The United Arab Emirates, mainly the city of Dubai, had practically become my second home for a total of 14 years since December 2005.<\/p>\n

This city that never sleeps, with an incredible number of beautiful moments and unique experiences, has significantly changed my life and will always be fondly remembered. Without this unique environment, I would never have been able to travel the entire world.<\/p>\n

During the hot summer months I always escaped to Germany or the wide world and then spent my entire life in Dubai from September to April. During these fantastic 14 years, I felt like I had traveled to every corner of the country by car, climbed all the mountains and visited all the country's sights.<\/p>\n

What remained are friends for life who accompanied me during this exciting time and made the stay so unforgettable.<\/p>\n

Dubai is a city of superlatives, you can either love it or hate it. But every travel lover should visit the glittering metropolis once in their life to form their own opinion.<\/p>\n

Dubai, Thank you for letting me call you home for a long time. I was able to live and work where millions of people spend their holidays every year for a lot of money, an incredible privilege.<\/p>\n\n
