Author: Dina Al-Mahdy

I am a freelance editor, translator and writer at: Bloomsbury Publishing House, Elephant Journal, Austin Macauley Publishers, Egypt's National Center for Translation, Women of Egypt Magazine, and Dar Dawen Publishers. Besides being a reading-promoter and a photo-blogger, I am also an associate at the International Positive Psychology Association (IPPA); and a member at the International Association for Professional Translators and Interpreters (IAPTI), the International Association for Translation and Intercultural Studies (IATIS); Translators Without Borders Organization (TWB); PEN America; and Society of Authors. I live for adventure and wake each morning with the excitement of a new day waiting to unfold at my feet. I share my thoughts on energy healing, meditation, mindfulness, relationships and the universe on my blog, Facebook page, and Instagram in the hopes of inspiring as many people as possible and changing their lives for the better.

A Journey into My World

Brimming with articles, photos, poems and soundtracks for meditation, mindfulness and peacefulness, this website was the beginning of my journey of self-discovery.  

One of my goals to build this website is to compile my works, and also to document the tangible and intangible heritage in Alexandria through photography and articles about old districts and buildings.
