I was never a sleeper, which is probably the reason why New York City always felt like home. But if the Big Apple once held the title, Dubai has undoubtedly rewritten the script. Last June, I turned the page to an extraordinary new chapter—I moved to the City of Life and gave birth to the most exciting offshoot of our digital presence.

PassportTalk is a trusted reference for all things travel—a curated space for those who seek beauty not only in landscapes, but in the stories, traditions, people and quiet moments that define a place. We believe travel is more than a destination—it’s a celebration of connection, culture, and the rich differences that make our world so beautifully diverse. Here, you’ll find narratives that honor the soul of each destination and uplift the places we visit.

Alongside travel and culture, PassportTalk explores health, wellness, spirituality and lifestyle—because how we move through the world is just as important as where we go. Our international editorial team is deeply committed to inspiring more conscious, enriching experiences—ones that nourish the spirit, celebrate meaningful connection, and leave gentle footprints wherever they lead.

I hope PassportTalk becomes your go-to destination for thoughtful, elevated travel. More than anything, I hope this space inspires curiosity, reflections, conscious exploration, and experiences that leave lasting imprints—on the world, and within ourselves.
