The Bachelor Pad
Our four Syrian friends, Hakam, Mohamad, Majed, and Rami shared a delicious meal with us at Earth Refugee at a bungalow in a camp in Sunio, Greece. Their guests included local Greek friends and camp volunteers from Sweden, Italy, and Spain. These four friends recreated their mothers’ recipes, who taught them how to cook back in Syria.

The French Teacher
This beautiful story demonstrates that sharing your heritage through food breaks down barriers to include language barriers. It’s about a wonderful group of Greek women volunteers at Camp Eliniko in Athens who were able to connect with their Afghan guests by inviting them into their kitchens in order to connect with them.

The Downshifter
Meet Matt, a guy who left his job in Washington DC to live a life connected to his ecosystem in western North Carolina, colloquially referred to as "downshifting." He certainly considers the move a major life upgrade. Matt's story focuses on his deeply held value of eating from his local environment, which is currently heavily supplemented by local grocery store dumpsters, but features food from the homestead he shares with landmates and from the wild.
