Not so solo




when i started chasing my dream of being a fashion designer three years ago i had no idea how far it's going to take me away from what I've planned.


a solo female traveler went to away from home with only 240 dollars and a dream to have a better future.


now after three years, three different jobs and traveling to more than 12 countries am as far as i was from my dream job when i started.


Am Married , and back to Egypt with no job . But i have my dream and so many stamps on my passport and a very supportive family and lots of life adventures and experience.


why is my blog's name is (Not so solo)?


well, i always wanted to travel on my own but i ended up having a partner .


Yes i drive him nuts, and Yes, he makes me furious . but he also wanted to be a solo traveler before ending up with me . Luck? i don't think so.


Fate? Maybe


but some how being together is being solo with a best compromise ever. we understand each other. we love being together and we basically have the same taste in EVERYTHING!. well, ALMOST everything.


and while i am getting over my abandonment fear and daddy issues i still am trying to chase the dream and the visas.


being an Egyptian girl who is married to a British man is not exactly the perfect marriage or situation my society would be OK with. but with little bit of love and A LOT of support from family it couldn't be better.


and although i have traveled a lot . the British visa system still reject my visa every single time so my plan is to wear them down one rejection at a time .and maybe one day i will actually meet my in-laws FACE TO FACE!


so to sum it up. fashion designing , traveling, and maybe marriage as well


That's it .
