I’ve got travel on my mind
My next few travel destinations to go after the summer are
1) Cambodia and Thailand
2) Turkie
3) Tanzania
4) Eygpt
5) Nepal
Nepal wasn't on my list before I became an UAE expat but it seems to be calling me. I have heard good things about Azerbaijan so maybe that will be a quick trip as well. I will try Oman one weekend.
Just my thoughts
Happy almost charter day to Alpha Alpha Lambda Zeta Chapter the first Greek letter organization of the National Pan Hellenic council in the UAE.
I had fun catching up and participating in trivia.
First book club was a success! We met at Circle Cafe for unlimited breakfast which was a treat for aed 69
We read Atomic Habits this month
Takeaways
What should we add to the to read list?
Spring break is coming to an end but I’ve had so many opportunities for wellness and smiles. I’m happy the humidity is still manageable here.
First I found my favorite brand of Belgium chocolate at carrefour!
Second I found a free Pilates class which was on grass in an amazing spot on Saadiyat . I didn’t think I’d miss grass so much.
Beach views on a windy day in Saadiyat
The Bridge Lifestyle Hub was really nice
The community classes and inclusion is very nice here. Plenty of activities for children.
I love the opportunity for deep relaxation through Sound healing
I’m going to have to plan to get this massage, supposedly this is comparable to a four hands massage and the sand is also heated oh la la
This adventure brings me to Al Alain the Garden City of the #UAE
Doing my regular reading to learn more about the UAE I came across an article about the Flower Festival. Luckily enough it is actually easy to connect with other expats i put my desire to attend in a group chat and found a gal pal to share the experience
The set up is across the street from Al Ain Oasis and smells glorious. Check it out before the end of the month. I’ll definitely be visiting more gardens while I’m here.

My first spring break in the UAE has been a blast thus far and it’s only Tuesday.
Monday included a ride to Al Ain for the flower festival
The weather was beautiful and the arrangements were cute. Not too much foot traffic so you can take your time and enjoy the show. I definitely have Miracle Gardens in Dubai on my list.
Pizza, ice cream and friends. What more could I ask for? Loving Abu Dhabi weather for now and grateful to share moments with friends.
Pizza is from Tellini
Ice cream is from Freez
Happiness day is real. Let’s take care of ourselves and each other. A smile can go a long way. Cheers
Fun fact I’ve never been to the #MiddleEast prior to my #etihad airways flight
If you have the opportunity to travel business class give it a try. Negotiate it with an employer or accrue credit card points or purchase airline miles.
Perks of Business class on Etihad include:
Airport Lounge access prior and post flight
White glove dining service
Alcohol if you choose
Amenities kit
Fully reclining seats, pillow and blanket for comfort
Top tier service from a crew member.
A desert Safari is such a great experience to see different parts of Arabian culture. Uninterrupted sand dunes, camels, sand boarding, traditional dances and food. I’ll definitely return when I have more guests.
Thriving at its best.
I’m grateful for the opportunity to experience International Women’s day in a another country. I immediately knew I was in the right place to celebrate when I arrived at Moksh. The restaurant is beautiful enough to make you stop and look at the design then wonder other treasures you can find.
Thank you to all the women who never gave up and those who continue to break the bias.
I break the bias coming to a new country to live for the next couple years. Advocating for myself and others and showing the world that women can get the job done!
Anyone else leave home to go live abroad during a Pandemic? I’m excited for this two year journey to live in Abu Dhabi and explore the United Arab Emirates and other parts of the Middle East.
I’ll be posting twice a week until work/grading/exams gets too crazy.
Thrive don’t just survive!
