Almost 20 years ago, I went on an all-inclusive holiday to Egypt 🇪🇬
One of only two I’ve ever done.
Here I am, snorkelling in the Red Sea — amazed by a whole new world 🌊🐠
Back then, it was mostly about ticking off sights and enjoying the buffet.
These days, I travel a bit differently. I usually skip the busiest tourist spots, rent a small Airbnb, try local dishes, pop into neighbourhood shops, and soak up the everyday rhythm.
I’ve started paying more attention too — trying to experience places with all my senses, like I did when I was a kid. The crunch of gravel underfoot, the smell of something cooking nearby, the way light falls on an old wall.
No right or wrong way to travel — just different ways to explore. For me, slowing down and being mindful makes the memories last longer.
Do you travel like this too?
