The Celtic woman's safety chain...when far from home... So I have done it. Finally left the island and headed off into the wide blue yonder that is UAE. Well, its been a long old wait! Follow this link to see the build up to today's eventual leaving of the shores if you want to know … Continue reading Morrigan’s travel beads… 21st October 2019
Easing into Emirati Life…
This last week has flown by - eventful in some areas, necessary evils in others, and sometimes hit by the odd pang of loneliness and homesickness, especially when I get in touch with family at home or I fancy just grabbing someone to walk on the beach with or find a good bar to chill … Continue reading Easing into Emirati Life…
A taste of Dubai from another traveller … Great review 👌

Somehow the weeks have already flown by and much has happened, yet little has happened! This would seem to be the way of things here and as its a vibe I am quite good at I am simply going with the flow of life here!
So far… je ne regrette rien!!
I have already had some amazing experiences and seen some amazing things so am loving the whole opportunity. Will elaborate on events in my next post – as you can imagine it has all been far too hectic to date getting completely relocated but I have been keeping a written…
