I grew up in Perth, Australia and spent the first 25 years of my life getting at least 90% of my calories from either meat, cheese, milk, or some heavily processed, highly sugary food-like product.

It was three years after I first watched Earthlings that I went vegan. I vividly remember sitting in the park one warm winter evening as I finished the last pages of The China Study and I knew that I would never eat animal products again. And I never have. Those three years that I spent living out of alignment with some of my strongest, newly realised core values were full of internal conflict. But as anyone who's shifted their behaviour to match their values will know, once going through the temporary discomfort that's necessary to achieve it, the feeling is priceless.

As much as I value peace, compassion and understanding - without species discrimination - I also value my personal freedom, and I've never felt more free than while travelling. To me the worst part of going travelling is the week or so before you return, when you can see your money is running out and you get that sinking feeling in your stomach because you know you'll have to return home and submit once again to the monotonous routine of the 9 to 5 working week.

After hanging out more and more with Hish and figuring out our values were so aligned, we decided to create Vomad and do our part to make the world a better place. Or at least try. And thankfully, as my work now requires only a laptop and an internet connection, I am fortunate enough to be in a position to also travel indefinitely. So now the journey does not need to end. Ever.

I was born and raised in the small island of Bahrain, but have lived in Perth, Australia since 2004, which I have called home since I came here.

Before going vegan, I’ve always been passionate and interested in human rights and equality. When I was introduced to veganism, my views of myself as a person who is opposed to any from of injustice and inequality were challenged. But after doing relentless open-minded research into it, analyzing every argument for and against it, and using my common sense and logic, I went vegan to do my part for the planet, it’s earthlings and my own health. And to my surprise that was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I am healthier than ever, more content with myself and enjoy food more than ever.

To live the Vomad life, I have decided to pause my law career so I can build something that will allow me to have more time and freedom to create the things that I am passionate about. Something that will allow me to do what I love the most which includes creating awesome products, helping others, constantly traveling around the world and becoming an independent human rights law researcher/writer in my own time.

To make this happen, Ben and I came together and combined our skills and the things that we are both passionate about: veganism, complete freedom and travelling into making Vomad: a website dedicated to sharing our journey and educating others about veganism through our blog as well as creating cool simple quality products to help spread veganism and help others easily transition into this awesome vegan lifestyle.

My strong belief that we should always use our own judgments and thoughts instead of being influenced by and or conforming to society’s standards and conditioning has led me to become a vegan nomad.
