Age: 30
Profession: Senior Graphic Designer
Nationality: Jordanian
Motto: Go out there and do it. You’ve got nothing to lose.
Your most valued possession
Family is most important possession of all and you can’t put a value on that.
Where you hang out most…
On the road (on my bike) or at my friend’s place
One thing you cannot live without
I simply can not live without my bike. The feeling you get while riding it is indescribable.
The person who inspires you the most
Definitely my father.
Five things you need for survival in the wild
Something to hunt with, some rope, a tent, something warm for cold nights and a book on the kind of plants you can eat in the wild.
The car you would most like to own
1965 Mustang fastback
Where do you see yourself in 10 years?
As a family man and a successful, a loving husband with two girls and two boys (and I hope they’re twins).
Your idea of peace…
I think peace is a state of mind. If you worry about everything big or small you can never have a peaceful moment.
Your goal in life…
To have my own successful business
Three things today taught you?
Watch out for cars passing me by from the right lane, save a document I’m working on every minutes (as computers crash periodically) and to not park my bike under a building while it’s being cleaned.
The person who most deserves a big thank you in your life?
My beautiful, lovely sister.
Your earliest memory?
I think its weird that I still remember a lot from my childhood. I remember dropping an egg on my foot when I was three and then cutting my finger with a shaving razor and waking up to find my hands being cleaned by my mom (which freaked me out).
What would you wear to feel good?
I’d simply put a suit on.
The songs that you would want people to play on your funeral
Always With Me, Always With You and Starry Night by Joe Satriani
Little Wing by Jimi Hendrix
Black by Pearl Jam
Skinny Love by Bon Iver
The Space Between by Dave Mathews Band
Your current Last SONG syndrome (LSS)?
There’s a British comedy show called ‘The Mighty Boosh’ and there’s a song in it called ‘I Love The Chosen One.’ It just cracks me up every time I hear it.
If you were in a TV show you’d most like to be in…
The Mighty Boosh
A place or hangout spot where you feel at home…
The one place I wouldn’t think twice to go back to is the terrace of the beach restaurant ‘Curlies’ at Anjuna Beach in Goa.
If today is your last day…
I’d spend it with my family and friends.
If you could be anywhere in the world right now, it would be…
Australia because it’s the perfect place for rides along the seashore and the climate is perfect.
If you could ask one person from history a question, what would it be?
Vincent Van Gogh: ‘Why the ear?’
The season you most anticipate?
As much as I hate being cold while riding, I love winter and the rain. There’s nothing more soul purifying than rain and the smell of fresh wet soil!
If you were on death row, what would your last meal be?
My own butter chicken
Your favourite dessert?
Cream caramel
If you could associate yourself with a food what would it be?
It’s something my mother keeps making: dates with marshmallows and coconuts. The taste is just insane.
