Runaway Photo Of The Week: 12/12/11

December 14, 2011 by The Runaway Guide 3 Comments

a view of the Nile from Elephantine island in Aswan Egypt

This photo is of the Nile River from Elephantine Island in Aswan, Egypt. As the Nile navigates north, passing and smoothing out its surroundings, it looks like something out of Egypt land at Disney World. It makes for some exciting exploring and Felucca sailing. Though the waters of the Nile look enticing, when the current is weak, beware of catching bilharzia or snail larve that can penetrate ones skin and lay eggs beneath it. So instead of swimming to the Island, catch a ferry for 17cents.

Who Is The Runaway Guide?

When I was 16 I ran away from home and traveled the world with nothing but the clothes on my back. Over 10 years later and I'm still "on the run," surviving in style, thriving off adventure, searching for that elusive road to enlightenment, and cultivating the life of travel that I want to live.
