3) Amal Alamuddin is a well traveled woman with roots all over the world

One look at Alamuddin will tell you that she is “not from around here” with the “here” being any one place in particular. Amal was born in Beirut, Lebanon, in 1978. In 1987, when war started to ravage the country, the Alamuddin family fled to London. There they found themselves living a comfortable life in Gerrards Cross. From her new vantage point Amal began to study the world by being a part of it. Alamuddin studied law at Oxford University before heading to New York University’s School of Law.

Her well rounded education has made her a juggernaut in the court room, a well spoken lady at the dinner table, and a capable sparring partner with any who would debate her. The beautiful Amal Alamuddin is also fluent in several different languages which include French, English, and Arabic. Amal’s parents are also equally diverse. Her father, Ramzi, taught at the American University of Beirut while her mother, Baria, is an editor for the “Al-Hayat”, which is an Arab newspaper. It seems that Amal had highly educated people around her throughout her life and it’s helped make her the woman that she is today.
