Introduction

I am originally a Lebanese behavioral neuro., med student recently graduated from St. Ambrose University, Iowa (USA). I am the proud author and head researcher in a behavioral neurology study; "Virtual Reality as an Analgesic: A Study on Distraction and Pain Threshold" I moved to Oman in search of diverse job opportunities. I interned in pediatric hematology-oncology for a total 2 years at the Royal Hospital of Oman through the duration of my studies, subsequently, I fell in love with the country and the wild adventures one can take on a weekly basis to the interior! That said, I think that the country lacks a social sporting community in which expats, such as myself, can meet up for pick up games of basketball or maybe even volleyball (the main idea being, it is hard to make social connections when you're just another expat living in a county where social integration is limited to school and work! ) Now I live in Nicosia, Cyprus, where I study medicine.

I joined expat.com on 06 July 2019.

  • I can speak I speak English, as well as Arabic fluently.
  • Interests video games, basketball, rock climbing, building PC's, just your average nerd from medical school!

The frequent road closures due to snow, the sub zero temperatures of -35 C in the winters, the frequent storms and tornado warnings, and the sheer abundance of shady neighborhoods (just an unlucky circumstance of life, I'd assume)
