About

It's hard to believe it's been nearly three years since I gave up fast-paced life in New York City and followed hubby to Bahrain and then the UAE. But here I am...living the dream (as my husband constantly reminds/teases me)! I've met a lot of amazing people in the Middle East...discovered a passion for teaching PILATES, and learned a lot about a culture far different than the one I came from. Life is good! Carpe diem!!!
Interests: traveling, pilates, reading, SUP, cooking

Occupation

I am Self-employed.

Loved the crystal blue waters, sunny days, and meeting people from around the world. And shawarma from Haifa Cafeteria, of course!
Couldn't stand all the inconsiderate and awful drivers and wished the locals would treat the environment with more respect (i.e. don't waste water or electricity, don't litter, recycle, etc.).

I have a big dog and moved to Amwaj because it's the best environment for him in terms of being able to go for long walks, play on the beach and in the water, etc. Lots of dogs in Amwaj! And it only takes 20 minutes to get to Seef from Amwaj, ... Read More
