It’s been a whirlwind couple of months. For anyone who hasn’t been keeping up, after 13 years, 2 months and 28 days, I’ve ended my time as an expat in the UAE (12 years in Dubai, 1 year in Abu Dhabi) and moved back to the US—to my former home of Philadelphia, in fact. It was a wild and unforgettable ride in the UAE, one that I have absolutely zero regrets on, but this summer a switch in me flipped and I knew it was time to go. Leaving all of the amazing friends I’d made in Dubai and Abu Dhabi was heartbreaking, but the memories are insane and unforgettable, and I can’t wait to continue traveling to all corners of the world to reconnect with my global family over the years ahead.

Happy #internationalcatday to these absolute lazy but also buckwild legends.

13 years ago today I landed in Dubai and became an expat. I’ve always called this my “Dubaiversary” but now that I live in Abu Dhabi that doesn’t quite work? “United Arab Anniversary” doesn’t really have the same ring...

My return to travel took me to Sri Lanka, and to the beautiful, delicious and utterly relaxing @kahandakanda boutique hotel on a small tea plantation above Lake Koggala. But for as wonderful as the experience was, it was not without its pandemic-related hiccups. Read on for the full story at www.travelaurel.com (link in bio).
