I am an Emirati foodie who was bit by the travel bug a couple of years ago.
Feel free to recommend your favorite restaurants and hotels for me to review!

Loved my weekend trip to Nashville! I had some of the best cronuts and fried chicken ever and enjoyed shopping at the cute boutiques. Of course, I had to try some cowboy boots on and where better to do that than on Broadway where country music is loud and the crowds are rowdy.
I have a bad habit of visiting Canada in the wintertime and although the weather conditions are not ideal (delayed flights anyone?), the locals are always such a joy. My favorite thing about visiting Canada when its freezing is that every local you meet will apologize for the weather! Now thats Canadian kindness at it's best. This week I'll cover my cold trip to Montreal.
I found myself in Oslo with no time to spare and a lot to do. I ended up loving my short time there from the hotel to the performances to the food and the museums, a real city keeps humming on even when it's cold outside.
The Norway in a Nutshell website is relatively easy to use but you need to research all your options before you go to purchase the tour route that you prefer. I have broken down the elements of the tour, given a quick overview of the tour and my suggestions of what elements to use.
A guide to increasing your chances to seeing and capturing the Northern Lights including where to go, when to go and how to best capture the lights as an amateur photographer.
I recently got back from a wonderful East Coast trip of the USA with my best friend and we quickly found out that our love for friend chicken is insatiable so we tried to have as much of it as we possibly could.
I woke up in San Francisco with nothing on my mind and no plans for the day, which is pretty unusual for me, so I perused Pinterest and settled on staying outdoors for most of the day, taking it easy and just exploring the city.
Of all the nicknames I have come across for San Fran, I think “the city that knows how” is the most relevant. This city clearly knows how to pick itself right back up after a disaster, dust itself off and keep on walking, and that is exactly what I loved about it. It is not a perfectly laid out plan but it is quite easy to get around and there is just enough history and architectural beauty to keep you coming back for more. The steep hills will have you working up an appetite, but for those who are less inclined to walk, the transportation system is easy to figure out.
One thing I quickly learned during my time in LA is that they have the BEST breakfast but the rest of their meals are kind of blah so you would do well to fill up early in the day and keep the hunger at bay until dinner. The one exception is In-n-Out which actually has some good burgers and excellent service. The line moves very quickly and the fries are also quite good. Although, It is a fast food place at the end of the day.
