ABOUT ME
I am currently working with the European Commission Delegation in Beirut (EU), precisely in the Humanitarian Aid Department. I travel much internally and regionally with my work and access on a weekly basis refugee camps in Lebanon, where we deliver relief aid when needed, infrastructure and economic support as well as psychological aid for children..
i have worked in emergency situations as the 2006 war in lebanon..was extremely intense and frustrating, but for the good cause..
I am a hard worker, believe in a hard work week to enjoy the week-ends and regularly take a good week or two-week travel every 3 or 4 months.
I live in my small place in Beirut. I luv my city, find it much cosmopolitan, cultural, vibrant, fun, (i compare her to a crazy sensual woman) fluctuating in terms of security, however lebanese people are know to have the most of resilience...
i have survived several wars and conflicts and this develpped my eagerness to life and experiences...
I am a smoker and have mood swings! it is not a cause to effect equation though! ;-)
PHILOSOPHY
Take the most out of everything
Everything happens for a certain reason, nooo random universe

De Niro just rocks!...
