She didn’t recognise the relatives she left behind after emigrating

Picking olives in a small village in Kefalonia: that was the starting point of the eventful journey of Konstantina Skouri, the Greek woman who crossed seas and unknown shores to finally settle in Australia. The Greek woman who, for six months, set aside 20 out of her 27-dollar wage to repay the ticket that brought her to the Antipodes. The Greek woman who got married, became the mother of two children, worked, and toiled in the “Land of Opportunity”… The migrant who still gazes with a touch of longing at the photos of the white beaches and clear waters of her beloved Kefalonia.
