Egypt, more ancient than the written word, is a fascinating destination where tradition and modernity hobnob in daily life on the streets. SVETLANA BAGHAWAN leads us on a trail though the modern sights of this ancient land.
SVETLANA BAGHAWAN worked for 13 years as a flight attendant, a job that gave her the opportunity to travel and explore places close to her heart and of her dreams. Now blessed with a four-year-old daughter, she runs a beauty salon and spa in Kolkata but her restless traveler's spirit never leaves her alone. Thanks to her supportive husband and family, she backpacks as a single woman traveler all over the world at least four times a year, mostly with her four-year-old budding traveler in tow.
