Here’s Why This Creator Moved Back To Lebanon!

Ever wondered what makes someone pack up their life and move to Lebanon? One Lebanese creator, Lama Zakhour, did just that—and her reasons are as colorful as her journey. She was only supposed to stay for two weeks, but five months later, she’s still soaking up the Mediterranean vibes and loving every minute.

She ditched the rulebook

First up, she couldn’t resist the freedom. In the UK, it’s all about rules, rules, and more rules—think “computer says no” vibes. But in Lebanon, she found a refreshing lack of strict policies. No one’s stopping her with a “sorry, that’s not possible,” and honestly, she’s here for the chaos and spontaneity. Sometimes, breaking free from the rulebook is just what you need!

She chose adventure over comfort

Moving back in with her parents in London? Boring! Instead, she picked the wild ride of starting fresh in a new country. Every day in Beirut brings a new story, a little bit of chaos, and a lot of laughs. She’s loving the daily surprises and the chance to live life on her own terms.

She wanted to level up her Arabic

Her Arabic skills? Let’s just say they needed some work. Living in Lebanon is the perfect crash course—no more sounding like a five-year-old! She’s determined to master the language, one conversation at a time, and finally string together sentences without the awkward pauses.

She fell for Lebanon’s charm

When people ask, “Why Lebanon?” she just laughs and says, “Why not?” From the stunning landscapes to the lively language—she loves hearing Lebanese words—there’s always something to smile about. For her, that’s reason enough to stay and enjoy every moment in her new home.
