Merhaba! I’m Angela!
Welcome to Yalla Habibti.
I’m a humanitarian aid worker that’s been living, working and travelling in the Middle East region for over 10 years now. Even before I first arrived here, this region caught my attention – maybe it was the history, maybe it was the food, maybe it was how its portrayed in the news.
But since I’ve gotten to know this region, it’s not only captivated me, but it’s also calling me to share it with others, particularly women who might be curious but nervous.
In Arabic, Yalla Habibti means “Let’s Go, My Dear”. But the female version. So, with this, Yalla Habibti! Come with me to experience the beauty, hospitality, history and culture of the Middle East!
