I felt safe in the Marina area around the hotel—we were in Pickalbatros. We had a nice person, a diver, who helped us with shopping in the marina and made us feel even safer. We went diving; the fish there were even more colorful than the ones in Sharm El Sheikh. The food was good—though we did need to take meds, of course.

About me

Hey, I’m Laura! I’m 19, born in Slovenia with Bosnian and Serbian roots, so you could say traveling is in my blood. I spent 10 years living in Germany, helping out in my family’s hotel, and now I’m living it up in Marsa Alam, Egypt, working in guest relations and animation. I’m all about exploring, meeting new people, and chasing the sun. Let’s swap travel stories and tips!
