About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Travel and see as much of the world as I can, photographing it and making beautiful art along the way
ABOUT ME
I grew up moving mostly throughout asia and the middle east. American Lebanese origins. At 22 years old, I've lived in 8 countries, never spending more than 4.5 years in one country. Moving around all the time, i've had to adapt very quickly. As a result I'm a very outgoing, and social. I love talking and spending time with all kinds of people, even if we don't speak the same language. Traveling has also made me very optimistic and happy. I can always entertain myself and have a fascination with science, nature and the physical world. I spend a lot of my time outdoors. I love to be in nature, and in the Sun. I always have my camera with me.
I've just graduated from University in San Francisco and am on a Journey to see as much of the world as I can. Tokyo is my next stop

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Himalayas, India- Living in India for 2 years when I was 7-8 years old, we took a trip up to the Himalayas where we did some hiking. One of the days we walked up a mountain through the clouds into a village of untouchables, where the locals consider themselves to be holy, and foreigners are restricted to a pathway. We stayed in a place on the outskirts of the village that night.
New Zealand- Skydiving. 2 week road trip on the south island. For study abroad I went to New Zealand and did a 2 week road trip sleeping in a different place every night on the south island. The stars were incredible in the mountains, and we walked through glaciers, jungles, lakes, among a variety of landscapes. We travelled by car, boat, walking, hitchhiking, and bus. Wonderful country, with beautiful landscapes, and friendly people.
