The night in the Ikaria eco hostel was amazing and relaxing. Being on a very small island with a group of warm and charismatic people makes you bond fast and we shared a lot of laughs, thoughts and talks while swimming in the pool under this year’s biggest moon. We slept with the balcony open, listening to the water just next to us hitting against the rock wall of the little islet – Ikaria is a truly peaceful place. We didn’t get to celebrate a typical Swedish midsummer this year either, but as a friend brought us Hawaiian lei’s, we transformed our night into one of celebrating not only life, but also diversity and opportunities.
