CURRENT MISSION

To continue enjoying life.

ABOUT ME

I'm a journalist currently living in New York, but traveling often.

Before this I lived in Lebanon for five years (Sep. 2012 to Sep. 2017). I absolutely loved my experience in that country and had the opportunity to travel to many Middle Eastern countries as well. After that, I spent 18 months traveling all over.

I grew up in a village in Michigan, not too far from Chicago. I attended university in Michigan, but also studied abroad in South America and Europe. I've had the chance to travel a lot in my life, especially since relocating to Lebanon. I was very happy in that country and you could say I kind of fell in love and got stuck for awhile. But after five years, I decided to wander a bit ... until I settled in New York.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The most incredible thing I have done is to ride on top of a safari truck in Tanzania while racing antelope and zebras.

Moving to Beirut was an amazing thing as well.
