“I was packing to go to Prague but ended up in Egypt. You would think that the most memorable part of my trip was seeing the Pyramids or acquiring a scar from sunburn that left me basically paralyzed for two days or stepping on a sea urchin but nope, that’s not the case! Don’t get me wrong, all of these memories are dear to my heart and I would not change them…and they were just a small portion of the beauty, frustration and hilarity that ensued throughout this trip! But when someone asks me about my trip, the first thing that comes to my mind is the night we drove 4x4s into the Sahara Desert, shut them down and just laid on their rooftops. I will never forget how amazing and insignificant I felt being surrounded by the sky, stars and the dessert with nothing else for miles and miles…When you are faced with such infinite space, you realize that you’re just one of the little dots that lives within the whole universe…” – Katya Arsenieva …
