I’m a traveller. Always hard for me to stay in place as I often need to search, discover and analyze everything. Countries and their cities, people or cultures, techniques or technologies, mind or body and of course ideas and concepts. All for me are destinations and as we all know it’s the journey that counts.

In the past 30 years, I lived all around the world, including USA, UK, KSA, Egypt, Spain, France, Netherlands, Canada, Tanzania, and visited every continent on our planet. I worked and explored many trades from Technology to Design, from Marketing to Operations and going through both the corporate and the entrepreneurial start-up world.

I contemplated several ideologies being an anarchist in my teens, a hard core communist at twenty two, to becoming a driven capitalist in my early thirties and back again today to softer notions and probably settling down as a simple humanist. I explored the realm of the arts; through school first with ten years of theatre acting, writing, directing and producing my own plays. Then with music and keyboards being a pianist at the age of six and today currently developing a photography project. Religion for me has always remained a fantastic ground for search and discovery, still not sure to date if it’s a philosophy, an escape, a shield, an excuse, a crowd control tool, or simply a dream. Only God knows... right?

Mother nature and its animal kingdom is the source of my most enjoyable voyages and often, I deeply regret that we humans ever ventured into the exploitation and abuse of the majestic environment we live in. Which brings me to the endless discovery of the human mind and the people that cross my path. I like them in general, I admire some in particular, I resent others specifically but overall I don’t understand most of them, which in itself leaves an infinite distance ahead of me, should I want to travel there.

But I guess here, the journey starts with me.
