About me
About me
Hello! I'm a global nomad and have lived in 8 countries. I work as a creative writer, editor and marketer, and my favourite things are meeting people and hearing their unique stories. Home is many places, but always where my family and friends are.
Why Beirut
For me Beirut is all about the people here - their warmth, generosity and resilience! The city is dynamic, fast-paced and has everything from amazing beach clubs and cafes, to galleries, and incredible food. There’s a story to be told about every building and corner of the city.

Cosy dining spot with rotating chefs
"Makan" in Beirut has no set cuisine: Thai, Greek, Uzbek, Peruvian or Georgian... it all depends on the chef and the day! Very welcoming atmosphere.
