Hi!
My name is Mary, and I'm out here in Dubai until the end of June working as a nanny for an English family based here. I'm from London, so it would be great to perhaps meet some people who are from there as well so we can share in our homesickness together haha! I'd also love to meet people from around the world who are near my age, as I don't know many people out here in their twenties.
I know the city reasonably well, having been here before as I dated a guy who grew up here. I've done a lot of the touristy stuff but would love to find someone to explore some of the more cultural/historical aspects of Dubai. Also, a party buddy would be fantastic! I get 2 days off a week with my job, although they are not often weekends so someone who could also go out mid-week would be really great but obviously that's not a requisite!
Soo, a bit about myself:
I completed my BA in English Language & Literature a year ago in London (I went to KCL). Throughout I worked as a nanny to support myself and found it really enjoyable. I decided to take a year out to get my head straight and figure out what I wanted to do next, so have been nannying since finishing. I will be returning to London in September to start an MA in Nineteenth Century Studies, also at KCL.
I am a real foodie and love to eat and cook. Doing some kind of culinary tour of Dubai would be so much fun. I especially love Italian food but am keen to explore some of the local dishes and cuisine which I've never tried before.
I am obviously keen on literature and that kind of culture, and I write some of my own poetry and short fiction. It would be lovely to meet anyone who perhaps is interested in writing themselves as it's always great to read new stuff.
Anyway, it would be great to go for a drink/dinner sometime! Hope to hear from you soon.
Mary.
