  Description

  Hello, I'm a Raphael, living actually in Lebanon and working on a ecosystem project with my family. Our goal is to establish a self sufficient place in a small town, Fghal, next to Byblos.
  The place is very quiet, surrounded by nature. It's a beautiful place where you can connect with nature. We live 5 min from beach and there is a lot of hiking trails around the place.
  I am an electric and automation engineer. I used to work in the railway environment before I leave my job and I started to travel. Traveling had changed me and made me richer.
