From Lebanon’s Trails to Lonely Planet’s Pages
As an author and freelance travel writer for Lonely Planet, it has been my honor to serve as the Guide of Lebanon, authoring the Lebanon chapter and sharing my photographs in their forthcoming publications.
From Trails to Tales: Promoting Responsible Tourism
Recognizing my passion and expertise, the esteemed Annahar newspaper invited me in 2018 to share my travels and experiences as a freelance journalist. Since then, I have published over 60 tourism, photo-based articles, focusing on nature preservation, responsible tourism, anti-littering, reforestation, and heritage protection. I was also honored to receive an award for the first environmental article in the Arab world.
In 2019, I took the initiative to publish Lebanon’s first online photo-based tourism reference, both on my blog and through Annahar's website and newspaper, a project verified by the Ministry of Tourism and stamped by the Prime Minister.
From Numbers to Nature: A Journey Back to Life
I once navigated a world of numbers and deadlines as a finance analyst, but it was the call of the wild that truly captured my soul. Nature became my refuge, a place where I could shed the burdens of life and reconnect with something deeper.
Whispers of the Land: From Wandering to Safeguarding
As a self-funded traveler, I transformed every moment of my free time into a journey of exploration, breaking free from the confines of four walls. Over the past decade and a half, I’ve traversed Lebanon’s hidden paths, using my platforms and publications to showcase the beauty of its villages and landscapes.
Through this work, I’ve sought not only to capture Lebanon’s essence but to support rural communities by promoting tourism that honors both their traditions and the natural environment, helping them sustain their livelihoods and remain on their lands.
Capturing the country's essence one snapshot & one
itinerary at a time.
Being the only person in Lebanon so far to have
hiked countless trails from boarder to boarder, multiple times, photographed my homeland extensively, and published widely about its magnificent richness on prominent websites and magazines, I was and still am determined to use my platforms to continue promoting internal responsible tourism.
Dedicated to a Mission of Ecotourism, Nature Conservation, and Heritage Protection
After over two decades in management and finance, and armed with an MBA from AUB, I’ve redirected my expertise toward tourism-focused business and collaborative ventures. My mission is to foster ecotourism, reforestation, and heritage preservation. This work isn’t just about tourism—it’s about creating a lasting impact on our land and people, and creating a sense of belonging and limit immigration. My 2018 interview with Annahar Newspaper emphasized the importance of this mission, and it continues to be the driving force behind my efforts.
Alongside my passion for hiking and road trips,
I have profound expertise in crafting itineraries and travel plans tailored to diverse interests and fitness levels, encompassing everything from family getaways to religious & cultural hidden gems, adventures & hiking, and all aspects of Lebanon’s tourism, across all Lebanon.
I also had the honor of being a jury member at the Epica Awards for 2023, beside being featured in many local and regional platforms for my tourism experiences and photographs.
My numerous collaborations include esteemed entities as the Ministry of Tourism and the Ministry of Environment, as well as the Association of Travel and Tourist agents-ATTAL.
I served as ATTAL’s Website Consultant— I crafted its content and design from scratch. I remain the sponsor of its Lebanon’s Beauty & Tourism section, through my copyrighted images.
