"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did. So explore, dream, discover." (Mark Twain)

Cairo's Darawish
Here are a few images of a fantastic performance we saw at Cairo's El Sawy Culturewheel this evening by a group of very talented whirling dervishes and their musical companions. The hypnotic dancing, haunting singing & mesmerising music created an other-worldly atmosphere, making it even more impressive than I thought it would be!
For the past decade I have wandered the globe a bit, leaving my homecountry Belgium in 1999 to first study in Australia and the US and to later end up in beautiful New Zealand because of a chance meeting with a lovely Kiwi guy, now my husband. In July 2005 we packed our bags once more to experience the JET-life in Fukuoka, Japan. Those two years flew by and after several months in Europe & China we returned to good old Aotearoa. After nearly three years of living a semi-settled life in the capital Wellington, I'm now off on a six-month journey through East Africa and the Middle East. No idea what to expect but stay tuned for news from the road...
