As I write this I am aware reality has not hit me yet- I am leaving Egypt for good. I have mixed emotions but overall I am happy. I am happy because I am on my way home- eventually.
Living and working in Egypt has been interesting to say the least. My flat was gorgeous but came with 99 problems. Our slimy landlord was infuriating. My roommates brought out the worst in each other. And what were beautiful, tree-lined, quiet streets during the day became dark, secluded and dangerous territory at night. I started to dread my shifts at Gold’s- it is disappointing an American company would adopt the poor working standards of Egypt. But as frustrating as Egypt can be it will always have a spot in my heart.
Since I have been slaving away the past month you can’t blame me for wanting a proper vacation before returning home, hehe. I will be spending the next month in Puerto Rico. Don’t hate. On Sunday I will have my feet ``safely`` planted on American soil. I will be headed to the Ann Wigmore Institute for some detoxification, rejuvenation and re-Westernization. I will also be learning about sprouting, indoor gardening, indoor composting and more. I have wanted to visit the AWI for the past 10 years, so I am very excited to end my travels there. Thinking of home but happily abroad,
