A woman on a post-divorce holiday to 'find herself' fell in love with her Egyptian tour guide and got engaged to him after just three weeks. Gina Quiñones, 32, always dreamed of going to Egypt but says "life and marriage got in the way".
She suffered with depression after losing her nail business during the pandemic and divorcing her husband in August 2021 after 10 years together. Gina decided to jet off to Hurghada, Egypt, in January 2022, on a solo travel trip to "disconnect from reality and embrace the Egyptian history and culture".
Before jetting off, Gina researched and booked a tour guide, Abdel Amin, 31, who showed her all the sights during her three-week holiday. On the 14th day of the trip, on a White Desert excursion, the pair couldn't deny their romantic feelings on the secluded moon-lit plains.
