The Land Of Nothing You’ve Ever Seen: 10 Stories From My Time In Cairo

Eric Schenck lived in Cairo, Egypt for three years. As a sheltered 22-year-old from the United States, he hadn't seen much when he hopped on a plane to Egypt's capital in 2015. Three years later, he had not only experienced some of the most incredible stories of his life - but also learned some of the most valuable life lessons you can hope to get.

As he says in "The The Land Of Nothing You've Ever Seen": Life in Egypt is weird, unpredictable, and endlessly frustrating...but also three of the best years of my life.

These 10 stories show you why. From immersing himself in the Egyptian Arabic language, to getting raided by gunmen at his very first job, to tutoring one of the Middle Easts most famous celebrities, Egypt was one adventure after the other.

Eric was looking for excitement - what he got from Cairo exceeded even his wildest expectations.
