Picking up from yesterday –
I don’t know if this post is necessary, and you can skip it. (I mean, you can skip any you want haha). But, it was really kinda lonely in Egypt feeling SO like I didn’t know what was going on.
It made me imagine what it must be like for little toddlers running around the world having no idea what’s going on. No wonder they’re on edge all the time.
As I mentioned, I was being carted from tourist attraction to tourist attraction, really having no great sense of where I was. Just kind of like park and point.
I feeeeeeeel like I’ve done a fair amount of international travel. Like it sort of feels that way in my heart haha.
So, I’m like “yeah, I know how to navigate the world.” But I don’t know if that’s true, really.
Sure, I hung out in Mexico for a few months, but staffed on a TV crew. So, like everyone I was with spoke English. And we mainly stayed in areas that had tons of English speaking people.
And for the most part, even in other countries, I went to places that had a lot of English speaking people.
So, even though I like independence of going around and seeing stuff, it felt kind of isolating walking around seeing some signs without English translations, and not having an English-speaking guide.
I was just guessing, using google, and sometimes finding people who did speak English.
All that to say, I maybe wish I would’ve booked a tour or something (but in my defense, I was supposed to have an English speaking driver!).
Anyway, I’ll finally get into the tourist stuff I did tomorrow.
