My Bio

Good morning, good afternoon, good evening and good night to all who are reading this travel blog!! My name is Mike P., from Chicago, IL (yes, I'm actually from the city and NOT from the suburbs...you know what I'm talking about) and this is my travelblog about my trip to Egypt...through my eyes.

For starters, it has been my dream to go to Egypt, ever since I was a young kid day dreaming of being an Archaeologist. Man, I'd even watch some Egypt stuff on the discovery channel with my parents, all the whle thinking that it was me excavating some ancient city, being the first to go into the cursed pyramid, or even meeting an Egyptian beauty who would change my view of everything, including myself. And now, it's my chance to live out my dream...at least for two weeks...you know I gotta get back to work and make that money (S&B, you gotta love them!).

I'm currently 23 yrs old, Greek by blood and culture, but internationally acclaimed through my global network of friends...My chance to go to Egypt arose when my friend Maz received a fellowship study in Cairo. Instantly I thought about visiting, but man, the price was just too high! So i said forget about it and took the chance to go check him out. So now, I'm two days away from visiting the one place i've always wanted to go to in the world. I hope everyone who reads this likes the site, and that they write some remarks back! Thanks to all who supported me for this trip...and for this who didn't please kiss my grits and buttermilk biscuits!!! HA!
