Television of Nomads Currently rolling around the dirt in the Mojave Desert, following the threads of excitement available to us. IG: televisionofnomads We're Renny + Benny! USA
2. St.

We're your friendly internet adventurers + explorers encouraging you to pursue exploration, movement, beauty, curiosity, and to revel in all the magnificent convolutions of our wonderful world. We’re not married (contrary to popular belief!), but we’ve been together for 14 years filled with incredible growth and exploration, through mountains and valleys, geographically and emotionally �. We start

ed as English teachers living in Korea, became travel bloggers, branched out into content creation, and opened our own glampground in the Mojave Desert (), all the while traveling, learning and growing. Our ethos is simple: live YOUR LIFE on YOUR TERMS. That means to organize your life in a way that works for YOU, and to make choices in your life based on PASSION. The "Television of Nomads" is the natural wonder that unfolds in front of our eyes when we go out into the world. It’s the alternative to sitting at home, eyes glued to a screen in a box of a building. Our mission, for ourselves and to inspire in others, is to break out of the box, toss out the script, and instead find ways to see the world and experience life that speak most authentically to ourselves and the planet. �



Whole Lotta Love,
Renny & Benny �

"One of the young Berbers who had helped in our sand baptism gestures to the sky. 'You, at home in America, you have T.V.’s to watch, television…artificial, right? But this…' he says, spreading his arms at the white moon, the black screen so clustered with constellations, with shooting stars, millions of light-years trapped in one singular moment of time...

'this is the television of nomads.'"

Everything You Need to Know About Visiting Abu Simbel 🇪🇬

If you’re going to Egypt, Abu Simbel has to be on your list. It’s one of the most impressive ancient sites we’ve ever seen, but getting there takes some planning. Here’s exactly what you need to know:

1. Getting There 🚗✈️
-By Air: The easiest way—fly from Cairo to Aswan (1.5 hrs), then take a 45-minute flight to Abu Simbel. More expensive but saves time.

-By Road: A 3-4 hour drive from Aswan. Most people go by private car or tour bus, which leaves crazy early (around 4 AM) to avoid the midday heat. We took a local van, but we’ve learned this actually isn’t allowed for tourists in Southern Egypt, so we can’t recommend this.

2. Best Time to Visit ☀️
-Go in the early morning to beat the heat and crowds.

-October to April is the best season—summer is brutally hot.

-If you’re there on February 22 or October 22, you’ll witness the Sun Festival, when sunlight illuminates the inner sanctum of the temple (happens only twice a year).

3. Tickets & Entry 🎟️
-General entry: EGP 300 (~$10 USD)
-Open 5 AM - 6 PM, but go as early as possible.

4. What to Expect Inside 🏛️
-Built by Ramses II, carved straight into a mountain. Insane how well-preserved it is.

-The Great Temple is dedicated to Ramses himself, with four massive statues at the entrance.

-The Small Temple is for his wife, Nefertari (which is rare—most temples weren’t dedicated to queens).

-The entire complex was moved in the 1960s to avoid being submerged by the Aswan High Dam—an engineering marvel in itself.

5. What to Bring 🎒
-Water
-Sunscreen, hat, sunglasses – No shade
-Camera/phone – The site is breathtaking, and you’ll want to capture it.
-Cash – No ATMs nearby.

6. Extra Tips ⚡
-No major food options nearby, so eat beforehand or bring snacks.
-Solo vs. Tour? A tour makes logistics easier, but going solo gives you flexibility.

If you’re planning a trip to Egypt, Abu Simbel is spectacular. It’s remote, but 100% worth it.

tbh we don’t remember why we decided to crouch in the back of a local van in Luxor to hitch a ride to Abu Simbel instead of taking the tourist transportation (Cost? More direct? Both?), but it ended up making us sick as dogs.

As a rule, we prefer taking local transportation when we can—not only is it typically vastly cheaper, but it’s so much more authentic than staying glued to the tourist bubble.

Some of our favorite, COOLEST travel experiences come from wild 3rd class rides on 24 hour trains and 36 hour buses with locals. We’ve shared seats with chickens, had babies thrown in our laps, watched medicinal rituals and ancient card games.

I’d almost always choose stepping over chicken feet and Tibetan monks sprawled on train floors over a boring ol’ air conditioned tourist bus filled with sensible sneakers and f***y packs.

Southern Egypt made this more complicated than normal. I guess tourists aren’t technically supposed to take local transportation there, but for some reason (or several), we ended up stashing ourselves in the backseat of a local van to get ourselves through the 6-8 hour ride, snacking on knockoff Oreos (“Foreos”), past police checkpoints and all.

Guess we got a dose of karma because shortly after arriving in Abu Simbel Benny got extremely sick, sick as a damn dog as we woke up at 4 am to get to the Temple of Ramses. And then in Aswan, his sickness spread to me, making me bedridden and feeling utterly horrible while we were working with an amazing Nubian hotel that had planned this epic tour itinerary for us.

Guess Egypt always gets the final word, eh?!

The Valley of the Kings is incredible, but visiting it feels kind of like going to Disneyland. Trams, ticket booths, crowds, tour groups shuffling from tomb to tomb. It’s hard to connect with the history when you’re packed in with hundreds of other people.

But just a few miles away, it’s a completely different world. We walked out to a lesser-known tomb, the Tomb of Ay, with no one else around except a guard who gave us a ride on his motorbike to his hut. We sat with him in this cool domed hut, shared tea and Sh**ha, and talked with him about his kids.

Egypt is wild like that. You’ve got extreme tourism on one side and real, everyday life happening right next to it. Both exist at the same time, but it’s very easy to stay in the tourist bubble and hardly engage with the real Egypt, if you’d like. For us personally, if we had to choose, we’d always go for the real Egypt 🇪🇬💗

Pretty epic how right next to the crowded tourist hubbub of the main section of the Valley of the Kings in Luxor Egypt is the desolate Tomb of Ay.

A super cool mile or so walk will take you into the rocky wadi with epic views, and at the end you’ll find an ancient Egyptian tomb you can experience all to yourself.

Inside the tomb was so quiet, we were able to sit and meditate and experience it fully to ourselves for as long as we wanted.

Visiting this tomb requires an additional ticket, but it’s absolutely worth it for the chance to have an Egyptian tomb all to yourself.

You should avoid walking to the tomb in the heat of the day, and keep in mind there is ZERO infrastructure or facilities in this area.

But if you’re looking to experience what the Valley of the Kings used to be like before it became a major tourist site, THIS is where we recommend visiting.

Dendera Temple feels like a portal 💡

Dedicated to Hathor, the goddess of love, music, and cosmic energy, its walls are covered in intricate carvings—ancient codes that have survived for over 2,000 years.

Here, you’ll also find one of the oldest depictions of the zodiac, underground crypts shrouded in mystery, and a rooftop where priests once studied the stars.

The so-called “Dendera lightbulb” carving in the temple’s crypt has sparked endless debate—some see an ancient electrical device, while others believe it’s a symbolic depiction of creation and energy in Egyptian mythology.

It’s a place where mythology and history blur, reminding us how much the ancients understood about the universe.

Getting there unexpectedly was a little bit of an adventure, involving police escorts and some confusing cab rides, but we’ll save that for another time 😆

Living a life so guided by travel goes beyond just exploring new places. Uprooting ourselves from the culture we came from, even uprooted from what our culture would consider a standard schedule, and immersing ourselves in such vastly different cultures and ways of life, while never really being part of any of them, inevitably led to us questioning the way we want to live our lives. Questioning everything, really. The more we explore everything from culture to consciousness, the clearer it becomes: living intentionally means stepping outside of what’s expected and choosing what’s truly fit for you. I don’t think you’ll find a better time than now to start, if you haven’t already 🤟

Worry less about being right and use that energy to usher in ✨what’s possible✨

—because clinging to being “right” can feel safe, but it builds walls around your perspective.

Our life on this planet shouldn’t be about proving what we think we know, but opening our eyes to all we don’t (which, I guarantee you, is more than we can currently fathom) 🤟

Traveling to places like Egypt makes it pretty natural to marvel at possibility. For millennia, they defied explanation, proving that human potential is far greater than we can understand, challenging the smallness of certainty.

It reminds you that the universe isn’t limited to what you know or what feels comfortable. It’s expansive, full of stories, ideas, explanations and perspectives that defy everything you thought you understood. And when you stop needing to be “right” and start leaning into those unknowns, you realize just how much more there is to learn, to feel, to experience.

And perhaps that’s the preparation we all need right now—for the massive ideological revolution we’re standing on the edge of—a seismic shift where we stop clinging to what’s “right” and start imagining what’s possible, together.
