A Van Sexy Event: Future of Tourism Talk in Vancouver

May 20, 2012 By 2 Comments

For those of you that have been reading recently, you will have seen the addition of Audrey Scott and Daniel Noll in our stories, as they explored Egypt with us.  Audrey and Dan write one of the World’s most popular travel blogs, Uncornered Market and are two amazing individuals that I love.

I’m quite excited as at the end of the month I get to share these sassy cats with my hometown of Vancouver, as they roll into town to speak at the Future of Tourism Talk being put on by G Adventures and Planeterra. Aside from loving listening to Audrey and Dan talk, the event looks like it should be an interesting one with thought-provoking ideas around culture, travel and sustainability, shared by Bruce Poon Tip, Paula Vlamings, David Suzuki, and my friends Audrey Scott and Daniel Noll.

Join Bruce Poon Tip, Paula Vlamings, Daniel Noll & Audrey Scott and RSVP for this special FREE event. Space is limited and will sell out fast!

Ross Neilsen RAWKS Vancouver Tonight!! (Saturday May 19th, 2012)

May 19, 2012 By Leave a Comment

For those of you that have been reading along the past few months, you may recognize the name Ross Neilsen, the dark, mysterious, and terribly funny Blues Man that has been finding his way into mine and Roamancing’s stories as we keep bumping into him on the road.  We’ll I am pleased to say, he is rolling into Vancouver today, just in time for my homecoming.

You can catch Ross tonight (Saturday May 19th, 2012) and me with my feet a stomping at Pat’s Pub and Brewhouse at 403 E. Hastings St. at Dunlevy Ave in Vancouver. Show starts at 9 pm.

Curious as to what Ross sounds like?  Here is my favourite youtube video of him:

 

 

Tonight he will be playing with his new band, which I am very much looking forward to hearing.  The band includes Karl Gans (previously from Ross Neilsen & the Suffering Bastards) and Young Will Pacey (the new band mate).  Speaking of which I am a little overdue sharing Episode 3 of Ross and Karl’s Great Bass Search (for Episode 1 & 2 , click on the links), so here are the fools themselves:

 

 

Really, how can you not love these boys with classy videos such as that.

Hope to see you at the Show tonight.

Kisses,

Emme xoxo

Egyptian Daily Diaries: Red Boot Roamancing on the Red Sea

May 9, 2012 By Leave a Comment

Having a good chuckle at our producer, Erica Hargreave, and her obsession with the Roamancing Red Boots.  Little did she know why they got us so many smiles and laughs in Egypt. I found out though with the help of my super sleuthing skills.

Been Through the Desert on a Horse with No Name

No, seriously I have … just without the horse.  I did take a picture of a donkey though.

#FriFotos ~ Nile Beauty

A Blissful Start to our Egyptian Adventures

With this week’s #FriFotos focused on flowers, I couldn’t help but reflect back on the past week in Egypt and this beautiful first Egyptian memory, enjoying a sleepy coffee (with warm milk) overlooking the Nile from the Fairmont Nile City Cairo, all beautifully accented by an orchid.  Certainly a blissful start to our adventures.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

PS. In Full Disclosure: As always, the opinions and thoughts shared here are our own and honest ones. We are bought out by no one. In the spirit of disclosure, it should be noted that on this trip, our expenses were paid by Egyptian Tourism, as a guest to the country and the UNWTO Media and Tourism Conference.
