A NEW JOURNEY : DUBAI, UAE 🇦🇪
Months passed with no posting here in preparation for the new life to tackle.
Hello hivers! This is me Teacher Ninya continuing my life in another dimension of the world.
July 13 when I left my family in the Philippines and hold on tight into the unknown.
I know that life will change now..
This is us an hour before boarding to Manila. With me is partner, my mom, my siblings and my pamangkins.
Cried a lot but this is the reality of life.
Fast forward, July 15, 2025 my flight to Dubai at 1PM.
I don’t know what to feel. I cannot explain and cannot utter a word. First time flying, first time to another country, first time traveling alone, first time in everything.
I don’t know anyone. I don’t know what is waiting for me.
WELCOME TO DUBAI 🇦🇪
Random photos in the road while going to my accommodation.
This is around 7PM and it is still daytime!
I was alone. A little shock and afraid of the new world. Different nationalities.
It was very hot, super hot.
Arrived at my accommodation safe and sound. Paid 100aed for the taxi.
Arranged my things, stayed in the upper bed, ate biscuit and slept.
12PM call time for work.
Random bathroom selfies to calm myself. Everything went well, did a medical exam, got home and rest.
Until now, mind is still blowing but God is greater.
See you all on my next blog! God bless us all everyone.

Hallo @ninya Your feelings are valid and I admire you for being courageous in following your dream. I know it's not easy but I must say that it's easier that you don't have kids yet because it's really difficult to leave them. (I'm assuming you're not a mom yet, so please correct me if I am wrong.) Anyway, God bless in your journey and take care.
Woah! it's really nice in Dubai (although I didn't went there) but many people said that Dubai is a good place. !wine
Hi! I cannot believe it myself either that I am now in another country without knowing anyone. Yes, glad I still don't have kids. Thank you for the kind words. God bless us all.
Yes, it is definitely nice here. The only problem is the weather because its too hot to handle ~
Thank you for curating my post, @vinzie1 ❤️
Congratulations teacher,there are many teachers out there who always dreamt of seeking greener pasture outside the country.Grab the once in a lifetime opportunity.May you always showered by God's blessings.
Thank you for your comforting words. Yes, I will treasure this once in a lifetime moment. God bless you
Congratulations and God bless in your new journey there, teach! Remember you always have your family back at home waiting for you. That's the biggest inspiration you have in every step of the way.
Thank you so much, teacher. I am always praying and hoping for good health always to finish the contract and go home soon 🥰
Congratulations on your new journey!
I also want to work in Dubai, but don't know how and where to start. Lol! Maybe I'll figure it out too.
At first, that’s what I thought too. But with the help of so many vloggers right now, I was able to use all the websites and pass my CV with different companies. A day, I send around 50-100! Haha
