Travel

Nirvana is a blog section dedicated to travel in the UAE and beyond. In this section, I provide travel tips, hotels and my experiences on the go. I also happen to be a fan of the famous UAE staycations, so check back in here even if you are a tourist! Several aspects of my travels and will include several budget recommendations. I often summarise my total experience to give you a good idea and feel of the places to visit.

As I’m an adrenalin seeker and adventurous by nature, you’ll see a lot of that in this section. :) You’ll always see me hiking and trying out different water sports in the various countries I visit, but I do also enjoy history and culture. My favourite thing to do in a new city is to walk around, so make sure you follow me on my Instagram as I explore the world on my days off. The travel perspective is specific to those who travel from Dubai and or UAE, so I’ll provide you with the most budget-friendly resources to work with.

  • Loved these little mini #pancakes @thepancakestory 🥞 Weirdly, over these few months my cravings have changed - no more chocolate. I preferred the butterscotch flavored one with condensed milk, it wasn’t chocolate overload and the flavors were soft and subtle. If you’re a chocolate fan, go for the nasty Nutella or the Twix ones. Back to eating right then..need some damage control after this 😅 #findingbalance #1000calories #girlswithgluten #cravingsatisfied #OmNomNirvana
  • Damn, #Mumbai’s food scene is 🔥 You have sooo many #organic, #glutenfree and #vegan options at this cute little joint called @sequelmumbai in Pali Hill, Bandra. You might even spot the occasional celeb like I did 😁 thanks @priyankachopraa for showing me this new awesome place! Love it! (And the cookie I was treated to today 😁)
  • When you unintentionally dress up for #UAEnationalday 🇦🇪 My family and I moved into a new place yesterday, but it was nice to be with close friends & family. This long weekend feels like long in another way, it’s been so hectic. So much work to do, so little time! Wherever you are, hope you’ve had an awesome weekend. ❤️
  • Guys, I’m literally 2 kilos away from my goal weight 😭 I honestly never knew I would get to this point, despite having #Hashimotos & #PCOS. Learn more about my #weightlossjourney on my story & highlights ✨#weightloss #ahealthierme #weightlosstransformation
  • These #Dubaiwinter skies got me feeling like 💫
  • Baking is a piece of cake (cookie?) with @peaceofbake ❤️ I went back for a repeat of her double chocolate and peppermint cookie mix, but she has an interesting orange and gingerbread cookie mix too! Catch her @arteuae this weekend or at some of her other pop ups. #Supportsmallbusinesses #artisanbakes #cookiemonster #omnomnom
  • By the end of this week, I will have left my childhood home and my home for 22 years. I’ve never lived anywhere else in #Dubai. It’s like leaving a part of me behind. I will miss walking to the Rigga station everyday and seeing everyday things like walking past a discount shopping centre that offers free WiFi - where many working class people use it and can’t talk to their families because Skype doesn’t work. But they’ll try everyday, anyway. I shall miss Caesar’s pizza just a short walk away, with their now 2 dh pizza. 💯 markup since the 90’s. Plus VAT. I will miss going on runs around a parking lot that now houses a weekly workout led by a short muscly Asian man & skateboarders. The clock tower will no longer be seen by me everyday, and that just breaks my heart to even think of it. I will miss walking to Aroos Damascus for a meal,Qwaider Al Nabulsi for a kunafa, Gulf Pastry for manaeesh and Sultan Falafels. I will miss the distant sound of the prayers at Rigga mosque and the planes that pass overhead. ⠀⠀ #Deiraisafeeling #thisismyDubai
  • I want some. And #dimsum ⠀⠀ #Dumpling #Nomwithme #RamenSupperClub #Dubaifoodblog
  • A #ramen love story. Give me a bowl of any regular ramen and I most probably will not be able to finish it. But give me a bowl of @astoryoffood’s ramen and that’s quite a different story. There’s everything you need in it. Salt.Acid.Fat.Heat. You’ll hear me slurping out loud and devouring every last drop. #foodbeast #eeeeeats #liveauthentic #eatfamous #feedfeed #dailyfoodfeed.
