Now I hope that most of you know who I am, or at least know someone who is connected to me. Please – six degrees of separation is cool and all, but I’m thinking more of one…

So I’m Adam. I’m 20 and I’m a Junior at American University in Washington DC, where I study International Studies and Economics. I grew up in typical suburbia outside of Pittsburgh and have ventured to the American Capital.

Now I am traveling overseas for a semester to study at the American University in Cairo (AUC, which has no affiliation with AU in DC). I have been to the Middle East once before, but only for two weeks, so this journey will be unlike anything I have done in the past and will probably be unlike anything I will ever experience again in the future.

I love traveling, politics, and just being a college kid.
