My expat journey



Chiang Mai, Thailand
After living and working for 30 years in the Middle east & Arabian Gulf region in the tourism & hospitality industry, reaching to own my own brand in Dubai Utravel (www.utravel.ae
after accomplishing this project, I wanted to get away from the corporate world, and find my self in an environment where I can be in peace with my self, as I have felt that during my life in the Arab world my life was limited to social and cultural boundaries, so I rook it upon my self to break those cultural and social boundaries in order to create better "self fulfilling" opportunities, which I found here in Chiang Mai, where I have found a new passion in Writing, and relating my experience to the cultural and social struggles people face in their daily life, and approaching the readers with valuable information and hopefully inspire "the willing few" to break their cultural boundaries, and reach a better "self actualization" levels.
