I moved around a lot as a kid. My parents worked in the hotel industry so every few years we would be in a new town, never living anywhere for more than 5 years. I’m grateful for this, it taught me to be adaptable and flexible, and I met a lot of great people, too. So living in Abu Dhabi for 6 years has been a change, for my husband as well who had a similar living situation growing up.
I’ve absolutely loved living in Abu Dhabi! It means a lot to me. It’s where my husband and I made our first home together, where our daughter was born, and where we had so many awesome adventures from. The Middle East is a fantastic base for travel, one of the reasons why I’ve already traveled to so many countries!
I’m going to miss it here, I truly am. I guess that’s why I’ve had a hard time finding the motivation to pack, I’m sad to be leaving. Brunei will hopefully be just as exciting for my family and I, I’ll keep you posted! We’re having an apartment sale this weekend, wish me luck!
I’ll leave you with some photos of my time in Abu Dhabi and the United Arab Emirates. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask!
P.S. The gold bottles are a tradition my husband and I started when we moved here. Before every trip we would share a bottle, then write our destination on the bottom.
