Description
As of January 2025 I am currently into reading books about love, compassion, relationships and the mind. My latest reads are: Scattered minds by Gabor Mate, The Art of Loving by Eric Fromm, Lettera Sull' Amore by Vittorino Andreoli and The Book You Wish Your Parents Had Read by Philippa Perry.
A few memorable events in my life that happened in 2024 are: I attempted a to start a sweets business in March, In May I went to a meditation retreat in which I volunteered to translate from English to Arabic, In July I joined a Meisner acting workshop and In December I left my full-time job in the tech industry.
My goals for 2025 are to travel till 2026, learning about and respecting myself, to know people, to explore living on a farm and in community in hopes to find an alternative way of living that respects the individual as well as the collective that includes earth and the animals.

More details about your skills
I pride myself on my sweeping skills, you keep the broom going till momentum dissipates. The mid-sweep-and-stop school of thinking argues that this raises dust in the air, which is true. But to them I say “we live only once”. Always go full sweep. Let the dust go up, it will come down again.
I am a half-Italian half-Egyptian engineer that studied mechatronics in the UK. From here I derive decent pasta-cooking abilities, my trilingual tongue and coding skills. More precisely I can speak Italian and Arabic with native fluency and my English is as fluent as stream on a riverbed. And I could code applications in C and python scripts as well as some basic web development. I am also very used to automating your google workspace, like sending that annoying Friday evening’s 6pm email you always put off, without you breaking a sweat. I am also keen to learn anything that’s needed to get a job done.
I worked as a gardener (mostly weeding) for a few months and I care for a couple of plants at home.
I have also been volunteering at a hospice which made me more empathic and sensitive. I can effortlessly communicate with elders. I would like to think they usually really like me.
Finally, I have been meditating for the last two years in the Vipassana and zen schools and have attended 10-day retreats.
Go full sweep.
