Welcome back! From beach clubs to desert safaris, this episode is all about those “pinch me” moments when we realised — yep, this isn’t a holiday… we actually live here.

We’re chatting through our very firsts in Dubai: 🏖️ The first beach club that gave us main character energy 🐪 Our first desert adventure (spoiler: it involved disgruntled camels) 🛬 And that surreal moment where it all hit — this place is home now.

Whether you’re a brand-new expat or just nosy about what it’s like to swap Irish rain for 40°C and skyscrapers, this one's full of laughs, stories, and sun-soaked surprises.
