The year is over, and so is my journey at Flat6Labs .

Wajdi is a very cool guy who can be too many people at the same time: a young psychologist, a talented actor, a food expert, a moviemaker, an active tourist guide, and a very famous star.  He is also a creative writer and can be inspired by many elements essen...
