As the traveler who has once been from home is wiser than he who has never left his own doorstep, so a knowledge of one other culture should sharpen our ability to scrutinize more steadily, to appreciate more lovingly our own. Traveling is not Just seeing the new; It is also about leaving behind. Not Just Opening Doors; also closing them behind you, Never to return. But the place you have left forever is always there for you to see whenever you shut your eyes. We are all travelers in the wilderness of this world, and the best we can find in our travels is an honest friend |

I played the corporate game for a while, but found myself spending more time planning holidays than I was on my PowerPoint presentations. Fortunately, I had the opportunity to leave it behind and try something new for a while. I have been living in and around the Middle East for almost five years, involving myself in Arabic language studies, non-government work, and tourism (both being a tourist and leading tours). I am the founder of Backpacker Concierge ([web link], a travel consultancy based in Egypt and am passionate about the region I have chosen to live in and am excited to share it with you all. |

I have 2 very complementary addictions: travel and photography, that's why this website of all the ones I visited seems to me the most appropriate. I hope through it to exchange tips and secrets about travel and photography. I like travel in all shapes and fashion- except maybe package tours on the Costa Brava!- My favourite trip of all times was when years ago, my husband and I drove a land-Rover all the way from UK to Delhi and back. Pity that in those days I was not taking pictures and I did not write a diary. Memories fade! what I find most gratifying now are travels for a cause like trekking in the Moroccan Sahara for Médecins du Monde, running in Senegal for La Sénégazelle, or doing some 'community challenge' in Namibia (that's my next 'responsible' trip) for a charity. Africa is an alltime magnet and I always have an African trip planned on the horizon as soon as I come back from one! Africa and deserts are the ultimate spriritual experience for me. The feeling of being as small as one of these grains of sand in the immensity of the landscape is awesome! I love Europe as well, and have so much to discover still of my 'old' continent. I loved walking a week of the GR20 in Corsica in June this year and I loved lazying in an ' Agritourismo' near Verona and going to hear Carmen in the Roman Arena. I love living in Manchester; it's its imperfections that make it so endearing, I think. France is my country of origin and each time I go there I am discovering something new; it is so varied and beautiful! Further afield I would like to visit Mongolia (The Gobi Desert)and go back to Laos and Vietnam where I lived for a while when I was a child. |

My husband and I enjoyed traveling independent to most countries while we were ex-pats in Saudi Arabia and Bahrain. We traveled from Bangkok to Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam on our own, traveling mostly by bus and walking a lot in the cities. One of our greatest adventures, however, was traveling with our son and a group on the train from Beijing to Mongolia and Moscow, then onto St. Petersburg by ourselves. We had traveled by bus tour from Helsinki to St. Petersburg and Moscow the year before. |
