This story is about hope and conviction. It is a call for everyone out there to believe that miracles do happen, even when we are least expecting them.

Magazine Writing Sample

Hala is a short story about life and hope written for I Magazine Jordan.

The story was conceived after a painful yet touching interview with the three year old cancer survival, Hala, and her mother.

Website Content Samplehttp://www.supercoucou.com

Super Coucou is a revolutionary travel website to be launched soon. They contacted me to write the intros for their list of 100 countries as well as gather and arrange all necessary information about each. Here are a couple of samples.

52. Namibia Namibia is an exceptional destination combining 4 countries in 1 place thus bringing about different landscapes, each with its own characteristics and attractions such as migrating dune belts, dry riverbeds and canyons, towns and villages, shores and beaches, in addition to rugged mountain ranges and sand-filled valleys. Land, sky, sand and water, Namibia’s adventures and activities have you covered whichever way you turn! Quad biking, flying, gliding, hunting, safaris, angling, windsurfing, kite surfing, camping and more thrills and fun await you as soon as you land in beautiful Namibia. Accommodations vary too; from guest farms to hotels, campsites to lodges, you are welcome to take your pick and tailor your stay to meet your budget and vacation preferences. 53. Uganda Does size really matter? Not at all, and Uganda is the living proof of that! Though it may be a small country in size, Uganda sure has a great deal to offer you on your next visit as it is home to the tallest mountain range in Africa, the world’s longest river and the continent’s largest lake. Uganda’s basket of activities is big as well! From canoeing, rafting and boat riding, to thrilling bungee jumping, horse riding and an array of ecotourism activities, not to mention exploring Uganda’s culture
