ABOUT

Hi there

I'm Amy, thanks for stopping by my blog!

I am from New Zealand but live in Abu Dhabi. We moved here five years ago, originally thinking we would be here for only two years, but we are still here and not looking to go home any time soon!

We love to explore the country we live in, travel any time we can and generally eat and drink anything along the way. We live here along with our two dogs Gidget & Gizmo, who flew here all the way from New Zealand. 

I started this blog to show a glimpse of our life in the Middle East. I am asked alot "what's it like living here?" and the truth is it's really hard to explain. I think the Middle East has a bad reputation with all that's going on in the world but the fact is that the UAE is an incredibly safe, lively and opportunistic country offering amazing experiences everyday. I decided to share some of these experiences through this blog and hope you will enjoy following along. 

Oh, and if your wondering why the blog is called "Amy Mary" and not just "Amy"? well, years and years ago my good friend Jessica had many friends called Amy and so she adopted my middle name Mary and I became known as Amy Mary which has stuck as a nick name! 

If you want to get in touch I would love to hear from you!
