Q&A | Life in Dubai as an British expat of 8 years | What is it really like?

What are the pros and cons of living in Dubai? Why did I decide to move here? What is Dubai really like to live in after 8 years?

--------------

This week I'm answering all of these questions and more as a way of not only introducing myself on the channel, but also sharing some of the insights I've gained after living here since 2016.

Get ready for a story time on how and why I moved to Dubai, what it was like as a 23-year-old British expat moving to a new country where I didn't know a single person.

Dubai has become my home and I've built my dream life here, I can't imagine myself living anywhere else right now. That's not to say it doesn't have it's downfalls like any place, but in this video I'll break down the reality of life in this incredible city.

If you've ever wondered whether you should move to Dubai or not, I also offer some advice for people who are thinking about making this city their home. Plus, I throw in some personal questions about food, career, business, and my content creation journey.

Let me know your thoughts in the comments! Have you been to Dubai? I'd love to hear your perspective.
