Overview
About Me
I traveled across Eastern Europe and MENA for 10 months as Regional Manager at Seedstars World, and Co-curator TEDxBeirut before that. I love to travel looking for startups and creative companies changing the world, meet the people doing it. I couch surf and airbnb. You can find me on airbnb here: https://www.airbnb.com/users/show/5806947
