Somehow we landed in Italia. To be honest, it’s not somewhere either of us had been rushing to return to after our initial separate forays in our 20’s. Neither one of us had extraordinary experiences back then. To be honest, they were both a bit sour, but granted, we had only waded into the most touristed places possible…Rome, Venice and…
We liked Egypt. We didn’t love Egypt. But Dahab, a hippie haven coastal community on the Gulf of Aqaba side of the Sinai Peninsula, was quite a different story. Dahab has notes of Goa, India, Pokhara, Nepal and Aqaba, Jordan all wrapped into one tidy little package, which is undoubtedly why so many, mostly younger, digital nomad Europeans flock here…
After six nights in our Luxor-ious apartment, it was time to buckle our seatbelts for some American-style gotta-fit-it-all-in-travel. Our itinerary for the next 13 days would be…2 nights, 3 nights, 2 nights, 2 nights, 1 night, 2 nights and 1 night and it started with an all-day wait in Luxor for our 10:30 night bus. (Yes, halfway through now, our…
When we pulled into the GoBus station in Luxor, we expected to be battered from all angles by taxi drivers. And while they were indeed persistent, we’ve experienced way worse in other places. But fortunately, as we swooped down to fetch our under-bus bags, one of those drivers, a quite young one, revealed our What’s App profile photo on his…
We decided to go to Egypt because the timing couldn’t have lined up more perfectly. We had to leave Türkiye, needed to kill a few more days before reentering Europe, and the temperature had dropped a few notches to utter pleasantness in Egypt. Plus, it only took four days and 6+ hours worth of fun-filled evening phone dates to Chase Travel…
After 4+ years of nomadic life and a whole lot of experience, we finally feel like we’re figuring out our ideal pacing. The first two years (because we thought we only HAD two years) we whipped through 36 countries at practically breakneck speed. And since COVID, it’s often been…too fast…too slow…too fast…too slow… But now, we think we’ve cracked the…
From Finike, we again tossed ourselves in the squishy back of our friends’ Jimmy Jeep to be whisked away to a part of Türkiye we definitely wouldn’t have seen otherwise... Side, one hour east of Antalya, and a terrific blend of Las Turkus with themed all-inclusive hotels, miles of sandy beaches, a polished Ottoman old town, some genuinely authentic ruins…
