I am a travel journalist and writer who grew up in Saudi Arabia, with work spanning the wider Gulf region, South Asia, and North America. I bring deep cultural insight and nuance to my reporting, shaped by my own identity and lived experience. I'm currently based in Toronto, and exploring Canada through its diverse regions and communities.
My travel writing has been published in BBC Travel, USA Today, Business Traveller, Travel + Leisure, Lonely Planet, in-flight magazines, and more. Here's some links to my work:
