Travel stories coming up soon...

Syria is by far the most fascinating place I have been in my life! An unselfish country that is virtually untouched by savage capitalism (by this I mean, financial capitalism), but also wealthy and very modern (culturally, for instance: people in Syria are very knowledgeable when it comes to foreign languages, regardless of their social background)!

I simply loved my two weeks (actually 12 days) in Syria. I have so much to say, will try to build these pages slowly. Rami, Youssef, Fouad, and everyone that helped me make this a fantastic dream journey, you are welcome to contribute here.
