YOUR GUIDE
Tina Johansen
Founder, Next Pure Journey & Next Purity Certified Health Coach
Tina Johansen is the founder of Next Pure Journey and your personal guide to this transformative experience in Egypt.
As a Certified Health Coach, Tina works with the holistic person. She specializes in gut health and the connection between the gut-brain axis that is connected through the vagus nerve, and teaches how we can use self-mastery as a guide to the meaning of life.
Tina is fascinated by the power of thought and the ability of people to shape their own lives with the right tools. She sees spirituality as a natural part of our biology, not as mysticism. In a time when many are moving away from the biologically rooted, she wants to be a counterbalance that holds on to nature's own wisdom in the belief that this is what makes us feel good about ourselves.
With Egypt as her second home, two sons with Egyptian backgrounds, and being part of the wellness community in El Gouna, Tina knows both the culture and the country inside out. Since 2012, she has dreamed of sharing Egypt’s transformative power through experiential travel that creates safe spaces for inner growth.
Tina's philosophy:
"Only when you have learned to take responsibility for your own health can you be a source of safety for those around you."
Self-mastery is about taking responsibility for yourself, so that you can be present for those closest to you – even when it feels uncomfortable.
Reviews
We will experience this together.
In between private boat trips where we snorkel with dolphins to a full moon gathering in the desert with a beautiful sunset and starry sky, we will also meet local expert and world-renowned Tereza Dos Santos for a private floating sound meditation. This experience is not to be missed.
However, if you want to take it easy, you are welcome to do so too! All needs are taken care of.

Is it safe for women to travel to Egypt? Absolutely! Tina has lived in Egypt and traveled there many times alone and with her children. El Gouna is specifically built for international guests and has high safety standards. El Gouna has its own security personnel and Egypt actually has its own tourist police. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs does not have any travel advice for this region.
What if I need medical help? El Gouna has modern medical facilities, its own hospital and pharmacy. Tina knows the system and has contacts. We also have Norwegian travel insurance as a backup. You are never without help.
How do we get to and from the airport? ack A is all included! Either Tina meets you at the airport or we send a reliable driver to pick you up. Transportation to and from is part of the service and your peace of mind.
Which airport do we fly to? Hurghada airport (HRG). It is a 30 min drive to El Gouna. Norwegian and several airlines fly there from Norway, often with a stopover in Copenhagen, Turkey or Amsterdam. Contact us and we will help you. Pegasus is often the cheapest, about 3000,- T/R.
Do we need a visa? Visas can be purchased at the airport upon arrival. Costs 30 dollars - about 300 NOK per person. Withdraw at least 30 dollars at Gardermoen and it will go faster.
What should I pack? A detailed packing list will be sent upon booking! Mainly: light summer clothes, swimwear, sneakers for the desert trip, sunscreen, something a little fancier for dinners, jacket and sweater for the evening. The temperature in Egypt is 25-30 degrees in December.
How physically demanding are the programs? Everything is tailored to the group! Yoga can be beginner level. The desert hike is a leisurely stroll. Floating meditation is relaxing. Snorkeling is optional. No one has to do anything they are not comfortable with. This is not boot camp - this is luxury wellness!
Can we opt out of activities? Of course! Everything is optional. Some may not want to snorkel, others not the desert tour. You decide for yourself what you want to participate in. We have included a good balance of planned activities and free time so that it does not feel stressful even with many experiences. Most of the activities are calm so it will not be demanding for most people.
What about food and allergies? Food schedule sent in advance! There will be a buffet for most meals with Gluten Free, Vegetarian, allergies - everything is handled. The food is anti-inflammatory and healing for a well-functioning gut.
Can I come alone? Absolutely! Many people come alone. It is actually often easier to open up and bond when you don't have people you know with you. The group becomes like a family. All participants are handpicked for good group dynamics.
What about cancellation policies? Flexible rules until one month before departure. After that, gradual reduction. Recommend travel insurance as a backup. If an agreement is made, the deposit is not refundable.
How is the booking process? 1. Book the trip and pay a deposit. 2. Free consultation where we check if the trip is right for you. 2. If this is the trip for you, the booking will be carried out as agreed. If not, the deposit will be refunded. 3. Preparations and information until departure. No pressure, this is about finding the right people.
Can I book my own accommodation and do the rest? Absolutely! We understand that it may be safer to have your own accommodation. You are free to join all activities and workshops (Package B or C) and book your own flights and accommodation.
Will there be more opportunities? Yes, we will arrange this trip in connection with the Raabta festival every year. We will also have trips on the Nile and other wellness trips with other specialists.

What currency is used in Egypt? In Egypt they use the Egyptian pound. This is 4 - 5 times lower than NOK, so there is money to save here. They also accept Euro or USD in most places. Cards can be used everywhere and cash can be withdrawn from ATMs.
