What is the most interesting JCI event you've been to and why?
Oh difficult to tell, there is a lot! OK, I will say 2010 JCI Africa and the Middle East Conference in Nigeria. It was my first time in Africa and I wasn't expecting that I will visit Nigeria in my life but this is an example to where JCI could take you. I had amazing 12 days there and I made loads of friends from around Africa.
Had JCI presented any unusual/interesting opportunities?
JCI is meeting my International passion. I have friend from all around the world now. Whenever I visit any country I have friends to meet and show me around.

I work as an Education Consultant for the Royal Embassy of Saudi Arabia in London. I am also starting my own Training Company now.

You will see quite variety of International food and especially Middle Eastern food. You are always invited for a dinner though ;)
What is a good weekend to you?
