I'm Eli from Italy, I love telling stories and showing the life of real locals, away from the tourist spots.

In 1999 I volunteered in an orphanage in Kenya and it changed my life. I then worked in Albania with unprivileged girls and kids for 3 years. I went back to Italy and started teaching at primary school but I wasn't happy.
So in 2010 I took the decision to follow my passion, not my pension. I first volunteered in Cambodia for a year, then opened a blog and travelled around South East Asia, China, Iran and Oman.
My goal - my mission in life - has always been to inspire people to be brave, follow their passion, open their minds and discover the kindness of other people and cultures.

He was just explaining about the weather in Saudi Arabia, saying it hails sometimes. Then he said he’d been in KSA for 15 months and that he’s happy there. Afterwards he explained about the canyon. He did not mention Israel, I think the automatic translation make mistakes sometimes

Two (2) savings accounts ? We live in materialistic WORLD. Giving food and accommodation, to a stranger, for FREE, is NOT part of the materialistic world. This will change, if you believe in the afterlife world. Muslim people especially, as all other religions who believe in the afterlife, SHOULD, have TWO (2) savings accounts. 1- A Savings account for this world, to provide for themselves and their families. 2- A Savings account for the afterlife world, good deeds that will result in going to paradise. When you ask for help in the Middle East, wether it is a person, a shopkeeper a taxi driver or anyone else. They will weigh in/think, wether to fill in, their this world savings account or their afterlife world savings account. This is how people think in the Middle East and throughout the Muslim world. Keep in mind, that NOT all Muslims, are practicing Muslims, but in general, the majority, if not ALL, will follow/practice, the 2 savings accounts rule. Sarmad AlOakray; is a civil engineer and a freelance investigative journalist.🇺🇸🇮🇶 That is WHY ? I write comments For the afterlife savings account, and that is WHY ? Muslims are soooo helpful, as all religions who believe in the afterlife SHOULD. Salam 🤲🤲🤲🤲🤲
