The Ranting Blogger

I’m Ms. Hala, the ranting blogger.

I’m always hungry. I’m a road warrior. I’m a cultured aesthete. I have a lot to say about food, travel, and everything in between.

A native of the great city of San Francisco with roots from along the Nile River. I was raised in a multi-cultural family oriented home and surrounded by beautiful people.

After getting my MBA with a focus in International Business, I needed to go international! Thus in the summer of 2012, I moved to the Qatar and lived the confused expatriate life for five years.

During that time, I got to do a little bit of everything! I saw, I ate, I wowed the crowd. I made fun content on Snapchat, published a bunch of articles, and even did a stint on the radio.

I’ve since repatriated back home to San Francisco, falling head first into IT while trying to figure out my next dance moves. Then Covid happened. So I’ve pretty much been eating my sorrows and getting on my family’s last nerves. We even bought a house together, wild stuff!

All the while I’ve had to time to relax, refresh, and reboot. My creative juices are a flowing and my next adventures are a brewing. Of course, I shall rant all about it, right here.

Until then, stay well and in peace.
