I love to travel and especially love meeting people from different cultures and learning about their lifestyle. I stay away from touristy places and love being with the people of the country I am staying in. On my last trip to Egypt I had the pleasure of staying with a Beduoin family for a couple of days. It was a truly wonderful experience and one I hope to repeat as soon as possible but next time would love to stay for a much longer time. It is fascinating the way people can communicate with each other even when there is a language barrier. The hospitality I was shown was very humbling. I will never forget this family and their kindness. I am a lady in my fifties and have returned to college for the past two years to study photography. I am loving being a student again. When I complete my course I will be off with my camera to some faraway place.
