My expat journey
Beirut, Lebanon
I am trying to catch up on personal and financial development I missed out on while travelling from one place to another throughout the past 8 years. I am taking a learning curve and I want to do what it takes to make this mission of 5-6 years I intend to spend in Beirut successful.
Operational Account Manager looking after supporting development of relationships with airlines mainly in Levant, North Africa and Turkey region
Jordan and Lebanon are very close in many aspects nature culture environment climate peoples behavior values and overall life style. Though Lebanon adds better food prettier women and feels just as home!
The sense of instability and insecurity caused by political unrest. Bombs blasting here and there every now and then!
Riyadh, Saudi Arabia
I started off a long journey in a reputable multi-international company. This time its into airlines solutions industry! I got good advancements on a professional level!
Going on happily and excitedly in my life baring in mind what, J.T. Watson, IBM founder once said, success is at the other end of failure!
Area Manager
Easy access to holy land in Makka.
Easy access to rest of GCC countries, although I reside here I spend my weekends in Dubai and Bahrain to have fun. A lot of travelling.
Dealing with governmental systems, it is just inconvenient. Dealing with some Saudi nationals can sometimes be like watching those who recently got a ferrari but had always riden a camel!
Feeling disconnected and away from family and friends. this is tough I have to make changes.
Amman, Jordan
I started my career in telecommunications and sales and marketing there! and got my driving license at 22 age! (i used to drive on left without driving license while in Cyprus! had to take the tests 3 times to pass in Jordan)
Corporate Sales Engineer
What i like is getting to meet business mates and professionals. I shaped up my skills working for a regional leading telecom services providing company. I tried to make a few friends in the new city of Amman. I was counting days to flee! It was challenging! :)
What I didnt like is I didnt feel people are authentic in their life styles! They used to stare if they see me going home after work jogging! :) I didnt really fit in their life style and measures!
KKTC, T眉rkiye
Northern Cyprus was like living responsibility! and achieving the mission of getting graduated from University with good grades. I learned a lot about turkish culture and enjoyed making friends for life!
A Computer Engineering student
Peacful, charming, rich of charming places to see. Diversity of nationalities, meeting russians, people of south asia, turkish, and arabs is something good about Northern Cyprus. Business opportunities are quite interesting as well
Small island, limited resources, dispute between turkish and greeks about under whose authority the island lies!
Amman, Jordan
Was a bit tough to cope up with new environments with lower living standards. I went to high school there and gained got experience in how to deal with tough life and people.
Just a Teenager!
I liked weather. I liked the social life I had where everybody is close to you. I liked taking pretty good walks and seeing how people survive
I didnt like insecurity and low education level.
Ahmadi, Jordan
I spent my childhood, went to primary school, had good times making my best friends fell in love with the first girl in my life :)
a behaving kid!
Security, good living standards, and meeting people from different nationalities
Almost nothing
