About this blog

There have now been over 4000 visits to this travel blog! Thank you, everyone, for visiting. It has been a tonne of work at the college with very long hours, but on the weekends I've been able to travel to Palestine, Israel, Saudi Arabia (barely), and Egypt! This has been a wonderful opportunity to make friends from around the world and learn about other cultures. Thank you Sprott-Shaw! This blog has the good things, the bad things, and the great things. Enjoy the read and all the pics!
