I'm headed on an amazing journey to connect with talented artisans and inspiring women-led businesses across the UAE and Oman. This isn’t just a trip; it’s about building real connections and sharing the stories of these incredible craftspeople with the world.

Why does this mean so much to me? Because I believe tourism should be meaningful. It's about more than just seeing a place—it's about meeting the people who make it unique. These artisans have dedicated their lives to preserving cultural traditions, and the women entrepreneurs I’ll be connecting with, are breaking new ground in their communities. They deserve recognition, and that’s where this project comes in.

By donating, you’re not just helping fund my trip; you’re helping us all preserve and celebrate these beautiful traditions. And by meeting these artisans and women entrepreneurs, I hope to create future opportunities for travelers. My goal is to organize authentic workshops for those who book tours through the online travel agency I’m building. Imagine experiencing these crafts firsthand, guided by the very people who carry these traditions forward. Thank you for being part of this journey with me!
