Throughout my life journey, I've navigated through the diverse sectors that Lebanon has to offer.

However, it's the natural world that has captured my heart the most. I dedicated five years of my life to the study of Lebanon's rich and varied environment, culminating in a Master's degree in Management and Conservation of Natural Resources from the Lebanese University. My specialization allowed me to introduce mycology to Akkar for the first time, delving into its unique diversity.

My connection with nature, especially in Akkar's environment, has provided me with countless opportunities for growth and excellence. Akkar is a region brimming with breathtaking landscapes, a wide array of flora and fauna, and a rich human history, underscored by its wealth of archaeological sites.

As a certified mountain guide, I take immense pride and excitement in sharing my knowledge and on-field experiences with all the hiking enthusiasts who come to explore Akkar. Linking my academic background with mountain guiding has strengthened my commitment to raising awareness about the need to conserve and protect our forests and their precious resources, which are increasingly at risk. I am wholeheartedly dedicated to sharing my passion for nature, ensuring that every hiking adventure I lead leaves you with an unforgettable and enriching experience.
