About Me

CURRENT MISSION

my life

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

Interests

Traveling, eating, Walking, reading, Musiiic, watching sitcoms!, Documentaries (about Universe among others), Yoga (beginner), suDoku, biking, coffee and Cigarettes with close friends (best hah), browsing the net (addict)
I am an Environmental fanatic and constantly intreagued by the functionning of the Universe...

I am enchanted by everything that is about Archeology and that carries within it a long valuable historical path. I actually started Archeology studies in 95, however had to stop to start another major. So, basically, I always carry, and can t help it, the stupid yet authentic fascinated look on my face whenever I come across some historical and archeological site or ruins, stone, bench, pipe, you name it...

Woody Allen movies (have to re-watch, have seen most of them when much younger, but remember having liked them!); mainly drama catches me; Fernando Mirelles, Almodovar, Guy Richie, Twisted Tarrantino; I luv watching ben Stiller, i think he can convincingly go into the skin of complicated characters. De Niro just rocks!...

have read to quite several writers
