π¨ From Dubai Dream to Reality Check π¨


Meet Natalie Goodall, a Brit who had her sights set on the glamorous lifestyle of Dubai but found out the hard way that all that glitters isn’t gold. π

At just 18, Natalie jumped at the chance to work in a stunning city known for its luxury and celebrity residents like Amir Khan and The Beckhams. Starting as a golf coach, she spent years soaking in the sun and scenic views, living the high life – nearly. ποΈββοΈβοΈ
But behind the opulence, Dubai’s relentless work culture hit hard. A gruelling 80-hour workweek left Natalie drained and questioning her future in the paradise she once adored. βIt’s like a trend – people see the glamour but miss the challenges,” she shared. π
By 2019, Natalie decided enough was enough. She packed up and returned to the UK, resettling in serene Dorset with her partner Will. Now a self-employed PGA professional, she’s found her balance and couldn’t be happier. ππͺ
While she fondly remembers the thrilling experiences and breath-taking sights of Dubai, Natalie warns that without considering the reality behind the sparkle, a luxurious escape could lead to disappointment.
Dreaming of swapping the UK for Dubai? π Consider this wise advice: Weigh up the lifestyle, the costs, and the unrelenting hustle before making the leap.
Would Natalie go back? Never say never, but it would take a massive salary to sway her now! ποΈ
