How did one trip determine my further life.

When I was in Egypt, I met a guy who inspired me to study photography professionally. Also there I had a conversation with a local woman (a hotel employee) who told me about the specific cultural characteristics of women's lives in their country. I listened to her very carefully. It felt like I was in the backstage. And it became obvious for me that this is what interests me, namely the cultural diversity, different attitude towards life, different way of thinking.

That trip has identified two of my main directions in life: I'm learning intercultural communication at university and I'm working as a photographer.

Also that trip gave me to understand that while traveling we are learning not only the world, but ourselves.
