Ethical Profile
I’m an ethical service provider preferring to focus on promoting products, services and causes which have a positive impact on people and society.
I feel that no matter what our skills or abilities each one of us has a responsibility towards humanity to add value to others lives, to be beneficial to people and to help create a beautiful future we can all benefit from in some way.
Nomad-One
One of my alias’ online is nomad-one, which stems from my interest in travelling and exploring various parts of the world. I’ve traveled and worked in places like Botswana, London, Cairo & Riyadh, Makka & Medina and love to see new and interesting places and to meet people of other cultures.
A nomad is resourceful, adaptable, resilient, humble, contemplative by nature and above all restless. I’m also a Digital Nomad, preferring location independent work style which makes use of technology to connect and collaborate with my clients and partners.
Nur means light in Arabic, it’s a name I chose for myself when I converted to Islam back in 2003.
