About this episode

Sabah el kheir! In this week's episode, we're diving into why I moved to Dubai—something that was never part of the plan, but life has its own ways of surprising us. It all started with a bestie vacay that unexpectedly turned into my reality. Who would have imagined? Certainly not me. We'll also discuss the challenges of making friends and meeting new people in your 20s, especially when you move to a new country. Seriously, how do people do it? And of course, I couldn't resist bringing up dating apps. Grab some snacks, and let's talk about it in this sobhiye!
