  • The magic of being completely alone in Petra ✨ … alongside the sadness of knowing what this emptiness means for the locals who depend on a steady flow of tourism in order to feed their families. Preparing to run our most recent group trip, there was a lot of apprehension from our guests about travelling to Jordan with the ongoing war in Iran. Not dissimilar to the trips we ran last year or the year before, both in the midst of the Gaza war next-door. Foreign media loves to paint the Middle East as one homogeneous (and incredibly dangerous) region, but the reality is that Jordan has remained stable & safe through decades of neighbouring conflict. And this has been no exception! I’m unbelievably grateful that every single one of our participants trusted us with this trip, that they fell in love with Jordan just like we knew they would— and most of all, that they’ll be able to take home stories of warmth, welcome, and wonder that might start to shift the narrative. The truth is that Jordan feels as safe as ever, and there’s possibly no better time to visit than right now: when you’ll enjoy it all to yourself AND when it truly means so much 🖤🇯🇴 — #jordan #petra #jordantravel #traveljordan @experiencejordanadventures
  • Long before the Nile was crowded with large-scale cruise ships, it beckoned aristocrats, archaeologists, artists & adventurers who explored Egypt aboard elegant wooden sailing boats known as dahabiya. Popular throughout the 19th century, these graceful boats eventually fell out of fashion as motorised cruise ships became the new standard, but about 20 years ago, @nourelnil set out to revive the golden age of Nile travel with a small fleet of traditional wooden dahabiya. We’ve been on 3 Nile cruises in the last 3 years and loved every experience, but actually *sailing* the Nile was indescribably special. While most Nile Cruises spend surprisingly little time actually cruising (and a lot of time docked in Luxor or Aswan, effectively operating like a floating hotel), we spent six leisurely days sailing from Esna to Aswan beneath striped canvas sails— the longest sailing time of any boat operating on the river. Surrendering to the rhythm of the Nile, an entirely new side of Egypt unfurls before you: empty temples, lush islands, village markets, and remote stretches of the river that feel almost undiscovered. Nour El Nil is a celebration of the destinations that emerge when you slow to appreciate the journey ✨ — #nilecruise #egypt #dahabiya #nileriver #egypttravel
  • Just wrapped up my 5th group trip and our FIRST EVER luxury “classics” tour through Jordan & Egypt— and we’re just feeling so incredibly grateful that this gets to be our job 🥹🥰 We travelled through Jordan & Egypt a total of SEVEN times in the last few years to build this latest itinerary, personally trying every restaurant, hotel, attraction, and countless alternatives in order to craft my perfect version of this journey. There’s so much work that goes on behind the scenes, but building & running custom trips around the world is truly a labour of love for me— and I feel so strongly that our VALUE is in creating something unique, always underpinned by personal experience, never copied or corporate or mass-produced. In the excited lead-up to the trip, I told James that this must be how a painter or a musician feels, pouring all of their time and passion into creating something meant to evoke a powerful emotion, where the reward is in watching people connect with that creation. The true joy of this job is in taking people on a curated journey through these places that I love so much— and then watching them fall in love themselves. I obsess over the order, the pacing, the inclusions and the cuts, because this journey is my love-letter to Jordan or Egypt or (later this year) Ethiopia. And then to hear guests call it ✨the trip of a lifetime✨ it’s everything. I’m unbelievably grateful for everyone who trusted us with this trip & that our entire group was able to experience the magic of these 2 incredible countries for themselves, even amidst a lot of regional uncertainty. Thank you for embarking on my love letter ❤️
  • I always thought I was a summer gal… but we spent 3 months in Scandinavia this winter and it was, without question, one of the BEST trips I’ve done in nearly 6 years of full-time travel. Turns out, winter is MAGICAL!!! We hiked popular summits without a single other person, saw Northern Lights on more than 30 different nights, made friends with local reindeer (then ate their friends & family for dinner, very sorry), witnessed midday sunsets and complete polar night, and spent literally hundreds of hours in the sauna. It’s hard to even describe how amazing this trip was, but we’re already booked to go back to Norway & Sweden for 3 months next winter to do it all over again 😅 — #norway #lofoten #sweden #winterinnorway
  • Over a year since I’ve been able to climb in ANY capacity (since my very dramatic knee surgery last April), so I can’t tell you how sweet it was to go ice climbing in Sweden & Finland this winter. Like an enormous leap back to myself 🥰 Not setting any speed records or impressing anyone with my technique lol but just genuinely happy to be able to move my body again, to be outside, to spend even a few minutes focused on something other than the pain. Grateful for the progress I’ve made & hopefully for the progress still to come— we’ve got some big goals this year, an ice wall is only the beginning 🏔️⛏️ — #iceclimbing #finland #finnishlapland #pyhä
  • 6 years of full-time travel and still not smart enough to correctly count 90 days within a 180-day period 😅 (also an unsponsored ad for 🔗 schengensimple.com which we downloaded PROMPTLY to avoid any future miscalculations) This story is definitely part of a larger conversation about passport privilege— because I’m sure if we were holding a different country’s passport, we would have had a VASTLY different experience with this accidental overstay. All in all, I feel insanely fortunate to have only gotten a fine and I’m eager not to test the system a 2nd time 😳 — #schengen #eu #travelstories #travelmistakes @schengen_simple

Nour El Nil is a celebration of the destinations that emerge when you slow to appreciate the journey ✨ — #nilecruise #egypt #dahabiya #nileriver #egypttravel

Just wrapped up my 5th group trip and our FIRST EVER luxury “classics” tour through Jordan & Egypt— and we’re just feeling so incredibly grateful that this gets to be our job 🥹🥰 We travelled through Jordan & Egypt a total of SEVEN times in the last few years to build this latest itinerary, personally trying every restaurant, hotel, attraction, and countless alternatives in order to craft my perfect version of this journey. There’s so much work that goes on behind the scenes, but building & running custom trips around the world is truly a labour of love for me— and I feel so strongly that our VALUE is in creating something unique, always underpinned by personal experience, never copied or corporate or mass-produced. In the excited lead-up to the trip, I told James that this must be how a painter or a musician feels, pouring all of their time and passion into creating something meant to evoke a powerful emotion, where the reward is in watching people connect with that creation. The true joy of this job is in taking people on a curated journey through these places that I love so much— and then watching them fall in love themselves. I obsess over the order, the pacing, the inclusions and the cuts, because this journey is my love-letter to Jordan or Egypt or (later this year) Ethiopia. And then to hear guests call it ✨the trip of a lifetime✨ it’s everything. I’m unbelievably grateful for everyone who trusted us with this trip & that our entire group was able to experience the magic of these 2 incredible countries for themselves, even amidst a lot of regional uncertainty. Thank you for embarking on my love letter ❤️

I always thought I was a summer gal… but we spent 3 months in Scandinavia this winter and it was, without question, one of the BEST trips I’ve done in nearly 6 years of full-time travel. Turns out, winter is MAGICAL!!! We hiked popular summits without a single other person, saw Northern Lights on more than 30 different nights, made friends with local reindeer (then ate their friends & family for dinner, very sorry), witnessed midday sunsets and complete polar night, and spent literally hundreds of hours in the sauna. It’s hard to even describe how amazing this trip was, but we’re already booked to go back to Norway & Sweden for 3 months next winter to do it all over again 😅 — #norway #lofoten #sweden #winterinnorway

Over a year since I’ve been able to climb in ANY capacity (since my very dramatic knee surgery last April), so I can’t tell you how sweet it was to go ice climbing in Sweden & Finland this winter. Like an enormous leap back to myself 🥰 Not setting any speed records or impressing anyone with my technique lol but just genuinely happy to be able to move my body again, to be outside, to spend even a few minutes focused on something other than the pain. Grateful for the progress I’ve made & hopefully for the progress still to come— we’ve got some big goals this year, an ice wall is only the beginning 🏔️⛏️ — #iceclimbing #finland #finnishlapland #pyhä

6 years of full-time travel and still not smart enough to correctly count 90 days within a 180-day period 😅 (also an unsponsored ad for 🔗 schengensimple.com which we downloaded PROMPTLY to avoid any future miscalculations) This story is definitely part of a larger conversation about passport privilege— because I’m sure if we were holding a different country’s passport, we would have had a VASTLY different experience with this accidental overstay. All in all, I feel insanely fortunate to have only gotten a fine and I’m eager not to test the system a 2nd time 😳 — #schengen #eu #travelstories #travelmistakes @schengen_simple
