Best Thing About the Country?
The Weather, The Shopping, The Beaches, The People, The Parties, The Opportunities, take your pick, but hard to choose just one!
Biggest Cultural Difference?
I would have to say race and religion are 2 things which are not an issue here in Dubai compared to back home.
Top Things to Do or See?
Desert safari, swimming with the dolphins & indulging in the crazy shopping specials.
Moving to Dubai was one of the best choices I could have made. A new era for me filled with amazing possibilities only in Dubai. I have a job a love, I get to travel the world, I’m surrounded by amazing ambitious people, and I get to party till I drop……
People always ask what’s it like to live in Dubai? I only have one word to describe it – Surreal! It truly has the biggest, the best, the first, the tallest, and any other crazy statement it can get its name on.
For me I think I was impressed at how everyone is career driven yet know how to have a good party.
My job allows me to work on the most amazing events all around the world, and I’m allowed to be as creative as I want. I love that this country admires people who push the limits and think out the box. As they say here there is no such word as impossible!!!
I spend my off days travelling the neighbouring emirates; tanning, camping and partying on the beaches (which by the way are as warm as a bath), Clubbing in some of the hottest spots where the Worlds Best DJ’s are brought down every month to perform, and who can forget SHOPPING!!
So this is home for now… I figure, why leave when I have such a good thing going!
