Egypt & Cruise
by: Cara M. Program: Uganda: Gorilla Conservation AdventureWe were truly able to experience Egypt and all the history & wonders! The pyramid of Giza, Great Sphinx, Valley of the Kings and temples were amazing, as was our add-on of Sakara and a hot air balloon ride in Luxor over the Valley of the Queen/Nobles and Queen Hatshepsuts temple (Muhammad arranged for us). Oh, and the sunset boat ride on the Nile to the Nubian Village was great. Muhammad helped ensure every activity was enjoyable and every detail was taken into consideration. In addition, we loved dining with the Hassan family! What a truly enjoyable and memorable way to spend Christmas. Mrs. Hassan cooked a lovely feast for us, complete with a cake decorated for the holiday. We enjoyed our conversations with the family, especially their two older daughters. It was a fascinating and enriching experience.
Bhutan
by: Grace C. Program: Thailand: The Elephant Experience with Discover CorpsI loved learning different cultures and history by visiting temples and schools. Meeting journalist, monks, and school administrators were very eye opening experiences. Karma and Cindy really put efforts for us to learn Butan and its cultures. We loved our tour guide, Kuenzang . He worked extremely hard to explain everything we asked. Not to mention providing best care possible. Our driver Senchu was excellent driver. Both of them made our trip so pleasant.
Return Again and Again
by: Happie M. Program: Alaska: The Great ExplorationI’ve had great experiences with guides at Discover. I’ve learned a lot in each country I’ve visited. The accommodations are great and trips are very organized. Our guide Karla was amazing. She is very knowledgeable, honest, intelligent, caring and patient. My daughter and I learned so much from the trip thanks to Karla’s guidance. She anticipated the needs of the group and her communication with as great.

This contrast can be seen in the beautiful church facade in San Andrés Xecul; though it is a Catholic church, it was constructed by Mayan slaves, and many traditional Mayan symbols and colors can be seen in the architecture. In fact, the striking colors of the church, rather than being an expression of Catholic belief or tradition, come from the Mayan cosmology.

I have had the travel itch for some time now and I don't think it's going anywhere! I actually have created a bucket list for myself of things I want to do in my life, and it mostly consists of travel and the various places and things I want to see around the world. I see travel as a unique and powerful way to broaden your horizons and your perspective, to grow and learn from others, to understand just how much difference and diversity exists in the world, and to celebrate that fact--something I feel is especially important these days.
