About me
About me
I'm a Lebanese born in 1994, raised in Zimbabwe and currently living in Beirut and working with UNICEF. I consider myself a traveler, humanitarian, poet, writer, human rights activist and a global citizen. I have worked with different vulnerable communities in 7 different countries and have traveled to around 26 countries so far. I am passionate about places, cities, people and books!
Why Beirut
I love Beirut for its simplicity, diversity and historical marks. Beirut is a small city where you can go anywhere any day and any time. You can feel like you are in different cities just a small distance away from each other.
