About this listen

Nick, Chelsea and their son have arrived in Dubai! It’s been two full days since moving abroad, so while they haven’t fully unpacked yet, they’ve been there long enough to have first impressions of their expat life. Among the subjects tackled are:

  • The 14-hour plane flight, including travelling with 24 bags.

  • Experiencing Dubai’s summer heat for the first time.

  • A first look at their new living space.

  • Assistance from the locals.

  • Plus the debut of a new recurring segment: Excellents and Boguses.

Follow along with their Instagram account nickchelsgenxcellentadventure.

Tags: Gen X, expat life, Dubai, parenting abroad, UAE, family adventure, emotional goodbyes, long flights, jet lag, culture shock, extreme heat, dehydration, new apartment, IKEA, friendly neighbors, Excellent and Bogus.
