Our departure day is looming, and after weeks of umm-ing and ah-ing we have booked a hotel for the first night in Dubai. When people have spoken about Dubai to me, it's always been portrayed as a place of luxury and exclusivity, somewhere I'd never really desired to go (mainly because I've been a student for almost all of my adult life). However, our round-the-world flight plan involves a stop over in Dubai, so we thought it was worth staying for a few days.
So far we've booked: a hotel for 1 night, couchsurfing for the rest of the time (4 nights) with a host we met through the site and a trip up the Burj Khalifa to watch the sunset. Our host advised us that there are plenty of 2-4-1 vouchers available for food, drink and entertainment throughout the city. He has some spare ones we can use, but they can be purchased before arrival too. This is going to save us so much money!
"Travel is the only thing you buy that makes you richer" - Mark Twain. It's adventure time! After working extremely hard in Uni, we decided before committing to the next chapter of our lives: getting a job, a flat and doing what some may call 'settling down', Allan and I thought we'd go on a mission around the world, as you do. I'm not the best at remembering things, so I thought a blog would be a good way to keep a record of what's been going on throughout our travels. Hope you enjoy it!
