I started Feed The Malik while living in Amman, Jordan. I started pushing myself to get out of the expatriate bubble, phone in hand. To my surprise, my passion project prompted friends who had never considered traveling to the Middle East to visit and explore alongside me.

 

I learned a valuable lesson –  complex, deeply human stories can challenge and truly move people. I have since left Jordan, but that lesson guides Feed The Malik to this day.

 

I now create full-time and focus on storytelling through food, travel, lifestyle content, and beyond. Through Feed The Malik, I continue to share my own work, as well as work from incredible guest contributors.
