Adventures of a Visual Storyteller
I visited Zanzibar back in 2013. In fact it was my first solo trip ever. Since then I’ve been wanting to go back and see more of Zanzibar. It really was one of the peaceful places I’ve been to. While this little island attracted a lot of tourism buzz from all over the world in […]
I’ve always been curious about Mauritania for the past couple of years. I really wanted to visit it but I wanted to go when the time was right. I decided to visit Mauritania on the first opportunity I got in 2018. It was a real dream that came true and it was sweeter than I […]
Sometime in October at the mid of a photography assignment I received a call from a friend asking me if I want to climb Mount Kilimanjaro over New Years. Without thinking I immediately said yes! I was in no physical shape fit to climb a mountain and I didn’t even know what sort of preparation […]
Lapland Finland wasn’t even on my radar and certainly Kakslauttanen Arctic Resort wasn’t on my wish list for the year. Lapland, Finland was the highlight of my Autumn Nordic Trip. You can read more about my trip here. To say it accurately the whole Nordic trip was organized and tailor-made after I was invited to […]
Nordic trip was arranged with a blink of an eye. It was strange this time that I was so undecided where to go for Eid holidays. I kept jumping from one plan to the other. Ironically Iceland was part of that initial plan but I wasn’t in the mood for a cold place so I […]
No doubt Cuba has been on my wish list for the longest time. My dream to visit Cuba started few years ago, ultimately I made it happen. In fact I wanted to see Cuba before it gets taken over by Starbucks, KFC and high-speed WiFi cafes. Of course Cuba have already changed but still the […]
For few days I escaped from my busy life in Bahrain and went to absolute tranquility paradise. I wanted to detox mentally and physically so I started searching for a quick escape destination and I decided to go to Kandy in Sri Lanka. The moment I found Santani Wellness Resort’s page online I knew this […]
I’m getting to love travelling with only an analog camera. There is always the pleasure of not having to return home carrying hundreds and maybe thousands of digital photos to go through. 35mm film camera and a number of rolls is all I had to worry about during my last trip to Singapore. I was […]
Japan had been on my mind for a long time. I always dreamed of travelling to Japan in Sakura “Cherry blossom” season. First and foremost without a doubt 2016 had been a remarkable travel year for me, the remarkable part definitely includes Japan. Within a month I decided to plan my Sakura trip and do it backpacking. I […]
2016 has been a marvelous year, a year I will always remember for its accomplishments and getting over many implanted fears and phobias. When I look back thinking what was the biggest achievement of the year and whether I reached my goals, I can’t think of a single event. I had my first solo […]
There are many great hotels around the world but let’s be real if this hotel was good enough for Sophia Loren to stay then ofcourse it should be very special! It doesn’t take much to fall in love with Rooms hotel Tbilisi. “Rooms” is part of the international group Design Hotels. I fell in love […]
As soon as I stepped foot in Tbilisi she (yes she’s a she) greeted me with her beautiful vibe and free WIFI public network “Tbilisi loves you”! I’ve heard many people rave about their love for Tbilisi. I tried hard to resist the love trap but I just couldn’t! I just fell for Tbilisi. What’s not to love I mean they […]
I just returned from an amazing backpacking trip to the Caucasus. In 10 days I visited Azerbaijan, Georgia and Armenia. Even though I travelled with a backpack (I love my Tortuga backpack) I’m still not sure if I can call myself a backpacker? I mean I do stay in nice hotels and use taxis if […]
With all the daily news of bloodshed spilt all over the world, one can only wish Peace for the world. Wishing peace and harmony and love to everyone. Have a blessed and happy Eid Mubarak. I took this photo last year during Eid Al Fitr in Bali. As usual I will be off for another […]
Like all Arabs I grew up hearing about the lost Islamic Kingdom of Al Andalus (Andalusia) we learned about those prosperous times and the events that followed. I always dreamed of visiting Andalusia I just wasn’t sure how, when or where to start. Beside what I learned in school curriculum, I wanted to know more of […]
