    Dear Kiera, Thank you for making this wonderful video, and it is heartwarming as a Kuwaiti, to see you clear with complete honesty the many misconceptions people have about our country. Thank you for also welcoming people to kuwait with your kindness, love and advice to show that along with hospitality that's what Kuwait brings to the world internationally. On the dl though, when you said we were mostly nocturnal people, the description was spot on but the wording made it sound like we were vampires!(هههه بس قسمرة) All jokes aside, much love and God bless! Peace! P.S. Thank you for your prayer at the end, as right now because of what is happening in the world, now is the time for prayer. I won't mention it in English because I know a few people in the comment section may be affected negatively by my sentiment.( So since you have seen it plastered all over Kuwait I just wanted to say من الحركه الفلسطين و من كل أسرة .مدنية، "حرة الفلستطين

    Hey love. I hope you saw the clothes videos. The gyms don't usually have saunas and they're pretty expensive here. The minimum price that I've heard for a gym membership is like 30-35KD per month which is about 100-115 USD. IDK about you, but in the states we have memberships for a little as 10$ a month. My building has a gym in it so I just use that one.

    Gyms in Kuwait are very expensive. Small ones with only equipment are around KD 40-50 a month ($$120-150). Nicer gyms with pools, saunas, jacuzzis, classes etc are KD 100/month ($330) or KD 720ish a year paid upfront ($ 2300). Gyms are ladies/men only. Mixed gyms are usually super high end with indoor and outdoor pools, beach access, jacuzzi, sauna, kids club etc. These gyms also focus on having a community feel so its a place to socialize. These are $3000+ a year, not sure about monthly options. As for clothes... as long as its not short shorts/booty shorts, anything should be fine. Summers are HOT, cottons and linens are the best. Winters are cold but very short (1 month max). No bikinis on public beaches.. but you can wear them in private beach establishments (like the mixed gyms, beach houses etc)

    Hello 👋🏾 this is actually really normally and nothing to be concerned about. The visa process here can be very long because of the instability of the government. So a lot of schools/companies will hire on a visit visa and then convert it to a visa work visa. However please make sure you do your research because you never know.

If you decide to come over you’ll learn that there is a thing called Wasta here. And with Wasta, people can make anything happen or not happen in Kuwait. But again, I would just do your research and also make sure you have solid communication with your school’s HR liaison. Laws and rules are constantly changing in Kuwait. So it may be illegal this morning and legal by noon. I’m not trying to say anything negative about the country but it is factual that things are constantly changing here.

    It really depends on the job. Kuwait law says that women can’t sponsor a visa for their children. It has to be the husband. However, some jobs will allow them to be on a visitor visa which expires every 90 days and you have to leave the country for 48 hours (Visa Run). But some jobs won’t even hire single mothers at all. So it really just depends. If it helps, I do know some single mothers out here but all doing different jobs. And then there are some have had to leave their kids back home with family.
