Thank you so much Katie!True I crave the normalcy but yet cannot live outside a multicultural environment. I guess I am more my mother’s daughter than I realize.
Wish you many more “Arabian” and other adventures!I think you are more brave than you think. Bravo!
Would love to meet you:)

As one who 60+ and lived my entire life in my hometown (except for 4 years in college), I am totally envious of your adventures. That is why I leaped at this late in life opportunity to live in Dubai. As with you, the “intoxicating, exotic mix of languages, cultures, religions, and races” are an adrenaline rush! Dubia Wives is next on my reading list and I know it will be a great read! Looking forward to meeting you!

It would be a shame if we couldn’t read about all of your interesting adventures.

Thank you so much Holly. We traveled by car with the kids from the Middle East to Europe (a two week trip) the youngest was 2 then! We have also taken them across the Saudi desert, Europe and in the US on some ill planned but in retrospect wonderful trips. As they get older am sure they will embark on a series of their own adventures.I can feel their restlesness:)

Her children will have a story as well. We all love lavish lifestyles but I look forward to reading about them from the perspective of a woman who uses the word “hodgepodge” in the same sentence…another common ground.

That ‘s a proof of her talent in languages .Even at that earlier stage of her life, Zvezdana did show her creative and descriptive writing skills, when we were asked to write an essay about any topic.

She is a friend I admire and highly respect. I enjoyed reading Dubai Wives which just carries the reader to that region. While reading I could relate to the culture,sounds ,smells etc of Dubai.

To sum it up, Zvezdana is a kaleidoscope of cultures annd adventures!

Thank you for sharing this. Did your children pick up your same love of travel and adventure?
