About this blog

"Experience, travel - these are as education in themselves." - Euripides

The first stop is Athens, Greece, to learn about the polis of classical Greece and then onto Paros for an anthropological survey of how the modern interacts with Greece's past.

After the university courses, I plan to travel to Western Anatolia, travelling from the Black Sea to the Caspian Sea (Georgia to Azerbaijan), then circumambulate Mt. Ararat by returning to Turkey, via Armenia and Iran, to explore the area around Lake Van.

Of course, if I cannot obtain an Iranian visa, all my plans will change!
