I am from Beirut, Lebanon. I am an amateur photographer and published poetry writer. I run a communications agency and a data analysis non profit. I have been traveling for 20+ countries in the last 10 years, and I love meeting new people from different backgrounds and learn from their experiences and views on life. I love to talk about philosophy, psychology, mythology, movies and books.

Music, Movies, and Books

I enjoy a lot of books, music and movies. My taste is not very commercial and am not an expert on any of the topics. My readings vary between Pablo Neruda, Walt Whitman and Mahmoud Darwich in poetry to Milan Kundera, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Elif Chafak and others in novels. I have a bigger list of Arabic writers though.

As for movies, one of my favorite directors is Andrei Tarkovsky and I also enjoy the works of Fellini, Scorsese and others. I am not a Hollywood action fan, but some releases are actually very interesting.
