Destination Dubai

by Gavriel Shaw

After my 14 months spent traveling and working from my laptop, I dreaded returning to the UK.

The cold weather. The daily chores. The London commute.  The same old same old.

So I tried finding clients in Spain and Dubai so that I would be able to relocate.

Atleast I got a nice day trip to a sunny climate.  And they got 2 hours of good consultancy advice.

And the 1st phone call with a potential Dubai client went well, but the 2nd call went terribly.  The MD seemed to want me to already know his industry, travel news, which I don't. 

So I'm 'stuck' here in the UK, perhaps for another few years at least.  Working with a great client now. Although it is still London and I'm bored of the place.

I am compelled by the buzz in Dubai and also emerging markets such as Brazil. 

Destination Dubai… Perhaps by 2010.
