I turn 27 today. 🎈 And we spent the morning by the beach.
Amidst everything that has happened (still is happening) these past months, you learn it’s the little things in life that matter. Like the morning sun on your skin or just spending time with the people that matter. It’s been a tough year, but I’m still grateful I get to celebrate my day with my favorite humans ps. It’s been a while IG fam! I hope you are all okay and safe ❤️

“Don't stop talking about Lebanon.
Don't stop talk about the 220 victims;
Don't stop talk about the 7,000 wounded;
Don't stop talking about the 300,000 unsheltered;
Don't stop talking about our destructed neighbourhoods;
Don't stop talking about what happened on the 4th of August.”

For the past 10 days, I find myself unable to concentrate. I think back to August 4. While I was nowhere near the blast site at 18:07, I work at the port. That day, I was there. My project site is 350 meters away from Warehouse 12 (see the building to the left of the Silo). I’m there almost everyday. If I’m not, I’m in my office, just behind the cranes at the Port.
For 2 years, I’ve been working close to a ticking time bomb. We all have. I can’t begin to imagine what the people in Beirut went through. I live kilometers away and haven’t wrapped my mind around it yet. I’m not sure if we ever will. #beirut #lebanon #beirutexplosion #prayforlebanon #prayforbeirut #lebanon🇱🇧 #beirutlebanon #beirutcity #لبنان #بيروت

For a little while, when we’re out in the outdoo

For a little while, when we’re out in the outdoors, we forget about the chaos happening around us. & that’s alright.
We take a break, and all we worry about is how muddy our feet are or how cold the water we’re going in is. And we think how carefree we are here, how happy we become, and how (still) fortunate we must be. 🏞🌿💚

While Lebanon fights off a global pandemic, never-

While Lebanon fights off a global pandemic, never-seen-before economic crisis, & political unrest, we find refuge in the outdoors.
It seems like it's all we (hopefully) have left. They say nature is the best therapy 🍃⛰; it takes hitting rock bottom to figuring out that’s the truth.
So get out often, worry less, and wander more 💚

Nothing like escaping it all and going to nature 🌿🍃; that’s what I needed a couple of days ago. So I had just finished work, and we made it here for a sunset hike
Looks like our own Lebanese amazon forest 🌱⛰, wouldn’t you agree?

We are back to one of our favorite places in Leban

We are back to one of our favorite places in Lebanon; the last time I was here was last summer and it felt great to be back in the outdoors, especially when it’s with him ❤️

Also! still the same old me 😁 but it just was the time to change my name to @melwanders . For those of you who don’t know, I write about my adventures on www.melwanders.com and I have started sharing some articles on Sustainable Travel.
Over the few coming weeks, I’ll be writing more about sustainable inspos and destinations from around the world 🌍, so go subscribe to be the first to know! Because now, more than ever, is the time to reconsider and recalculate the way we travel – let alone the way we live. ✈️

Believe it or not - this is the first time in months we’ve been out in the wild. 😨 And it felt great. It was such a needed break from everything going on around us. We hiked through lush greeneries 🍃 and amazing rock formations to get to this waterfall and spent over hours here, enjoying the refreshing water and taking in the beautiful sceneries all around. ☀️⛰💧
