I am a down-to-earth person
Journalist, researcher, translator who successfully survived the tsunami of the Arab Spring :p
Plan to write my memoirs in the next few years: couchsurfing should help me with that
Planning to pursue a PhD in political anthropology/nationalism studies in the next couple of years
