The 9-5 Travel Advisor & Blogger

My name is Maria, and I am a Greek-American born and raised in New Jersey, and am currently residing and working in New York City. Traveling has been a passion of mine for years, and I have been fortunate enough to travel throughout the U.S., Caribbean Islands, Europe, and everything in between with my family and friends. When I’m not working or traveling, I am playing soccer, watching sports, working out or attending electronic dance shows in and around New York.

Being born into a very Greek family, almost every summer I could travel to Greece to visit relatives and island hop around the Aegean Sea. During the late springs and early summers of each year, I found both close friends and acquaintances constantly reaching out to me for recommendations on places they were traveling to (especially within Greece). The one thing we all had in common? Working a 9-5. Thus, the idea for the Nine to Fly Club was born.
