Are you considering making a big life change in 2022? If moving to another country is an idea that you have been mulling then I say, why not? Why not make this the year that you simply go for it? Moving to Dubai was one of the best decisions I ever made, for a multitude of reasons. The new people I met, the amazing memories but also the additional career experience that it gave me.
So in the interest of sharing the knowledge, I thought I would put together some content that those who are interested in moving to Dubai might find useful. In this week’s video I have listed the top reasons why British people should consider moving out to Dubai to live and work, be it short term or long term. If you have any questions or need any advice about making the move, do feel free to reach out to me on Instagram.

Today is Good Friday—a day of mourning across the world—and on this sombre day, it feels like a suitable time to open up about something I’ve been grappling with in my personal life: an unimaginably painful bereavement following the loss of a loved one. I wish I were...
Exploring Abu Dhabi – UAE
During my recent trip to Dubai, we took a little weekend excursion to Ahu Dhabi to explore all that the Emirate has to offer. When I lived in Dubai I never made it over to Abu Dhabi for a proper visit, with the exception of a fleeting trip to the Grand Mosque. As it's...

Rolex SailGP Championships Dubai 2024

I think we can all agree it has been a shocker of a summer and for the first time since I moved back to the UK, I’m genuinely missing life in Dubai - namely the weather! I am back with a flurry of blog posts that I have not had the time or chance to put up until now....

This blogpost has been sitting in my drafts for far too long and is massively overdue. I feel like the last few months have just flown by in a bit of a blur and summer is slipping away all too quickly. I’ll keep it short and sweet for this month’s instalment, in the...

One minute is Christmas, then suddenly New Year arrives and before you know it, we are well into January. Why does it always seem like someone has their finger on the fast forward button this time of year? I had planned to put this blogpost up much sooner but there we...

All too soon, the summer 23 chapter has come to a close. Despite a gasp of late sunshine a few weeks back, I am sure we all feel as though we didn't really get a proper summer this year. Now that autumn is upon us and with the feeling of transition into a new season,...

Another month is here and spring/summer feels like it is flying that bit too quickly methinks. I don't have anything massively profound to share in the form of a monthly reflection like I normally try to with these posts. What I will say is that blogging is starting...
Reclaiming your attention – setting better boundaries with techÂ
In this day and age, it's safe to say that the majority of us clock up some pretty hefty amounts of screen time each day. Many of us stare at computers at work, only do the same with our phones in our free time. In a bid to improve my overall wellbeing, I recently...

Wow, is January nearly over already? 2023 has been good so far. I’ve felt a sense of peace and alignment return to me, which is perhaps a result of some of my New Year’s resolutions. The main ones were to stop agreeing to things that I don’t mean, as a form of...
Feel The Fear And Do It Anyway – the book that changed my lifeÂ

It’s not long at all before we turn the page on the chapter that was 2022. Looking back on the year, it could not be more different from the year I had previously. Largely because I moved from the bedazzling Dubai back to the British countryside. I’m someone who...
