Über mich

CURRENT MISSION

To live life to it's fullest, give something back, and laugh a lot.

ABOUT ME

we're a crazy couple from different parts of the world bound together by our love for traveling, adventure, and an instant connection.

Atiaf: I was born in Sana'a, Yemen, then moved to Beirut, Lebanon; then to Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, and finally settled in Washington,D.C area. Two years ago I moved to Cairo, and I'm now back in my birth place, living there for the first time, in my family home.

Benjamin: I was born in Arras France, and moved around France, then finally moved to Cairo for three years where I met Atiaf. We moved to Yemen in September 2010.

PHILOSOPHY

"The more I learn, the less I know."

"Live life."
