I am an expatriate.

I am American, and I am now living in Saudi Arabia. I am currently in Jeddah.

About me

I was born in the USA, but when my father took work overseas, my family began a life a world-wide travel, with our homebase in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. This lifestyle brought me from the Vatican to Mecca, from the pyramids of Egypt to the streams of Venice, from the Taj Mahal to the plains of Kenya, from the beaches of Malaysia to the cafés of Paris. My father is a native-born Palestinian Muslim, while my mother is an American Lutheran. Yes, my life really has been as bizarre and contradictory as it sounds. Somehow, though, I’ve managed to reach age 18 without major psychological difficulties; actually, I’ve learned to celebrate the cultures that have shaped me over the years. I now reside in the US, but I still travel often. I'm majoring in Modern Middle Eastern Studies and International Relations, planning for a career in journalism.

My birthday is on 17 February, I was born in 1990

Reflections of a Cultural Mutt

I am an American young woman who moved to Jeddah, Saudi Arabia in 2000. My experiences in Saudi Arabia and my unique family background (Muslim-Palestinian father and Christian-American mother) has given me a passion for promoting cultural dialogue and understanding.
