After a couple of minutes chatting with Charity, her smile filled the room.

Her enthusiasm for Dubai is infectious… on the day she came to the Lovin Dubai office where we interviewed her for the first episode of Season 2 for Blessed in Dubai, it was the first time she had ever used a Metro; she’s in awe of this city, everything from the sky-high buildings and the incredible mix of cultures to the kindness of people she’s met along the way and the progress she’s made since she arrived.

The flight she took to Dubai was the first time she ever left her home country

Moving to Dubai last year, it was her first time on an airplane and her first time leaving Ghana, a brave move to leave your entire family at home and enter the complete unknown.
