I apologized for being slack the other day and yet I did it again so obviously I haven't truly learnt my lesson. In my defense the heat and humidity here is suffocating and exhausting so leaves me with little energy at the end of the day! So here is my shameful attempt to make up for it. I also want to say thank you to those who messaged me when I hadn't updated my blog for a few days - It's so nice knowing that if something happened to me and I went quiet that ...

First of all, happy valentine's day everyoneeeeeee! Today was definitely my most interesting valentine's day. To start off we headed to a huge New Zealand café next to the beach! It was called the Lime Tree Café. It was soo awesome because they even had little posters of tikis and things like rocky road slices!

We decided to check out the world famous Dubai Mall! It is so huge it's absolutely insane. It's really, really easy to get lost - in fact I think it's a guaranteed part of the experience that you will totally lose yourself amongst the by far over one thousand shops. There are heaps of things in...

Just a few weeks ago I was sleighing down the hills of snowy Eastern Europe. Today, I was snowboarding down the sand dunes of the Middle East. Today was amazing. We went on one of those cheesy touristy desert safaris. It was pretty much the middle eastern equivalent of what we did in the Fijian islands in the sense that it was all specifically designed for tourists, and there is one big camp with lots of activities and you choose what you want to do and when.
