So, my first post…

For someone who normally has so much to say, it seems strange that it has taken me so long to write a blog. It’s something that I have wanted to do for a long time, but was never quite sure where to start… Do I write a guide to Dubai and the United Arab Emirates, talking about events, activities and interests in the UAE, or blog about my travels, or do I focus on my work interests of Public Relations (PR), social media and communications? In the end I’ve decided to take the same approach as I do with my Twitter account, ie to have balance between the subjects, to think about it less and just write about what interests me, in the hope that it will also interest others. So read on if you’re interested in hearing about life in Dubai, travel around the Middle East and further afield, the outdoor scene in UAE and Oman, and my thoughts on how we can tap into the power of social media to optimise communications – it’ll be a varied read, I hope you enjoy it!
