Former North Shore resident Mia Ayoub spent her formative years in Egypt before moving to New Zealand with her family when she was eight.
But she always thought she'd return to the country of her birth one day.
Having moved back to Egypt nearly a decade ago, Mia now runs a kitesurfing school along with her fellow half Egyptian/half Kiwi sister, Sophie, in the resort town of El Gouna on Egypt's Red Sea Coast.
The sisters have been running Kite Tribe since 2017, while Mia also oversees an arm of the family business (started by her grandfather in Cairo 50 years ago) in El Gouna, selling ceramics and other handmade products from Egypt and Turkey.
She's Calling Home this morning.
