Sharm El Sheik – Food, Luxury, and the Red Sea

It’s been over 2 years since I visited Sharm El Sheikh and I’ve been meaning to write about it ever since, but the pandemic gave me writer’s block. I realized now that I procrastinated because writing about it would close a chapter I was not ready to close since I couldn’t see when I’d be…

I asked, and Egypt answered

Egypt and I go way back. Not because we’ve met before, but because I’ve been dreaming about it (literally) since I was about 10 years old. I’d be lying if I said that it was the movie Cleopatra that first piqued my interest. The truth is I really don’t remember what got me so hooked,…

Berlin Part 1: Hot Rods and a Favourite Place

There’s something quite magical about waking up in a new city. I didn’t need much help from my alarm that morning, as I had slept like a dead person the night before. I was also really excited because I had 2 things planned for that day – the Hot Rod City Tour at 11 and…

2013 To-Do List

I know I’m not alone when it comes to making New Year resolutions. I’m also not alone in saying I’m going to do this or change that and then never get round to it. Or, I start, but then don’t persist. I decided to make my life much easier and come up with a “things…

Trip to Europe: Day 11 – Rome

14 June 2012. We had a full day in Rome awaiting us. We were to start the day with a tour of the Vatican Museums, something I had done before. It was an optional extra and wasn’t included in the tour, but I loved it so much the last time that I just had to…
