The Gilded Serpent presents...
Andrea
Andrea is a dancer from the SF Bay Area. She is thrilled at having had the opportunity to combine her two passions: dancing and traveling. As of today, she's been to Egypt and Turkey to learn more about the dance, culture, and history of this region. She is currently studying Arabic and hopes to be able to apply it in future journeys to the Middle East. Next year you may find her in Tunisia or Morrocco or back to Egypt. Insha-allah!
