Having lived in Dubai for the past 13 years, the notion of escaping on an all-important winter-sun holiday had, well, sort of escaped me. But before moving here, when I’d grown long-accustomed to the arctic climes of a UK winter, I’d stare longingly through travel agent windows as they advertised sun-kissed vacations in temperatures and destinations I could only dream of. Then, when I moved to Dubai, where winter weather rarely dips below 20 degrees during the day, there was far less call to seek sunshine elsewhere.
However, then along came Covid-19, playing havoc with my travel plans and, like so many of us, banishing me indoors for several months. But with borders opening and travel back on the cards, I have an itch to just get up and go – go anywhere, somewhere sunny, somewhere exotic, somewhere I can literally taste the adventure. I want to reawaken my travel senses and nurture my curious soul.
For now, may your travels be rich, wide and wonderful, wherever they take you…
