Dubai — a destination well-known to everyone. In 2009, on my way to India, I found myself with a long layover in Dubai. That was the moment I decided to step out and dive into the luxury of this new world, even if only for 12 hours. Breakfast at Atlantis, The Palm, a quick two-hour nap, a tour of famous landmarks, and then it was back to the airport. Short, but an unforgettable adventure.
In 2011, I returned to Dubai to open and establish a brand-new fitness center in Silicon Valley. If you didn’t already know, one of my professions is as a conditioning and fitness trainer—a skill I possess but don’t actively practice due to my lifestyle and my passion for travel and movement. Because of this, my work in Dubai lasted only 2-3 months, and I’ve never returned there for work again.
However, I still go back to Dubai to have fun and create new memories!
