CURRENT MISSION

Find a way to move to Scandinavia permanently ;)

ABOUT ME

To sum it up; I am a very curious person who loves to have fun, experiment with nature photography, see the world and observe people! Originally from Egypt, now living in the flat lands of Netherlands

My biggest passion is mountain hiking & trekking, but I just got a skiing accident and tore my knee , so no hiking for 12 months!! (or may be we can start a movement of crutch hiking :P)

I am in deep love with Scandinavia, especially Norway. I can't get enough from that place!
