Emma the Expat Gym Bunny

I go to the gym to do aerobics a couple of times a week here.  For some reason, I am always the only mzungu in the class.  The instructors are great.  My classmates tolerate my mis-steps; our ages range from 25-65 years and we are a mix of men and women. Sometimes the music is global, at other times it's 100% Lingala.  I've been doing this for over 10 years. There's a fun, non threatening, even jovial atmosphere. I love it. Emma is not quite so sure...

  1. Hi there,

    I am a television producer working for major independent production company Optomen Television in London. We are currently producing a new documentary series for Channel 4 (in the UK) about people who have quit the rat race and moved to live in remote locations the world. It will be an inspirational series following the incredible stories of ordinary people who are living a unique way of life in some of the most beautiful and breath-taking places. Our research team in London is currently looking for suitable stories to feature in the series and we're keen to contact people who may be interested in taking part.

    I thought I would contact you to see if you could be interested, or perhaps you are in contact with any people that have given up city living to set up home in a remote area in Egypt with an interesting story to tell?

    Do feel free to circulate this information.

    Any help you can provide is much appreciated. Looking forward to hearing from you.

    Many thanks and Kind Regards,
