Hi Everyone,

Travel is among one of the many things i enjoy in Life.I have been a memeber of VT since 2001, unfortunately, i got very busy and i could not update my homepage for quite long time now(4 years).

I am Canadian/Egyptian, was born in Cario, Egypt, moved to Canada in 1987, married and have one cute kid(now 3 years old).I have visited many wonderful countries in the past, just to mention a few: Italy, France, England, Spain,Sweden, Holland, Ecuador,Cuba,Egypt and USA.If you ask me which country i did enjoy the most out of all those trips, i would say w/ no doubt that it is Italy,Italy and Italy.I love Italy, I have many italian friends in Montreal, my wife too she has many friends and cousins as well living in Northern Italy(Bergamo,Lombardia). I do speak italian "parlo abastanza bene italiano, ma che vuoi--just kidding".It helps to listen to RadioRAI on the web.I visited Italy twice, once in 2002(honeymoon) and once in September 2006.I enjoyed the eternal city "Rome", I love Piazza Venezia, Fontana Di Trevi, Colosseo, Piazza del popolo, San Pietro., via del corsoI like "il calcio italiano", espresso,capuccino, penne arabiata, spaghetti al ragu,tortellini,tagliatelle e canolli(desert). When in Italy I love to sample the famous italian "gelato" 4/5 times/day, mama mia che savore, my favourite flavours were Gelato di albicocche,ananas,banane,fragole,mango,melone,pesche and uva. I attended one Serie A football match at the Stadio Olympico in Rome between Roma vs Parma, the atmosphere was unbelievable. I also like Madrid a lot, Paris and London.
