ABOUT ME

I'm an American living in Qatar. I moved to Europe to work in July 2007 after graduating from a small liberal arts school in southern California. I finished a masters program in Mannheim and then moved to Qatar in 2015 to found a tech start up, which is now up and running.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe we are all connected and part of the human family. I love beauty, travel and animals. Checkout my website susannaingalls.com

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Climbed up Mount Sinai through the night to watch the sunrise. Was after the revolution and before 2011 elections. It was risky to travel, as 2 American tourists had been kidnapped two weeks prior to my arrival. I was nonetheless determined to see Sinai, and it was a beautiful experience.

Attended World Economic Forum meetings in Jordan and China. Participated as a virtual panelist with Hamza Yusuf, Tony Blair and David Rossen.

Teach, Learn, Share

Photographers, artists, explorers, entrepreneurs ... basically so many more. We always have something to learn from one another :-)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm well travled and am a respectful, mellow and tidy guest.
