One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

1. **Dancing with Danger**
Despite a chorus of warnings, I ventured into madayen in Iraq and visited an ancient site, brushing shoulders with danger and emerged from a close to ISIS encounter.
A tale to captivate my grandchildren at dinner table one day.

2. **Last Minute Drama**
Faced off with my ex at Schiphol Airport in a dramatic showdown that nearly grounded my travel plans. Despite the emotional turbulence, I made it to my gate with seconds to spare – a departure that Hollywood couldn't have scripted better

3. **Historical Handiwork**
Once upon a time in Hama-Syria, I turned the ancient Norias with nothing but my bare hands, leaving my mark on history before they became legends.

4. **Persian Marathon**
Traversed over 5000 km to Paris, not for love or glory, but to celebrate an Iranian friend's birthday. because when it comes to celebrating, I’m not just a guest—I’m the event.
