Return to Bahrain

So I have some big news for everyone. In my job hunt I got an offer at the Emirates Foundation in Abu Dhabi!

It is to myself and many a dream job; the perfect mix of country and people development, high level reach and authority, and a great team with very high ambition. It is also a rather new initiative with loads of potential yet to reach.

So, with the announcement of my new (inshallah) position I booked the first free days I had to go back to Bahrain and catch up with all of the AIESECers there.

Everyone here is doing wonderful and I am so glad to see all the people I helped impact in starting AIESEC here. Shout outs to Terbo, Claude, John, Lyna, Sahar, Shereen, Momo, Ahmed Aseeri, Ahmed Awali, Mahmood, Sarah (Social), Ausha Maynoona and Aysha Crystal.

If I forgot anyone I met up with the first day I visited, please forgive me!

Lastly, this is exactly one year from the time when I first arrived to Bahrain and had some life changing experiences. For one thing Bahrain is amazingly unique in the Gulf and world. And...of course...Bahrain is the place to be for Muharram once again. If anyone needs some info, check my old post from last year.

Time to enjoy and leave the office (we have a suitable one now, nice work MC06-07). Cheers.

Back in Dubai

Hello everyone. After a bout with slow and backlogged internet in Oman, I am officially back in Dubai. This time I have an indefinite time schedule and finished with AIESEC.

As you can imagine, I have loads of stories to share from traveling around the region, moving back to Dubai without much prepared, daily sights and sounds, and a job hunt which has been quite interesting to say the least.

From Tunisia directly to your heart was my first blog back in 2003, followed by my first nomadlife blog suitably entitled "From Dubai directly to your heart," after which I could have easily put Tunisia again in there, followed by "Bahrain" and then "The US" and finally "Oman," had I been so quick to update.

So a new chapter starts once again. Khalas, no more AIESEC, no more worries about what I will say and how it will reflect upon our organization. A slight escalation in freedom of speach. I can't wait...

For now I have something for those of you who don't know much about Dubai's projects and how it potentially will look in 5-20 years.
