I’m am obsessive compulsive communicator who has lived in the Gulf for almost a decade. Enjoying the challenge of working in a region where you’ve got to be innovative, patient and determined to make things happen. Miss being a full-time journalist! Miss family even more!
Sometimes I mouth off, but more often I grit my teeth and try to encourage change through a smile (not as easy as you think). Despite living in Riyadh Dubai Bahrain is home for me.
Hello Alex. Being in Dubai was an eye-opener for me. In Australia, we hear a lot about Dubai — and it’s all good. Dubia has such a grand reputation. What pleased me most was not only the city and its magnificence, but the Heads of State who must be the envy of the world. The leaders of Dubai are such visionaries, that I can imagine each and every country being envious of their track record. For a small, young country (in modern terms) to show such foresight, ought to make a lot of world leaders wake-up and get cracking. Cheers and thanks for your kind words. I enjoyed my visit. The (multicultural) delegates made my job so much easier and definitely pleasant. It’s a pleasure to work with such switched-on people. Jonar Nader.
