“Unsafe Travel Destinations”: A Big Fat Lie That Media Feeds Us

As I grew up and as my sense of wanderlust grew with me, I’ve always heard about countries being labeled “unsafe travel destinations”. From drug lords and cartel stories to war zones, countries were dubbed “unsafe” merely because of incidents that happened at some point in time. Even my own homeland, Egypt, has fallen victim […]

pickpockets in Italy

How I Fooled Pickpockets in Italy

Stereotyping, a brutal monster all nations fall victim for, most of which are the most beautiful of all. A country that I happen to love deeply is bella Italia. As much as it’s known for being rich in history, culture, art, delish cuisine, everyone seems to be concerned about pickpockets in Italy. Safety is a […]

Some travel experiences are expensive, but they’ll Some travel experiences are expensive, but they’ll keep you thinking about them years later.
These are some of the ones I don’t regret spending on. From once-in-a-lifetime experiences to things that were surprisingly affordable, plus how much I paid and how to book them.

What you’ll see in my camera roll after a solo tri What you’ll see in my camera roll after a solo trip to Marsa Alam:
approximately 847 shades of blue, an unreasonable number of underwater photos, way too many tropical fish, and me questioning why I don’t live by the sea 🧜🏼‍♀️🫧🌊

Where to go, how to get around, what to do, where to snorkel/dive, and all the practical stuff I wish I knew before going.

But apparently you don’t need to have your shit together to keep going 🤷🏻‍♀️
