often found in every 50 to 100 pieces of sea glass are favorites for wedding jewelry as well.
Whether you are taking a once in a lifetime trip as a family celebration or you are visiting a place that you have traveled to often, it is always rewarding to indulge in the local experiences that allow you to interact with regional artists, as you create different types of sea glass earrings, necklaces, and bracelets.
