About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Be Happy :)

ABOUT ME

I am an easy going and very optimistic person because I know that being optimistic makes you enjoy life more!

I want to learn lots of things but it seems that I never have enough time, that's why I try to learn at least one thing from each traveler/person I meet.

I am passionate about languages and nature which I enjoy with all my senses...that's why I recently started two projects :an Arabic school and a hiking group.

I recently discovered that I love watching clouds especially from the plane :)

That's all what can be shared here, the rest is to be discovered in person!

PHILOSOPHY

I like to enjoy every moment..while I still can.
