I’m Georgia – and my journey to the Middle East became a journey home. When I first arrived in the region – alone, without knowing a single soul – I had no idea how profoundly it would shape me. Since my early twenties, I’ve dreamed of coming to the Middle East which was like a personal calling for me. Over time, I’ve had the privilege to immerse myself in the richness of this region: from the deep-rooted heritage of Saudi Arabia to the modern elegance of the UAE and Qatar, from the untouched nature of Oman and Yemen to the soulful traditions of Egypt, Jordan and the heart of Palestine. I don’t just travel – I connect. I study Arabic, dance traditional Shaabi and Khaleeji with joy and respect, and continue to learn about Islam with an open heart. Through my writing and storytelling, I bring to life the beauty, spirit, and humanity of the Middle East – helping others see it not through assumptions, but through truth and love. For me, wearing the crown is not about recognition. It’s about responsibility – to honour, represent, and give back to a region that has given me so much. My purpose is to build bridges, celebrate culture, and embody the spirit of unity. Because I’m not just living in the Middle East – I’m living for it.
