A short story about us

Hi! We’re Emilina and Rosaria, two international students living and studying in Dubai. We met during our studies and quickly became close friends, bonding over everything from cultural differences to shared dreams.

Living far from home has taught us a lot, and one thing we realized early on is how important it is to feel connected. That’s why we created this space to share our experiences, thoughts, and daily life in Dubai, and to help others who might be feeling a little lost or alone.

Whether you’re new to the city, a fellow student, or just someone looking for a sense of community, we’re so glad you’re here. Let’s make Dubai feel a little smaller, and a lot more like home, together.

Welcome to our diary!
