Tales of a Solitary Soul

Secluded stone villas on Mediterranean beaches surrounded by crystal blue water, barren deserts of the Arabia, thick rainforests of the Amazon basin, magnificent mosques of Andulasia, picturesque coral reefs off the Australian coast......


Insha Allah, I'll travel the world someday........one day.

Will you join me?

I travelled as a kid. Stopped at age 6. What little I do remember of it makes me want to explore every part of the world.

I'm aiming at a career that will let me travel alot.

The things we do in hope that our dreams may come true=)
Insha Allah, I hope you achieve your dreamz :-)

Travelling and exploring is a passion of mine that is very low on the priority list right now but rears its ugly head from time to time.

Only Allah (swt) knows if i'll have the time or resources or the will to do it in this life but I can alwayz dream, can't I? :-)
Coool... mediterranean villas and Arabian deserts are really, really, special to me, too. It's weird, but maybe it's got something to do with the fact that my hometown of Tabuk, S Arabia not only lies in a desert, but is close to the Mediterranean too... in a way.


I really hope you'll be able to travel and see these places, inshAllah.

Of the desert, I cannot stop speaking... even today, as my family takes long drives on the highways around Tabuk, the beauty of the desert captivates me. I really just wish that Abba would stop the car by the road and let me walk around on that pure sand for a while.

I remember, around two years back, when we were driving from Madinah to Makkah, we stopped at a petrol station so that Abba could offer Maghrib namaz. Oh, it was wonderful! The sun had set and the mountains were vanishing into the darkness. I rolled down my car window and cool desert breeze greeted me. It was great... amazing... ethereal...

*sigh*

You've got to experience it, really!
It's ironic because I never cared much for the beauty during my five years of stay in the middle east.

But back then, I was too young to appreciate such things.
