    I'm so happy to have been part of the Lebanese series!! I am indeed cycling across Africa, and met Sonny by coincidence in Ethiopia 3 hours before his flight to Lebanon. Somehow I ended up there co-hosting two episodes and sharing my passion for Lebanese food and stories from my country that I believe matter! I flew back to Ethiopia when the shoot finished, to keep cycling :)

      Watched a couple of journey but the way you handle the Sudanese episode where you looked for Arque was terrible at some point you said I don’t mind jeopardising the ppls identity and you respond “ they are in war” content hunger scavengers. You have no respect for local ppl. Don’t feel entitled just because you are tourist may be you can learn to be or two things from Sonny how he approach people.

      @RobertoHelou That is what I call being at the right place at the right time. When energy is in motion. The universe will guide us exactly where we need to be. And you were in the perfect spot. Isn't that amazing.
      I find it really funny, so many of us. Never planning something. Never having that on our thought. Yet there it is at our fingertips. And then under our feet. Such a beautiful thing..
      What a blessing. What a treasure.. and something to share, food. It's what binds us together.. ❤

    Just want to say thank you for shedding light on the crisis in Lebanon as well as the Syrian refugees, and even providing some assistance to those you spoke with. I’m first gen Lebanese in the americas and I still have majority of my family back home in Lebanon, where they’re now facing a new crisis on top of the dismantled government. I always want to tell people how beautiful Lebanon and our people are, and breaking the stigma as Muslims in Lebanon and how free you are regardless of belief. And also, how amazing the food is!
