ABOUT ME

PHILOSOPHY

I think of a qoute by Mark Twain every time I'm heading for something I'm not quite sure on:

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Diving in the sea outside Phi Phi in Thailand and the nature of Honduras. The friendliness of Palestinian in refugees camp in Lebanon, even though they are going through a lot. The party at the Egyptian Embassy in Lebanon after Mubarak took off. And a lot more to come.

Teach, Learn, Share

I want to learn more about cultures and conflicts around the world. I want to speak languages like Spanish, English, Arabic and Russian on an expert level. I want to understand how things works other places in the world. I want to understand the world. And I want to dive, have fun and be a part of greatness.

I'm not the best chef, but I've worked at restaurants several times, both as chef, waiter and dish-washer. Now I'm learning to be a good photographer and videographer. I've been working as a photographer for newspapers and I've filmed a lot, both live-work(concerts, plays etc.) and films(documentaries, short films etc.)-
