#Episode 2 - Rasha Ezzeddine (Kuwait)
The MIC travelled to Kuwait to talk with Rasha Ezzeddine, a Belgian with Lebanese roots who lives between Kuwait and Dubai.
Rasha is Marketing Director in the telecom industry and Chief Marketing Officer at GigCMO.
She has been staying all over the world and considers herself a global citizen who's obsessed with music, books, organizing and handbags.
"Honestly, what really touched me when I moved here is that family comes first. The family values are very strong here. There's more empathy for that compared to Europe."
Listen on
She moved to many countries but what shocked her in her first months living in Kuwait... that ordering food at the office is such a casualty. A habit that didn't take her long to implement herself.
"In Europe, I used to cook and store things in the freezer for the whole week. Here I rely more on ordering because there're a lot of healthy options and so many different varieties of cuisine."
Organizing in Kuwait is a whole different story...
"When I worked in Europe we were blocking time for meetings in our calendars... here I have to explain that concept to the people I work with. (laughs)"
Listen and discover the way to a healthy work-life balance in Kuwait. From external household help to the influence of families that support each other like a real community.
Listen on
PS: Rasha is currently taking a short sabbatical. After 23+ years she's on a self exploration journey.
Happy listening!

TALKING SIZES
Having difficulty choosing between the Pyramid and the slightly smaller-sized Midi Pyramid?
This blog page highlights all the differences.
Find the size that is right for you.
You are looking for a work bag? Good!
Both sizes are built for work life, with dedicated compartments for your laptop and all other office essentials so you will never forget your valuables again. Commute or travel in peace thanks to the zipper closure that keeps your belongings safe and secure.
The key question: how big is your laptop?
The Pyramid fits laptops up to 15.6 inches (diagonal screen size) with a maximum horizontal width of 14.1 inches, while the Midi Pyramid fits laptops up to 13.5 inches (diagonal screen size) with a maximum horizontal width of 12.8 inches.
Because screen borders vary by brand, we recommend measuring your laptop's physical width rather than going by screen size alone.
Compare
Pyramid vs Midi Pyramid
| Pyramid | Midi Pyramid | |

How to measure your laptop?

Choose the Midi Pyramid if you carry a laptop with a width up to 12.8 inch and the everyday essentials — phone, wallet, chargers, and the occasional A4 notepad or folder. Everything fits, without the extra weight.
Choose the Pyramid if you work on a wider laptop or regularly carry multiple files and folders.
One thing to keep in mind: a bigger bag tends to get heavier, because more space means more things. Women under 5'4" in the #KAAICOMMUNITY often prefer the Midi Pyramid for exactly that reason: a KAAI bag should make your day easier, not heavier.
