CURRENT MISSION

My mission is to avoid formulating any sort of a missions. Big stories are bad faith.

ABOUT ME

I'm a PhD student at the London School of Economics, I study Social Anthropology and also a little bit of Arabic.

I'm a fan of Syria and have visited twice now for around 5months.

I will be moving to Damascus for a year in September 2011

I'm somewhat obsessed with the near east, with its food, people, architecture, way of life and history.
