A Travel Companion
As I approach the end of my challenge (I am nearing both 30 countries and my 30th birthday) I have travelled many ways. From different transportation styles to styles of accommodation. From travel in groups to solo travel, I have been lucky enough to experience many things. In my travels, I have travelled with tour groups. I did this in Egypt and enjoyed it. I met a lot of really great people and my transportation and accommodation were arranged. In a country as large as Egypt this a great because we had to take buses to most places. It was nice to have a private bus. I also chose to…

Trouble in Thailand
My chance encounter took place in Bangkok airport in August of 2009, when I was 22. I finished working on an Archaeological dig at Scladina Cave (website is in French) and was headed off to Thailand to meet my best friend. She was living and working in Japan and I thought Thailand was a good compromise on flight times for both of us. She would have to return to Japan and I would have to return to Europe for another dig. We had a great time in Thailand and when it was time to leave we packed our bags. Her flight was a few hours before mine. I wanted to…

Beaches can be a calm place where you go to read a book, watch the waves, or nap in the sun. I have been to some amazing beaches around the world and hope to get a chance to travel to…

Next Trip
Weekend It took me quite a while to get everything figured out for my next adventure. We have a 4 day weekend next weekend but I have decided not to travel and to take the time to relax and clean house. That means that the next time I travel will be our spring break in April. I will head to Greece for a week. It’s not as much time as I would like, but I can always go back again later to explore more islands and the northern area or Greece. I arrive late at night, just in time to get to the hotel. The next day I will have…

Intrepid Travel
Weekend I wrote all about what I did while I travelled with Intrepid in Egypt but not about after. So here it is. I must say that overall I had a great time on my trip with Intrepid. Pre-Trip On December 29th there was a change in the route of the trip. Due to hostilities with Libya in the Western Desert. There was an incident that occurred in September and the tour cancelled that portion of the trip and instead went to Hurghada on the Red Sea. On Trip On the first night, we sat down in our meeting with tour guide Mohammed Ali, who was amazing the entire trip.…
