Is what I came away with after 14 days there in the middle of January. You can’t go somewhere as different from your culture as Egypt without having a mirror held up to your beliefs, your assumptions, your sense of identity… even your religion. Someday that I feel like going back, I’d like for it to be staying with someone who lives there and traveling the full extent of the Nile by land… But I can’t recommend this experience enough.

... the possibility of going just sort of fell into my lap. I hemmed and hawed and realized I had no reason to, and booked the trip! 15 days there, coming up in January! Scared and excited all at once! This was one of the first goals I put on 43Things, didn’t really do anything with it other than feeling good that people were cheering the goal, and look ma, I’m goin’! :-)
intention and attention are all you need to realize a goal. My Western conditioning still holds onto the belief in effort and my mind tries to reconcile itself with both opposite fields. My attention is now turned to the fact that my beloved already has a plan and a structure to go to Egypt next year. Now all I have to do is to stay attentive for a way to accompany her… :-)
