What you're reading

I’m always on the run so I prefer "reading" through Audible. Currently, listening to Attached: The New Science of Adult Attachment and How It Can Help You Find—and Keep—Love.

Podcasts by Shaman Durek.

A private office space in Washington D.C., a pied-à-terre in New York City, and a commercial space in San Francisco.

Where you're headed next

My other home: Cairo, Egypt. Can't wait to see family and pay a visit to "El-Gamaleya" — a historical district where my grandparents grew up. Its filled with metalsmith workshops, spice markets and open air bazaars.

Advice when flying

Always pack your favorite items. It makes the ride more enjoyable when you have small reminders of your essential things to-go and little pieces of home.
