I’m Hamed, someone who somehow turned his love for wandering into a tour company on the wild island of Socotra. I’ve got an IT background, but I’d rather talk about mountains, waves, and the people I meet along the way. I don’t really believe in bad experiences. Every crazy, unexpected, or even annoying thing that happens just becomes a story later. Sometimes the best memories come from the moments we thought were disasters. Like Paulo Coelho once said: “You drown not by falling into a river, but by staying submerged in it.” That’s exactly how I see life، you get up, laugh, learn, move on. I love random talks that start with “just 10 minutes” and end three hours later with too much laughter and cold coffee. I enjoy getting lost, both in cities and in thoughts, and I trust the universe to always lead me somewhere interesting. I once read that “We travel not to escape life, but so life doesn’t escape us.” The quiet moments mean a lot to me watching the sea at night, the smell of rain, a song that reminds you of someone you haven’t met yet. So yeah, I’m the type who smiles when the plan falls apart, because I know something better might be waiting just around the corner.
