About Vijay
I moved to Dubai in August 2026 and this is my second move abroad in the span of 3 years. I made the move after thinking my dream of moving and building a life abroad was over due to personal emergencies back home that pulled me back from Luxembourg. But I did things the right way and eventually found my way to Dubai, when I thought nothing else would click for me. What you'll get with me is first hand real life advice, practical tips to keep in mind and someone who will listen to you because I've been there before. If I can do it, that too without a master's degree, you can too. I'm here to help you either before/when you make the move or even after too.

Building a social circle in Dubai
1 × 45-min video session
Finding an active social circle and dating should be easy in a metropolitan and liberal country, especially in a city like Dubai, filled with expats. That's actually far from the truth. It is difficult, but it's not impossible. Even in such an environment with challenges, it's very much possible to make friends and even go on dates. I've done it and I'll share my insights about how to go about it. This is a gender agnostic topic, since I've met women who have struggled too.
- Personalized Review of your profile
- Recommendations for dating spots and activities
