I am a reader, a photographer, an explorer, and an idiot. Because of these qualities, I like to think I’m silly enough to write a book. I’ve worked in Baghdad while a war was waging, in Bahrain while riots were ensuing, and in Saudi Arabia where women don’t exist. I lived in Italy where a simple task takes five days, and in Australia, where men wearing pink shirts is the new norm. While exploring twenty-five countries on five continents, and speaking bad Italian, horrible Spanish and passable Arabic, I’ve befriended Americans, Italians, Brazilians, Australians, Arabs, Chileans and New Zealanders all while faithfully and stupidly remaining the odd one out. Through four years of craziness, staring death in the face on four occasions, meeting hundreds of beautiful people, and exploring new cultures, I now feel arrogant and important enough to commit my overvalued thoughts to fake paper and tell people what to think. The culmination of this randomness, is ‘Random Rationality: A Rational Guide to an Irrational World‘. The first, and hopefully not last, book, of aspiring idiot, Fourat Janabi.
