Issue 52: Thank You + Year In Review (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Hi team. It’s been 52 weeks- one whole year since I embarked on my journey to Egypt. This is the final issue of Zoe in Cairo, although I haven’t been in Cairo for a little bit now :) As I say goodbye to this incredible journey and prepare to return to Washington, D.C., I want to offer a few final reflections and highlights from each month of my incredible life in Cairo. SeptemberSeptember was a chaotic month of moving across the world and starting my first adult job in a city that felt endlessly
Issue 51: Zoe Not In Cairo (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Zoe: It is the penultimate Zoe in Cairo, and I am safely back in the United States of America. This week has been spent in all corners of Oregon: from Portland to the coast to the high desert. And of course, I’ve had a great guide alongside me to facilitate my re-entry (Lucy Sascha Carver).Lucy: Rumor has it Zoe only came back to the US because Zoe in Cairo viewership peaked and has now plummeted since my three-week takeover in June. Apparently, popular demand finally won out, and she had no cho
Issue 50: Can't Stop Caucasusing (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Hello from Heathrow Airport! You didn’t think I’d head back to America without slipping in one final trip, did you?

While I might not have chosen Armenia and Georgia by myself, I

So it’s true, I am ending my program a few weeks early. My next job starts at the end of August, so I’m taking the month to travel (locations to come :) ) and visit my home in Portland before settling back in to Washington, D.C. So with that, I have officially departed from Egypt, for the last time, for the foreseeable
Issue 48: Iskndrya (opens the original)
Read excerpt
As I approach the twilight of my time in Egypt, I spent my last full weekend in the same place I spent one of my first weekends: Alexandria. Or, to the Egyptian voice, Iskndrya. This trip followed a whirlwind week of tourism for Ella around Cairo: Saladin Citadel, Coptic Cairo, the Egyptian Museum of Civilization, the Grand Egyptian Museum, a felucca, and of course, the pyramids. It was all the hits in one mad rush and in a grueling Egyptian heatwave. We decided to slow down for the weekend and
