Dance in the Name of Life!

“Dance, when you're broken open. Dance, if you've torn the bandage off. Dance in the middle of the fighting. Dance in your blood. Dance when you're perfectly free.” - Rumi

About Me

My name is Omayhra and I started this blog to share my love for the beauty that's been destroyed but in many ways preserved in our country, Afghanistan.

Canada is my current home but I have lived on almost every continent of the world. I'm currently studying Biomedical Sciences but there's a lot more than having an office and seeing patients everday that I want to do.

I love travelling and learning about different cultures.Travelling is the best form of education there is and it is my dream to one day work and do research in many other countries across the globe including Afghanistan.

Visiting Afghanistan in 2011 really openend my eyes and my heart. All I can say is, always remember that real beauty lies beneath the surface. And I'd say the surface is everything the western media spews. It's time to take a second look!
