الهوايات

  • Design, Travel & Cooking
    The love of the above three interests has always been a passion which collaborates with each other. There is no limit or end to design and whilst one travels, the adoption of new inspiration of cultures and food resonates new aspects. I have been blessed to visit many countries and the UAE and has been the choice of relocation with it's electism and cosmopolitan flair.
