Mariam Elmiesiry

Mariam is a solo-traveling medicine grad with a pasta-fueled philosophy and a mindset as firm as al dente spaghetti, because she’s always right. When she’s not buried in a book or planning her next adventure, she’s writing about the movements that shaped Egypt—and how they’ve reshaped her in return. Occasionally, she’ll lift a barbell, but only to balance out her love for linguini.
