Miami, FL, USA to Hurghada, Egypt – My 7-Stop Bucket List Adventure 🌍✈️🐬

Some trips you plan.

Some trips just happen.

This one? It started with a $127.50 French Bee ticket I couldn’t resist 🀯 and turned into a whirlwind of 7 destinations across 3 continents before finally arriving in my new homeβ€”Hurghada, Egypt.

Here’s how it all went down:

1️⃣ Miami, Florida β†’ Paris, France πŸ‡«πŸ‡· ✈️

The journey began in my home in Miami. From the moment I landed in Paris, I went full tourist modeβ€”gazing up at the Eiffel Tower and enjoying the biggest, flakiest croissant I’ve ever eaten πŸ₯. Paris was just a taste of what was to come. πŸ’‘Pro Tip – call in advance to order your croissant!

2️⃣ Paris β†’ Amsterdam, Netherlands πŸ‡³πŸ‡± 🚌

Instead of hopping on another plane, I took a 6-hour bus ride from Paris to Amsterdam. Rotterdam’s windmill tour was straight out of a postcardβ€”rolling green fields, traditional wooden houses, and those iconic windmills spinning against the sky. I took a step back in time and entered into a bakery where they allowed dress up lol so you know I went for it. Cruising on the Amstel River in style while soaking up the views of the city and an amazing history lesson.

3️⃣ Amsterdam β†’ London, England πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ ⛴️

I crossed the channel by ferry to London, where I packed in the sights: Buckingham Palace, the London Eye, Big Ben and London Bridge. I even spotted the famous red double-decker buses whizzing by, which felt like stepping into a movie.

4️⃣ London β†’ Morocco πŸ‡²πŸ‡¦ ✈️

Morocco was pure magic. I fed wild monkeys in the Cedar ForrestπŸ’, visited one of the country’s largest waterfalls πŸ’¦, and ended the day with a dinner & traditional Moroccan show under the stars in the desert. The famous blue city in Chefchaouen.

5️⃣ Morocco β†’ Spain πŸ‡ͺπŸ‡Έ ✈️

This leg was a little less glamorousβ€”Spain welcomed me with the flu πŸ€’. Even sick, I still soaked up the architecture, warm weather, and delicious food (though my taste buds were on vacation too). I did experience new memories by being shut in a capsule in an hostel. Lol sick & securedπŸ˜‚.

6️⃣ Madrid, Spain β†’ Cairo, Egypt πŸ‡ͺπŸ‡¬ ✈️

Egypt was a dream come true. I toured the Great Pyramids of Giza, cruised down the Nile River, and even joined in a belly dancing performance πŸ’ƒ. The history, the culture, the energyβ€”Cairo had it all.

7️⃣ Cairo β†’ Hurghada, Egypt 🚌

Finally, after a 5-hour bus ride, I arrived in Hurghadaβ€”my new home on the Red Sea. I rented an apartment for only $100 and recently ticked off another bucket list item: swimming with dolphins 🐬 in the crystal-clear waters while during a 6 Island tour in Hurghada. ‼️Seeing the Dolphins isn’t garaunteed nor is swimming with them.

Where to next?

This journey wasn’t just about travelβ€”it was about saying β€œyes” to opportunities, embracing detours, and discovering new corners of the world.

Now that you’ve got Hurghada, Egypt on lock, you have to check out my unforgettable Nile River dinner cruise in Cairo, Egypt. I danced with a belly dancer and ate Egyptian dessert with a full buffet while floating on the Nile River. No big deal tho. 😎
