Expat

It’s only fair – If I tell you what I LOVED doing in Dubai for the year and a half I lived here, I also tell you what I should have AVOIDED.

I tried to keep this list to activities rather than accomplishments

This is a QUICK tour of The Dubai Mall. I wanted this video because I think it’s important to show how “regular” Dubai and this part of the Middle East is.

I HATE roller coasters, water slides, and anything with heights. For many reasons -> the long lines, the risk of death, I don’t understand why people voluntarily enjoy fear

For some reason, I assumed there would be American’s all over Dubai. Everyone speaks English, there’s a bustling economy – I thought American’s like to get out & explore the world!

I need to take all my “tourist” photos and videos of Dubai before I leave!

Awwwwwww, the time has finally come for my big announcement!

I posted this on my Instagram but let’s be honest, no one reads anything on Instagram. And this was a long one – I was asking a lot. But I liked it SO much I had to put it here, on my blog.

I’m not really sure where the idea that Dubai is not safe comes from. Probably the generalization of the entire Middle East

Then reality hits. Usually in the process of trying to find a home. The “hefty” work package isn’t very accommodating to their full sea view, 2 bedrooms, fully furnished, the apartment they imagined having.

One year later, am I still have I decided to move to Dubai?

Last year was time to step up to the plate and be brave, this year is the year for some positive change with a clear and grateful mind! WOOHOO!
