About Ayesha Saldanha
I am a translator and writer, so I live with words; nothing makes me happier than learning a new language! I was born in India, grew up in Britain, but feel most at home in the Arab world. I have spent time in various countries in the Middle East, including Egypt, Lebanon and Palestine. These days I live in Bahrain, which may be tiny but is an incredibly complex and interesting place. I blog at bint battuta in bahrain.
