Run Away To Egypt

Berlin v Paris

August 9, 2012 by The Runaway Guide Leave a Comment

Comparing Berlin v Paris as the best city in Europe is a challenge, as both cities are bursting with enough history, art and vibrant nightlife to keep the most avid of tourists spoiled for choice.

August 9, 2012 by The Runaway Guide 8 Comments

The road was the most desolate road I had ever attempted to hitchhike. Aside from a few huts, which sparsely dotted the hillsides, there was nothing but untamed fields, dried out riverbeds and the dirt road ahead. I was in the Wild West of East Africa, better known as the Ethiopian Highlands. After two hours […]

There’s no city like Cairo. No city where the sugar cane juice is always on tap. Where Shawma, Koshary, Fried Cheese Sandwich’s and Pigeon can be bought on nearly every corner. Where the beats blast so loud from speakers jerry rigged to scooters that the reverberations shake ones inner ear to a blissful nausea. It’s […]

June 9, 2012 by The Runaway Guide 13 Comments

At breakfast we came across a Dutch fellow who recounted some recent anecdotes of how he tripped acid while being interrogated by Nepalese police and how he spent 2500 euro after a drunken night at a Katmandu Casino. Later, I asked him advice about Angkor Wat and he very adamantly suggested we sneak in to […]
