    A guy that used to work in finance with us in the U.K. (25 years old)- applied to our new branch in Dubai and he got it. We never saw him again for around 3 years! And apparently was enjoying his new lifestyle out there. He finally came back to the U.K and bought his first house! (Let that sink in). Going back to the jobs aspect- it’s best if you’re in a specialist field

    Great Vlog! Really good information and dead accurate. Your videos helped me pull the trigger on moving out here last April. I found the Accommodations video extremely helpful and it led me to look for places on Ream Island. I showed my wife the one that you and Beelah made together and It eased some of her worries about me coming out. This place has already turned my family's financial situation around and I love it here. Thanks for what you do brother. I have no doubt that you're making a positive impact on the lives of countless others with the content you put out.

    It is becoming very very expensive to stay in the UAE recently especially for those who dont have good passports like U.S. & U.K. The water and electricity bills have increased 3 times now and not to forget the rents. Education was always very very expensive. Being an Indian I feel very sad because it was my goal to settle in the UAE when I was studying.
