I am a recent graduate with a deep desire to explore the world and experience as much of it as I can. Curiosity drives everything I do. I’ve always been the person who asks “why?” at every opportunity. That question has guided most of my biggest life decisions. I studied Physics, Philosophy, and Entrepreneurship, and I’m now pursuing a life of travel to keep exploring the biggest questions.

2 years ago I backpacked through thailand and laos. During that time, I fell in love with an amazing dish called mango sticky rice which ultimately inspired me to start Aroi Mango, a street-food startup dedicated to Mango Sticky Rice, with absolutely no food experience.

I’m currently based in Pennsylvania, USA, but I spent 15 years living in Abu Dhabi, UAE, and also studied abroad in Copenhagen, Denmark. I speak English and Arabic fluently and a little bit of Thai. I love connecting with locals and fellow travelers to hear their stories and understand the world through their experiences.
