Hi all! My name is Abby and I'm from England. I just accepted a teaching job in Dubai SO and will be moving from London in August. I particularly enjoy literature, house parties, history, water sports and being outside with my family. I found ExpatWoman online during my Dubai research. I am very nervous about finding the right accommodation for my family and I hope some of you can help me! Random fact- I love dogs, I don't have any at the moment but I have had 4 in my life (2 Bichon frises and 2 German shepherds) and can't wait to find a new fur baby or 2 when I move to Dubai.

Hey there! I'm Raquel. I've lived in the UK for 7 years now but planning on moving to Dubai in a few months. I'm originally Venezuelan but left my country 10+ years ago. Found out about EW by talking to other expat women who live in Dubai. I'm into archery, horses, books, food, beach, outdoors and anthropology. Looking for things to do to enjoy my stay and make friends. The UK is marvelous and I'm pretty well established here so I've had some hesitation about my decision to move to Dubai - I'm sure some of you might have had this experience. I'd love to hear from you regarding your move there!

Canadian expat for 20 years in GCC. Fitness, anything healthy, and exploring food recipes with no sugar, and healthy eating like when I grew up. I am rekindling my expat woman connection. Dubai has changed so fast, I feel the need to keep up with more socially engaged persons. One random fact about me? I have always preferred to spend time with Elderly persons 70+ than with my age groups since I was 20 years young.
