About

Born in Lebanon, lived there for a few years until the war got the best of my parents. We all moved to Canada at that time and tried to make it work in Canada. We later returned to Lebanon but my parents did not like what was happening there. All the corruption led them to return and live in Canada permanently. I met my wife online through a friend and eventually moved to her country (lived separately), Guatemala, to meet her. Got married there and lived there for 4 years. We now have 2 children. We lived in Canada together for 4 years (over 25 on my own) until she received her citizenship. We're now considering moving to Panama, Guatemala, or somewhere in Europe. We're moving soon, but not sure where. It has to be in the next weeks/months as we're ready! Exciting times.
Interests: biblical studies, real history., animals, traveling, outdoors, Photography

I was hoping for a short list of developed towns, not just mountain towns where only small families live. Either way, thanks. Read More

That is indeed a totally different experience.. In our 2 weeks there, we only received one bad look from a convenience store African descendant shopkeeper who sells bread en la ciudad. We tried to buy from her but she ignored us, multiple times, and ... Read More

Yikes, Panama is expensive. Some people answer they spend x amount per month on food, but everybody has different diets/wants for food. The girl who gets the $1 coffees was realistic. Small coffee is $0.50, large $1, starbucks is gonna be US price, ... Read More

Latin America - colonias are a much safer bet. I wouldn't trust living outside a colonia. Colombia - you must have found a safer than usual place. Lots of Colombians here in Canada that fled from the lack of safety in Colombia. Anyways, based ... Read More

This thing is, this shouldn't be happening. We shouldn't have to be building fences, metal bars on windows, metal door to protect the door, barb wires, and so on. An alarm at home I understand but the rest shouldn't be required. Yet, it ... Read More
