Hello Dubai!
My journey in Dubai has been a rollercoaster ride. Moving to a new country has been exciting and challenging. I love the country, culture and food. I am grateful for all the beautiful people, places, food and experiences so far!
Over the last two months, I focused on self-care and self-development. Exercising two-three times a week with a positive community has been a good place for social support, cooking healthy meals, reading books, journaling and keeping a good routine has helped improve my mental well-being and mood. Now I am looking forward to the next chapter, ready to work hard and put my heart into the next opportunity I land.
Here are a few of my favourite memories so far and many more to come.
Beach by FIVE, FIVE Palm Jumeirah
Beach by Five situated at Five Palm Jumeirah is the perfect weekend spot to gather your friends, sip away on cocktails and enjoy a magnificent French Riviera-inspired menu by Chef Florian Barbarot. Expect an exciting beach party, private beaches, a grand pool and a Mediterranean-sharing style menu influenced by traditional flavours of Spain, Greece, Turkey and the Levant.

Folia, Four Seasons Resort Dubai at Jumeirah Beach
Folia nestled at the stunning Four Seasons Resort Dubai at Jumeirah Beach is a must-visit. I was awestruck by the Arabesque palace-like entrance, lavish interiors, and charming private beach off the coast of the Arabian Gulf, featuring gorgeous ocean and sunset views. The best part of it all was the exquisite plant-based cuisine by Chef Matthew Kenney who is shaping the future of food with sustainable and vibrant dishes exploding with flavours.

A gem tucked away at Jumeirah Al Naseem with shimmering blue water views of the Arabian Gulf, this restaurant oozes sophistication and a neighbourhood sanctuary feel. The Arabian elements, vibrant yet warm interiors with peach pink tones, dim-lit ambience and alluring decor, make it a cosy spot to dine with loved ones. The playful menu features Scallop crudo slices, Asparagus crêpe, Crab and lobster croquettes, a luscious Sunday roast, Salmon wellington, Cream puffs of brioche and Twisted cannelé, to name a few.

The Dubai Edition
Situated in Downtown Dubai, The Dubai EDITION is a serene boutique hotel that’s perfect for a weekend getaway from the hustle and bustle of life. The moment I entered I slipped into a dreamy staycation mode and forgot everything else. From the opulent crystal chandelier, digital and abstract art, lush greenery throughout the venue and stunning views of Burj Khalifa, The Dubai EDITION is a lavish retreat in the heart of the city.
