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.

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.

Egyptian Daily Diaries: Fayoum ~ Ancient Seabed to Budding Artists

May 3, 2012 By 3 Comments

Despite the best laid out plans, corrupt video, internet connectivity and far too much fun held up my Egyptian Daily Diaries, but I did still film them and will be sharing them with you now that I am back home.

From Day 2 of our Egyptian holiday and a fascinating day trip to Fayoum, here are Lucy Duck and I, from the fabulous tub at the Fairmont Nile City Cairo:

 

 

A few pics from the day and a tease of what’s to come from some more involved posts on Fayoum on Roamancing:

Egyptian Daily Diaries: Roamancing Jet Lag in Cairo

April 21, 2012 By 5 Comments

I’m writing this post while watching the sunset over the Nile from my king size bed at the gorgeous Fairmont Cairo Nile City.  Why?

 

 

Yes, it’s true, life is rough, and work this week has taken my digital tales to Egypt to demonstrate some ‘real’ time digital storytelling for the UNWTO Media and Tourism Conference: Partnering with Media in Challenging Times in Egypt with Daniel Noll and Audrey Scott of Uncornered Market and Lucy Duck and Erica Hargreave of Roamancing. You can read more about it on UnCornered Market and Ahimsa Media:

Would love for you cats to join in the fun by:

  • Share what we are doing in Egypt and the #WeVisitEgypt hashtag to your media channels;
  • Follow #WeVisitEgypt on your social networking channels and retweet content that appeals to you;
  • Interact with us on our adventure at @UMarket, @Roamancing, @EmmeRogers and @EricaHargreave; and
  • Share your own photos, video and blog posts from Egypt with the #WeVisitEgypt hashtag (and we will do our best to retweet them).
