It is the altitude that can be … [Read more...]

Over the years, however, Cairo has developed into a bustling metropolis and now blends its historic routes with a … [Read more...]

July 6, 2023 by Emili WoolserLeave a Comment

The word "education" might bring to mind classrooms, textbooks, essay writer duties and exams. But as any seasoned traveler will tell you, some of life's most impactful lessons happen outside the traditional classroom. This is the allure of a gap year - a break taken by students between high school and college or during college, offering an opportunity to travel, work, volunteer, or pursue a unique interest. The idea of a gap year, however, … [Read more...]
