Who ever claims Dubai has no soul, didn’t know where to go.🤷‍♀️ Far from the usual glamour and riches when you dive deep enough is a world of diverse cultures, old traditions and people so kind to share not just their thoughts, but food, coffee & kind hospitality. Dubai is full of contrasts, but these paths a little less travelled are my jam.
.
At the end of the day it’s always the people that make a destination. So don’t just rely on someone elses opinion or experience, but come see it for yourself.

It’s out here on the mountains my soul always comes to life. ↠
.
The mountains of Hatta less than a 2-hour drive from Dubai near the borders of The United Arab Emirates & Oman was quite the adventure this fine sunny day.❤️

FOUR THINGS I LEARNED TODAY IN DUBAI // Trip in paid partnership with @visit.dubai #visitdubai
.
1. Amongst the emiratis hospitality comes first and that means home too. There should always be snacks and coffee at hand in case strangers walk in. After hosting the stranger for 3 days, it starts to be relevant to ask exactly why they are stopping by.

2. Making perfume is and old tradition many women learn at a young age and most will have their own special scent. Back when the men would ride camels to get to the next country, they would spray the perfume of their wife or mother on a tassel to have something that would remind them of home on the road.

3. Falafel is one of the most politically charged questions all over the Middle East, because each country here claims to be its origin. If someone asks you where falafel is from, make sure to respond with the name of their country.

4. In the public eye, Dubai is celebrated for things like gold ATM’s and the world’s tallest building. What nobody celebrates is how Dubai has been providing a home to culinary traditions that in some cases cannot even call their own home home anymore. And on that note, we enjoyed a delicious Iraqi dinner tonight with the amazing @fryingpanadventures ❤️

🇬🇧 At the end of the day this whole travel thing comes down to the human connections we make - to those little moments in time we share with strangers who become friends.
.
There is so much to learn from anyone we cross paths with and that’s exactly why I’ll stop and share a conversation every chance I get when I’m on the road. This alone to me is a reason to explore.
.
Yesterday my taxi driver from Cameroon told me about her dream of visiting Finland, but how difficult it is to get a visa with her passport I was again reminded of how privilidged we are to see the world. Today I shared a bag of dates on a little wooden boat at sunset with a kind Indian man who told me stories of his home and got really excited when I told him I’ve spent two months in India before. In the end he gave me a tip on where to have dinner tonight, which is my plan right after I’ve posted this!

🇫🇮 Matkustamisen paras puoli on lopulta aina ne ihmiset, joihin tutustumme matkan varrella ja joiden kanssa jaamme pieniä hetkiä elämästä.
.
Olen oppinut kaikista eniten niistä pienistä kohtaamisista tien päällä. Eilen kamerunilainen taksikuskini kertoi miten on jo pitkään haaveillut matkasta Suomeen, mutta tuskin sinne koskaan pääsee koska viisumi on niin vaikea saada - tämä oli hyvä muistutus siitä miten etuoikeutettu sitä Suomen passi kourassa onkaan. Myöhemmin puuveneessä auringon jo laskiessa viereeni istui intialainen mies ja tarjosi taateleita. Hän kertoi minulle tarinoita kotimaastaan ja innostui kun kerroin viettäneeni kaksi kuukautta Intiassa! Sain mieheltä illallisvinkin, joten suuntaankin seuraavaksi etsimään hänen vinkkaamaa ravintolaa!😜

While Helsinki is dark and rainy, I’m happy I got to enjoy snowy days on the Swiss mountains - few updates from these adventures now on the blog!👋🏻 But now I should be packing, because tomorrow I’m off to somewhere warmer than here!😜

AUSTRALIA NEEDS US ALL!❤️ HERE’S HOW TO DONATE!👋🏻
.
First of all, so many of you guys already donated money through the links I shared earlier on my stories - THANK YOU SO FREAKING MUCH.❤️🙏🏻
.
There is a place in the Australian bush I call home and it breaks my heart to see the surrounding areas in flames. So far, luckily, my Aussie family and their rescue and farm animals are safe.
.
The bushfires are bad though and nobody knows when this hell comes to an end. Yes there has always been bushfires in Australia, I remember them well - but never anything like this.
.
So, I have received a lot of questions on where you can donate and how can you help. The best way to help is to donate money. Here are a few causes I can recommend that currently do amazing work to save homes, wildlife and the poor suffering nature:
.
Fire fighters: @nswrfs @cfavic @qldfire
Wildlife rescue: @wireswildliferescue @therescuecollective @wildlifevictoria
Koala hospital: @portmacquariekoalahospital
Community rescue: @salvosau @redcrossau @foodbankaus
.
Check their accounts to find links to donate directly! Or share this post! If you know other causes I should tag here, do let me know!
.
➡️ I myself am flying to Sydney in a few weeks to see family. If you are aware of anywhere I can be useful in this situation around New South Wales, do let me know. I have previous experience with wildlife rescue and am not afraid of hard work. If there is a way I can help, I’m more than happy to trade my Bondi beach vacation for something more important right now.❤️🙏🏻
