Before Anna was a tour leader, she lived alone in a hut in the Himalayas. No electricity. No running water. She banged a pan each morning to warn the snakes she was coming.

Anna was built for this.

In this episode — a motorbike robbery in KL that took the tour funds, the passports, and everything else. SARS quarantine in Bangkok. Pigs on motorbikes in northern Thailand. And an unexpected invitation to break fast with a family living in Cairo's City of the Dead.

She also met her husband on a Cairo rooftop, got married on a Thai beach, and let a gecko decide which city to call home.

Enjoy.

P.S If this brought back memories — send it to someone you travelled with.
