The picture above was taken in Hong Kong, across the main Island from Avenue of Stars (Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon). At the moment, Tsim Sha Tsui/ Hong Kong would be my new home, after living in London/UK for almost 16 years and over 8 years in Zurich/Switzerland. I have been very fortunate to call such eccentric and large cities my homes and have a culturally colourful upbringing.
Born in Mogadishu/Somalia (can't recall a single memory as we've left when I was 2 years old) and spending good 5 years in Al Hudaydah/Yemen, I have had a fusion of Arab & European upbringing. Now living in Hong Kong, I am excited to pick up the exciting things of the Asian culture.
Right now, however, I am in Istanbul/Turkey for an indefinite time and making the most at one of my favourite cities I have had the privilege to live/visit thus far.
Below are the cities and countries I have had the privilege to visit (and live). The list will be updated as I continue travelling. Please note that I have not posted about my travels on here since my visit to Paris in 2013...accumulated travel diary for 60 cities, so stay tuned!
