I have always liked to try and expand my horizons as often as possible and this obviously includes travel. Whenever I am able to go on holiday I always like to try and go somewhere new. Obviously you can achieve a good amount of self improvement by reading about places, and the source of a lot of knowledge for me comes from books but I really don’t think there can be a substitute for actually seeing somewhere with your own eyes. It helps to develop your own critical criteria, and if you ever reach the lucky position of having been to many different places then this will help you to understand other places that you are yet to travel to, because you will be able to draw parallels between the place you are reading about and the places you have already been.

Most of the holidays I have been on in the past have been located in Europe but this year I have a little more money so I am going to be able to travel a little further afield. With the money I have at my disposal, I have managed to find flights to Cairo so a trip to Egypt is on the cards. From what I have read it is a fascinating country and I can’t wait to start my explorations. The plane leaves in two weeks time and this will give me just enough time to research the best buts to see!
