Watch a tourist fall in love with Egypt

Watch a seasoned tourist fall in love with Egypt when you zip back 57 weeks on her Instagram timeline. “If you’re wondering if Egypt is safe, it is. If you’re wondering if the people are warm and friendly, they are. … what I was struck by was 1) how safe I felt in doing the tour and, 2) how similar the daily life we witnessed, was to my own daily life back home. Too often I think we get caught up in how different we are from one another, and we let those differences become easy fuel for negativity and hate.” Alternatively: Scroll through the same user (Kirsten Alana)’s timeline and marvel equally at the choice of destinations and the quality of her mobile phone photography. You’re going to need an iPhone lens from these people if you going to want to compete in the photography department.
