Description

Hello! We are Eliza and Essam, slow travelers who enjoy the simple life. We’ve been traveling for four months now with our backpacks, camping on beaches, meandering up mountains, and exploring cities and villages on our way.

Before starting our travel, we lived mostly in Amman for the past five years, where Essam worked as a video editor and videographer, and Eliza worked in various community empowerment programs as a social worker.

In our life, we have looked to embrace alternative ways of living, to move away from the routines of capitalism and seek a more fulfilling life through traveling, connecting with nature, and building community with like-minded people.

As travelers, we like to stay active and spend much of our time hiking, biking, camping, etc. We enjoy living simply, going with the flow, embracing unpredictability, and making connections along the way.

We are easy going, laidback people. We believe in the practice of mutually beneficial exchange, and look forward to sharing our skills to support the growth of inspirational, community-based projects.

Let's chat more, and build something together :)

Essam: I'm a videographer and photographer traveling with my gear, and am open to video or media collaborations. I'm also very handy, skilled with DIY and home maintenance and repair. I have good knowledge of computers and electronics, and can cook some delicious Palestinian cuisine.
