My kind of night !
Open the museums at night and serve wine, play classical and jazz music and let the adults to have a night out that isn’t in a club.

Make sure your parents have their affairs sorted out… coz siblings stealing your inheritance is a reality in most cases.

I am heading back to work next week. Be prepared for corporate shit talking... On another note, I am longing for some moutabbal and hummus at 10:30am this morning. Happy Wednesday everyone #Lebanesefood

I travelled to Porto, Valencia and Athens. Ate my heart out and came back to Toronto, weighed myself and surprise surprise, I did not gain a gram! That shows you how clean the produce and ingredients are in Europe versus North America.

Jet lag is for real. In bed by 8pm (ideal) and waking around 4am (not ideal). How is everyone? I miss the European clock. and why am I seeing only live protests on my feed? Not that I have anything people asking for answers and their rights.

I paid, 14$ for a latte and espresso at Casper & Gambini and on another occasion, 38$ for two sandwiches from Bart Tartine. I was shook at these prices.
غلا المعيشة خاصة ببيروت كتير بيقهر وبعصّب لو قد ما كان معك مصاري...وفي إحساس بالغبن إنه ليش بدك تتعرض لكل هالنصب والغلا وبنفس الوقت تلوث وسرطان مولدات ونفايات، ليش عم نشتغل وعلى شو عم ندفع مصاري؟

There is something about grey skies and soft wind that makes me want to stay indoors and day dream. I am enjoying the Athenian weather while gazing at the skyline and counting the days to head back home. The photo was taken last week when it was sunny and warm - Ermou shopping.

Back in Athens. For the first time, I can't wait to be back to Toronto. 5 weeks living off suitcases is no fun! Porto, you were pleasant. Valencia, we fell in love. Athens, you are done. Now, time to grind in order to move to Valencia in some nearby future. Unless......

Beirut 🤍 Spent 2 days. Signed all necessary admin paperwork ✅ ate at Mayrig 👌🏻 and Chez Pepe 👌🏻 Cried my eyes out 😭 in the plane while take off. 8 years were too long of a wait. I’ll be visiting again VERY soon 🇱🇧

My hobbies as an introvert include: - Switching between the same three apps for hours - Not speaking to anyone for days - Listening to the same songs I’ve been listening to for 15 years - Imagining myself in situations that will literally never happen

Staying in Athens in the worst apartment booked through @theblueground Customer service do not pick up the phone nor answer emails. Smelly & leaking washroom, squeaky floors, cluttered closets. Never again. Do not recommend Blueground. #FeelAtHomeFreeToRoam
