Exploring Europe & the Middle East: Switzerland, France, Lebanon & Egypt

Hello!

After a short hiatus from traveling, I am setting out on a month-long, lightning adventure throughout Switzerland, France, Lebanon and Egypt.  

Overview:

• Switzerland
• Length of stay -  7 days
• Traveling with - Mom, dad, sister
• Which region - Western (Zurich to Geneva)
• Language - German and French
• France
• Length of stay - 5 days
• Traveling with - Mom and dad
• Which region - Southern (Arles to Bordeaux)
• Language - French, of course!
• Lebanon
• Length of stay - 6 days
• Traveling with - Meeting a friend
• Which region - Western (Beirut)
• Language - Arabic
• Egypt
• Length of stay - 12 days

Some of you may be concerned about my trip to Egypt, but rest assure I will be checking the news religiously and avoiding demonstrations in Tahrir Square and roaming the Suez Canal.  I also do not have any plans to view Luxor at sunrise via hot air balloon; however, it does sound like a beautiful experience.   

Stay tuned for more updates!

Cheers,
