Hello all,

Here’s a short video to bring you a little into my life. Hope you enjoy!…


This short animation looks at Bahrain’s current reliance on food imports to sustain its growing population. A food empire archipelago is formed through the acquisition of foreign arable lands.

My home is on a plane. An adrenaline junkie. Kuwaiti by blood but I think the world is my playground. I have a mission to see the entire continent of Africa before I hit 30. I studied architecture and am currently doing my Masters in landscape architecture. I dedicate my life to three things:- architecture, travel and the gym. Why? because once I become a certified trainer I want to design and launch my very own boutique gym that will hopefully succeed as a concept and become an international chain so that I can keep paying for those plane tickets that will constantly take me to discoverable territories...Oh and while maintaining my biceps!
