Meet Nicola Chilton, a talented Briton living in the gulf who has given up the glamour of a hotel PR job and switched sides to be the media person who writes about them
Ah, the tao of synchronicity, Simon! This morning, over brunch with a wanderer friend, I spent a delightful couple of hours talking specifically about Pokhara in Nepal and quite generally about other magical places in Nepal and Tibet. The conversation rounded up on why neither of us felt the pull of Dubai.
Ta-dah! You have just introduced me to Nicola who didn’t feel the pull at first but who obviously loves it now.
What a strong, resilient woman to pull herself out of the shock of being made redundant to quickly create her “what’s next”. Her courage and fortitude have been richly rewarded with a beautiful lifestyle that offers so much less stress. 😁
Thank you so much for your lovely words, Kerry. I never really considered my journey to be particularly courageous - I just did what I did and kept going. The reduced stress has definitely been a bonus..! And you're right, I never felt the pull of Dubai at all but it has me well and truly hooked now. We don't quite have the views that Pokhara does, though. :)
Definitely courageous, Nicola. I sent the article to an Aussie friend who lives in Dubai. She has spent years wishing that she had the courage to give up what she doesn’t enjoy for her heart’s desire: Catering for people in a B&B in rural Tasmania.
She says this about you, “So envious of her courage!”

P.S. Thank Goodness for that redundancy. ;)
