January 29, 2008
From August 2005 to July 2006 I lived and worked in Cairo, Egypt as a volunteer of the Presbyterian Church (USA). I met many amazing people, went to places I never dreamed of, and my life was changed forever.
I recently realized that, through the simple passage of time, my blog no longer showed any hint of my experiences in Egypt. A year and a half has passed since I returned and all of my Egypt-related journal entries have long been replaced by more recent ones.
Since my time in Egypt was such a life-changing experience, I decided to set up this page in honor of it. On this page, access to my Egypt-related blog entries, photos, and videos have been consolidated so that they may be easily found.
