About me

I swapped an office job in Muscat for a backpack and a camera eight years ago. Since then I have hiked the Hajar Mountains, crossed the Wahiba Sands and paddled the fjords of Musandam, sharing every step with a community that loves the outdoors as much as I do. Follow the journey on YouTube, Instagram and TikTok.
