At the age of 17 I had the first beer
of my life in the USA.
2.
Beirut is a wild city, a sensational
mix of religions and traditions, but I
never thought I would live a double life
here. When travelling I have the freedom to do what I want, but when I return to Lebanon I can’t. For example, I
can only enjoy happy hour at the pubs
in Beirut because the local curfew is
8pm!

3. I brought the book Night by Elie
Wiesel back from the States to learn
about the cruelty of the Holocaust and
to show others in Lebanon the other
side of the story as Holocaust literature
is banned in my home country.
4. I am secular. I am a woman ob-
sessed with science, evolution, philosophy and psychology – but I will never
forget the feeling I had when I entered
Sagrada Familia church in Barcelona.

Being a huge fan of the footballer
Messi, made entering Camp Nou
football stadium in Barcelona a very
emotional moment for me! I cried.
6.
Arriving in Washington, D.C. was a
dream come true for me, but the White
House was a disappointment. It appears
much larger in Hollywood movies.
