Having spent nearly two decades in the corporate world before embarking on a journey of curiosity and discovery, I consider being a Street Blogger as the highlight of my professional career. This shift into street blogging has enabled me to present myself as a dynamic and conscientious content creator, committed to sharing my experiences with the world.

Streets have always fascinated me, in my youth, I was hooked on watching travel shows and journeys of people around the world exploring indigenous cultures. Consequently, I felt destined to take the road less traveled and publicly share my street experiences.

Street bloggers take pictures and videos, posting them on their blogs or social media platforms, along with commentary and stories about what they see.

Let me start by defining what street blogging is, for those of you who are not so familiar with the terminology in the digital world. Street Blogging was originally derived from photographing and capturing Street Style fashion that evolved from the street and not from runway shows or designers. Nowadays, it is a form of blogging that focuses on broader dimensions such as culture, lifestyle, and events in a particular city or street. Topics can include fashion, food, local businesses, art, music, and everyday life.

What makes this type of blogging so powerful is that it promotes and encourages new concepts such as cultural intelligence. It can be practiced in a local or global destination, and it is accessible to everyone. Meaning, yes, anyone can do it!

Yes, we live in an age of avatars and metaverse, where AI applications are taking control of our lives, yet the streets are returning back-to-basics and offer a reality check amid this high-tech race.

To humanize the experience, much of the content I create involves storytelling and people-to-people connections.



Recently, I had a revitalizing street encounter with a Swiss street photographer who also happens to be working and a resident in Jordan for the past two years. During our brief meeting, we discussed the perception of street culture in the Arab world, and he invited me to the opening of his photo exhibition, which includes some original works from his travels around the world. I am often asked about the added value of the work I do, and such street stories are the reason why I keep doing it.

The rewards of sharing untold stories and understanding the differences that unite us as human beings are the main factors that led me to become a street blogger.
