CURRENT MISSION

Travel the world

ABOUT ME

I am an outgoing person who wants to travel in order to get to know as many cultures as possible. Languages are fascinating to me and I always try to pick up a few words in the country where I am. The more languages you speak, the more lives you live. I love sports, especially tennis and I play it for fun. I love meeting new people and share ideas with them, regardless of their age, sex, religion. I can't wait to travel again :)

Being a Pisces, I am also a dreamer. My thoughts are carrying me in places I have never visited, stepping out of reality and being at a calm and comforting place :)

PHILOSOPHY

Everyone should enjoy their life to the fullest :) It's important to do what lies closest to your heart.

I am a dreamer. I know so little of real life that I just can't help re-living such moments as these in my dreams, for such moments are sth I have very rarely experienced. - Dostoyevsky

A tramp, a gentleman, a poet, a dreamer, a lonely fellow, always hopeful of romance and adventure. - Chaplin

"You’re a dreamer, boy,” he said. “Your mind is on the moon, and from the looks of things, it’s never
going to be anywhere else. You have no ambitions, you don’t give a damn about money, and you’re
too much of a philosopher to have any feeling for art. What am I going to do with you? You need
someone to look after you, to make sure you have food in your belly and a bit of cash in your pocket.
Once I’m gone, you’ll be right back where you started.” - Paul Auster

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The Magic Fountains in Barcelona took my breath away! Literally, I was aghast! Tenerife, the island with so many faces is a place I will never forget.

I carry Bahrain in my soul wherever I go. Its people, camels, sand, wind and bazaars have left a deep impression on me.

Leeds has offered me SO much! Visited the York Cathedral, experienced the beauties of Lake District and the hospitality of Yorkshire people :)

Scotland - visited the castle in Edinburgh and climbed the famous Arthur's seat :) Felt wonderful on that mount :)

Belfast - a lovely but queer city :) The Giant Causeway felt like I was on the edge of the Earth :)

Dubai - On top of the Burj Khalifa - a wonderful experience, seeing an ultra modern city from so high above.

Oman - Swam in the clear waters of Wadi Al Shab, saw the most amazing canyons, hitchhiked in an oil tank truck for more than 200 kms, visited the beautiful Nizwa and ate the most delicious byrianni, was on the top of Jebel Shams (3000 m), what a view, experienced country life in Al Hamra, saw the Muscat sunset

Egypt- what a beauty!!! - Luxor (full of history and ancient temples whispering the stories of the pharaons), Valley of the Kings - there is something speacial about that place; Cairo - order in chaos; Alexandria - a magical city on the Mediterranean

Thailand - Ko Samui (heaven on earth) - sat in the water and watched the beautiful sunset; Bangkok (party on Khaosan Road); Chiang Mai - enjoyed delightful nature from the top of one of the highest mountains in Thailand
