My name is Sami Haven and I am almost 23 years old. My mother is from Jordan and my father is English. I come from an upper class family of architects both on my fathers and mothers side, which worked for the Jordanian royal family as well. My grandfather Sami Ne’meh built some of Jordan’s most beautiful buildings including the Abu Darwish mosque in Amman. I have an aunt who has just transferred to Dubai from Italy as she works with Orbit (TV company) that was based in Rome until not to long ago.

I have been living in Rome over the past 5 years where I did my masters in photography and now studying the history of its art as a personal interest as well as working part time as assistant to Michele De Andreis (known fashion photographer) until I have the funds and experience to open a firm of my own.

My mother tongues are both Arabic and English, and I have learned Italian fluently and almost without any foreign accent at all.

I know Rome very well for it has become another home to me, and the history of its important monuments (and some of the less known ones, which I personally like).

I have received a completely British education, but in my heart I am Arabic and respect my culture and its traditions.

In Rome I am perfectly inserted in the fashion, music, artistic, and recreational worlds due to my studies, work, friendships and interests. I am well informed on daytime and night-time activities, exhibitions, galleries and know most of the people who organise all the important events and parties.

I enjoy meeting now people and cultures, learning new things and lending a helping hand when ever possible.

Now that the summer season is starting I would like to work as a guide and/or translator for people who plan their vacation in Rome, help the shopping and sightseeing, to make some extra money of my own and show the beautiful city, which I have come to love

I hope to receive a positive reply and I am sure well have a wonderful time around Rome together.

Sincerely yours,
Sami Haven.
