About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to explore the world and live a live worth living

ABOUT ME

I am a 29 year old PhD student from Hamburg with Dutch-Syrian roots. So I am a bit of a mash up between two occidental cultures and the orient. I am doing my PhD in social sciences in berlin at the moment but luckily my work allows me to travel a lot. I have lived abroad in a couple of countries in Europe and the Middle East.

I am passionate about everything I do. especially about the things that I love doing: traveling and getting to know other cultures and people, playing waterpolo, hiking in the wild and up mountaints, cooking and eating good food and studying politics.

PHILOSOPHY

live everyday like its your last
grand everyone the freedom you would want them to grand you
