Holidays in danger zones. Egypt Why go?

Holidays in danger zones

Egypt's tourism has been hammered since the 2011 revolution and the instability that followed, with many tourists and tour operators abandoning Cairo. The main tourist sites, including the Pyramids and Luxor, are more or less deserted. While Cairo and parts of the Sinai peninsula, particularly the north, should probably be avoided, it is still possible to visit the southern Sinai beach resorts. What the Foreign and Commonwealth Office says: Advises against all travel to some parts of the country, especially North Sinai, because of the significant increase in criminal activity and recent terrorist attacks on police and security forces that have resulted in deaths.

Balade vintage sur les pentes. Coco Picos Le périple vintage commence à la Croix-Rousse chez Coco Picos, chouette friperie où on trouve moultes choses à des prix plus que raisonnables.

Balade vintage sur les pentes

La déco est kitsch à souhait - admirez la collection de boules à neige qui surplombe les cabines d'essayage ou encore les statues de vierges ou de saints en plein ravissement aux côtés d'une carte postale du prince Charles... J'y ai acheté quelques petites choses follement années 80 dont une paire de boucles d'oreille clips turquoises 100% plastoc qui font leur petit effet.

Chez les morues En sortant de chez Coco Picos, on traverse la place de la Croix-Rousse, on prend la rue des Pierres plantées puis la montée de la Grande côte.

How I Can Afford My Life Of Constant Travel

I’m simply confused as to how it’s possible that I have so far failed to properly explain how I’ve managed to travel/live/work abroad nonstop for 12 years straight (and counting). The questions are still pouring in every single day: How do you do it? How is it possible to travel for so long? Where does the money come from? And while I thoroughly enjoy communicating with readers (I’m being completely serious and encourage you all to continue sending your emails to me as often as you wish), the fact that these very questions are on the minds of so many of you out there has led me to believe that I need to do a better job at providing the answers. While it’s true that I’ve already written plenty of posts on the matter, clearly all of these posts, even as one collective entity, still fall well short of proving that a life of travel is not some crazy fantasy but a perfectly reasonable and easily attainable lifestyle option instead.
