I am a teacher in the UAE, from the USA (Florida). I am married and have three beautiful daughters, who my husband homeschools while working on finishing his degree as well. I am also pursuing a Masters in Ed Leadership. We love to travel and have adventures here in the desert also!
I joined expat.com on 28 August 2011.
I am a teacher with ADEC. I enjoy much of this area, although going home to visit is always wonderful! I plan to stay here about as long as they will let me.
I love the economic benefits and opportunities for travel. Many things that are rising in cost in the States are much less expensive here. There is also a wide opportunity to travel, as we are more central to the rest of the world here. We have a strong base of friends as well.
Well I am not a fan of the food, but that is minor as it is easy enough to obtain other types of cuisine as well. It does get HOT and the sand is, well, everywhere! The winters are wonderfully mild, though. I do miss the rain, as well!!!
I was born and raised here! It's home.
It's HOME! I love America.
Unfortunately, the economics. It's what drove us to consider overseas opportunities.
