Davidoff 2013 "Year of the Snake” Edition 2013 is represented in the Chinese calendar by the sign of the snake. To mark the occasion, Davidoff has created the new "Year of the Snake" edition of cigars with three fine limited-edition accessories.

Basel, December 2012. At the start of the Chinese Year of the Snake (February 10, 2013), Davidoff is launching the new 2013 "Year of the Snake” Edition, with four exclusive limited-edition accessories. In the Chinese calendar, the sixth of the twelve Chinese signs of the zodiac is characterised as wise and graceful. The Snake is the quintessential symbol for intelligence and profundity. Particularly delicate and fine when depicted in a figure of eight, it has become one of the most popular decorations in all of Asia, not only for its unique symmetry but also because it carries the promise of infinity, material prosperity and luck. It is said that Snake-people like to possess the finer things in life.

Premium cigar brand Davidoff is also synonymous with luxury and the total "crop to shop" concept. "Year of the Snake" is, therefore, not only the unusual name given to the new limited edition, but also the connection of quintessential wisdom and stylish quality awareness with Davidoff.

Integrating these characteristics into an aroma represents a challenge for the Davidoff Master Blender: namely, to combine particularly old tobaccos to successfully create three layers of flavour - from floral nuances reminiscent of honey, to caramel, and finally to peppery notes of wood or nut, whilst also providing a captivating quality.... highly aromatic, with light-medium strength and Cuban thickness, the cigar develops a charming creaminess due to the Ecuadorian binder. The impressive Churchill format makes for a long smoking experience punctuated with the delicacy and refinement of a cigar with charisma.

The octagonal, red-lacquered wooden box containing eight cigars will provide pleasure in the coming year.

The cultural background of this 2013 "Year of the Snake” Edition is every bit as fascinating as its aesthetic appearance: The "White Snake Story", the Chinese love story still extremely popular today, can trace its origins back to a legend from the Ming dynasty (1368 AD) and, amongst other things, has inspired Davidoff’s new cigar - a cigar that preserves its cultural heritage whilst using passion and attention to detail to unlock the spirit of a dynamic, global environment . Those who fall in love with this cigar have no sense of superficiality. The fine, profound 2013 "Year of the Snake” Edition is for aficionados who smoke intelligently.

The uniqueness of this luxurious edition with a double ring speaks for itself. It is limited to 4,500 pieces and is available at Dubai Duty Free as of January 2013.

DUBAI’S SMILES Dubaians have much to celebrate this year as we move into the second month of the year wrapped in optimism and positive vibes.

According to the latest Gallup Poll, people in the UAE are amongst the happiest in the world.

The poll included 148 countries and questioned 1,000 people in each, placing Panama and Paraguay as the top two happiest places. The UAE took 25th place, alongside with the UK and Mali.

While the UAE took the third place in the Middle East, Kuwait and Oman are said to have the highest happiness levels in the region.

Meanwhile, the charismatic Dubai leader H.H. Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, UAE Vice-President and Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai – who recently celebrated his seventh Accession Day anniversary – has been named as one of the 10 most-followed world leaders on Twitter, with some one million followers.

The World Leaders on Twitter Ranking Report was conducted in December 2012 by the US Digital Policy Council, which analysed the social media presence of 123 out of 164 world leaders. US President Barack Obama topped the list with some 25 million Twitter followers.

Sheikh Mohammed, who is said to have 1.3 million Twitter followers, has been using the social media platform to inform his followers of his activities, including the opening of the world’s only A380-dedicated Concourse A at Dubai International, and the opening of the new covered walkway that links Burj Khalifa metro station with The Dubai Mall.

Meanwhile, cyclists are enjoying the new 50-kilometre-long two-way dedicated cycling track that was opened recently.

The Dubai Cycling Course, built by the RTA, is to be a major feature in the Dubai Tour 2014 – an event organised by the International Cycling Union. The special provision for cyclists is also part of the city’s goal of improving road safety and sensitivity towards eco issues.

Happy travels…. dv The dv team

ow in its 21st year, The Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships, held under the patronage of H.H. Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, has become an iconic event with the world’s top players returning year after year to the delight of the sell-out crowds.

The Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships began life as the Dubai Men’s Open back in 1993, when Karel Novacek won the singles and the pairing of Anders Jarryd/John Fitzgerald the doubles.

Since then, the tournament has continued to grow from strength to strength with the roll call of players in both the men’s and women’s tournaments (the latter of which began in 2001) reading like a ‘who’s who’ of tennis stars – Goran Ivanisevic, Juan Carlos Ferrero, Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, Martina Hingis, Amelie Mauresmo and Justine Henin have all taken part.

And the 2013 line up of stars promises to be as strong as in previous years. With an incredible eight of the top ten women and six of the top ten men competing for the Championship titles, the stage is set for two thrilling weeks of action.

The 2013 Championships will follow previous years’ formats with the WTA tournament being run from 18 – 23 February, followed by the ATP tournament from 25 February – 2 March. In the women’s tournament crowds can expect a tightly fought contest between top seeds Victoria Azarenka, Serena Williams, Agnieszka Radwanska, Angelique Kerber and Sara Errani, while confirmed attendance in the men’s tournament include Novak Djokovic, Roger Federer, Juan Martin Del Porto, Tomas Berdych, Janko Tipsarevic and Jo-Wilfried Tsonga.

The action is centred around the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Stadium (voted by players on the ATP World Tour as ‘best venue’) where the FEbRuaRY 2013

5,000 seat centre court also comprises a VIP area, Royal enclosure, commentary boxes and WTA and ATP Tour offices. Nestled beside the stadium are The Irish Village, Century Village and of course the newly opened Jumeirah Creekside Hotel – where players will stay, while at the site, fans will have a chance to see their favourite players warming up for the matches.

Last year’s 20th anniversary event drew a record crowd of more than 100,000 people and a television audience of millions who saw almost every top player in the world battle it out for the coveted titles.

At the end of the first two weeks Poland’s Agnieszka Radwanska had taken her first Dubai women’s crown defeating Julia Goerges of Germany and Switzerland’s Roger Federer claimed his fifth Dubai title defeating Britain’s Andy Murray.

There will be action aplenty again this year not only on court but off court too. The hugely popular Kids’ Days, Ladies’ Day and Fantastic Fan Day will be held, as will the Catch and Win game which gets every match off to an exciting start. Last year 10 lucky spectators won

The Tennis Village will also be buzzing all fortnight with roving entertainment, music, tennis games, autograph signings, and the big screens showing the action live. There’ll be a host of other events and activities, with plenty of chances to win coveted finals tickets.

No wonder the event has amassed a number of accolades in the past decade; last year it collected its eighth title in 10 years as the ATP World Tour 500 Tournament of the Year. This Award is voted by the players, who all enjoy the tennis village atmosphere and enthusiastic crowds.

Love is in the air Thousands of couples in dubai will be exchanging red roses, boxes of heart-shaped chocolates, balloons and of course, cards in the name of St Valentine come 14 February. but what does the rest of the world do to celebrate Valentine's day? dv investigates some global traditions.

I

jumeirah zabeel saray

t’s officially the second biggest card event in the world (after Christmas) with a staggering one billion Hallmark moments being sent out each year, while in the UK, it’s also the busiest day of year for Samaritan hotlines (after New Year’s Eve), when lonely hearts call for sympathy and comfort.

In Dubai, though, you’ll find a sea of red. Nowhere celebrates the universal day of love better than the Emirates. If you want to plan something special it couldn’t be more fortuitous this year as 14 February falls on a Thursday – marking the start of the weekend. Check out your favourite restaurant’s Valentine’s packages – usually a themed menu, with bubbly and chocolates included. Or else, plan a spa break with your partner in one of the many spas where rose petal baths, chocolate scrubs and all manner of aphrodisiacal potions induce a state of relaxation and voluptuousness. Each hotel will have especially ‘suite’ offers which may include chauffeur driven pick-ups, bouquets of roses and other surprises; you can usually bank on these ranging from Dhs300 upwards, with five-star hotels outdoing themselves for the most romantic ideas.

If you’re unattached have no fear either – many of the city’s bars and clubs organise special ladies' night events or fun-infused single ‘mingles’ where Cupid’s bow and arrow have been known to strike.

While the more cynical might see Valentine’s Day as overly commercial, in Dubai it’s more about embracing the spirit of the day and showing love and appreciation for everyone, including your colleagues, partners, teachers, pets and parents. Remember the Law of Attraction - sharing the love means getting it back too!

some gift ideas for vaLentine’s day

Denmark The Danish have added a special spin to writing love poems in a tradition called Gaekkebrev. On Valentine’s Day, young couples write romantic love poems but the sender remains anonymous. Instead, he signs his name only in dots. If the receiver guesses the correct name, she will receive an Easter egg later on in the spring. Along with the Gaekkebrev, it is traditional to give loved ones snowdrop flowers.

Chile It’s said that the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach and in Chile this rings true. Chileans love to celebrate Valentine’s Day by preparing dishes like pastel de choclo (ground beef casserole), cazuela (a stew-like dish containing meats and vegetables), and a very popular drink called mote con huesillo.

FranCe For the love of art, couples in France face each other and draw portraits of their loved ones. There is a popular custom in Paris where couples lock a padlock on the Pont des Arts behind the Notre Dame Cathedral. The padlocks are left on the bridge and couples throw away the key into the Seine River as a symbol of their eternal love.

Japan Women give their boyfriends and husbands homemade chocolates called hon-mei. One month later, on March 14 (known as White Day), men reciprocate by giving white chocolates to their significant others, along with flowers and gifts.

Taiwan On both Valentine’s Day and the holiday in the lunar calendar (7 July), roses are given to women by the men. The quantity of the flowers has great significance: one rose means “one and only love”, 11 roses means “favourite,” 99 imply “forever”, and 108 roses signal a marriage proposal.

Brunch! ai, yet it’s something of an institution in dub city the Friday brunch has evolved as the s type all es ass omp enc develops and now new the cts sele of cuisine and budgets. dv tips on places to be seen and offers some y MccorMick enjoying them to the full. Words: Penn

ith around 450 hotels in the Emirates, there’s no shortage of choice when it comes to choosing where to brunch at the weekend. And while the concept usually involves ‘all you can eat and drink’ the different environments lend themselves to different clients – from family parties, corporate get-togethers, birthday celebrations or more raucous stag and hen dos. Prices can range from Dhs100 to 500 with the dress code ranging from casual to chic, and it’s de rigueur that bubbles flow freely.

Alcohol can only be served within the confines of a hotel and brunches have the reputation for lasting up to three hours or more; therefore it’s an afternoon’s commitment rather than a ‘quickie’ lunch.

For first time visitors to the Emirates, it’s worth noting that behaviour on leaving brunch destinations should be discreet and respectful – Friday is the Muslim holy day, and any excesses of expatriate behaviour does not often sit well with the local population.

To enjoy brunches to the full therefore – select your spot with care.

Some places have entertainment for children, which does not suit all tastes, while other venues have party music or dance floors that won't match mature tastes. Check, too, the inclusive prices – most offer a price for soft drinks, with alcohol and champagnes extra additions. It’s also common sense not to drink and drive, while also being against the law. If friends have been consuming any alcohol at all, make sure they are escorted home personally. Last but not least, enjoy the diversity of cuisines on offer as well as the excellent service and environments.

There’s nowhere in the world where brunch is better!

Kitzbuhel

Best ski resort for charm: kitzBuhel, austria As a comeback it's been a slow one – a quarter of a century, to be precise. But Austria is edging closer to overtaking France as the place to ski. Back in the Seventies, when skis were straight and Franz Klammer ruled the downhill courses of the world, most skiers went to Austria.

Austria now represents better value for money than the most popular resorts of the French Alps. Moreover, the standard of service is higher and the welcome is warmer, especially in Kitzbuhel. Watching the annual Hahnenkamm, the toughest of all downhills, which is hosted there, takes your breath away. At one point, the course plunges away at an angle of 85 degrees. The Hahnenkamm, though, isn't really what Kitzbühel is about.

This former medieval mining town, set against the beautiful backdrop of the Wilder Kaiser mountains, is actually one of the softies of the skiing world. Even the notorious Streif racecourse becomes a Familienabfahrt – a family run – once the World Cup circus has left town. Kitzbuhel is also one of those resorts that appeals to non-skiers as well as skiers. Its pretty, pedestrianised streets are lined with luxury hotels and upmarket boutiques. While St Anton holds the crown of "Europe's liveliest ski resort," and Innsbruck is home to one of Europe's liveliest and most beautiful cities, Kitzbuhel is considered the "Pearl 28

of the Alps" and and has been welcoming visitors for 700 years.

Where to stay: The Grand SPA Resort A-ROSA Kitzbuhel is nestled among the Tyrolean mountains against a magnificent Alpine backdrop. Whether you love action or are seeking relaxation, this destination is a hideaway of incomparable beauty, with a spa to meet all physical and emotional needs.

Best for luxury: Gstaad, switzerland Switzerland is the epitome of chocolate box pretty and Gstaad is the resort of fairy tales.

Surrounded by the Alps, its most prominent feature is a picturesque castle that sits on a hill overlooking the village. At night, the Palace Hotel is lit by spotlights and the eves of every chalet in the village are illuminated by strings of small white lights. Adding to the charm of this winter wonderland is that the town is car-free and all destinations are a close walk away.

Despite Switzerland's diminutive size, its ski resorts are diverse, ranging from the large and glamorous (St Moritz and Zermatt) to the small and quirky (Andermatt, Villars and Zinal). Gstaad is the epitome of the luxury ski holiday. Go figure: Madonna was recently spotted with her family learning the ropes on the slopes and long-time residents include Valentino and socialite Taki as well as a plethora of actors and actresses. The boutiques are all designer and may account for why Gstaad has historically attracted a slightly older visitor. As a resort, Gstaad has 61 lifts and 51 pistes with 172 km of cross country ski trails.

Where to stay: The Alpina Gstaad is the first newly built luxury hotel in Gstaad in 100 years and opened just ahead of this year’s ski season, already gaining a five star rating. Set in a prestigious hilltop location, the hotel includes a Six Senses Spa and the first European outlet of the Japanese restaurant Megu.

from simulated flights to Western europe’s highest building, dv provides a global vision of what’s new this month. words Catherine belbin

Wannabe pilots can now take to the cockpit of a Boeing 737 and fly the world from The Dubai Mall. A new flight simulator installed in the mall allows people to enjoy the thrills of a simulated flight. German entrepreneur Wolfram Schleuter, who already has ten simulator centres in Europe, created the programme, which was developed by iPilot.

An in-mall 15-minute flight costs Dhs299. For those who feel ill-at-ease about flying there is also an hour-long flying programme designed to help nervous flyers get over their fear.

More iPilot simulators are to be opened in Abu Dhabi next year and expansion into the US market is on the flight path.

Western Europe’s tallest building, the 310-metre-tall The Shard in London, is poised to open on 1 February. From then on, visitors to the British capital will be able to enjoy spectacular 360-degree views that are said to extend some 60 odd kilometres outwards from the viewing platform on Level 69. It will also be possible to experience outdoor views of London and beyond from the 72nd level, from where visitors can view some of London’s most popular tourist attractions including Buckingham Palace, Tower Bridge, St Paul’s Cathedral and beyond to Windsor Castle.

Designed by internationally renowned Italian architect Renzo Piano, The Shard is a major investment in Europe by the government of Qatar.

In addition to the office space and residential units the luxury glass tower – designed to mimic irregular shards of glass – also houses a five-star 202-room Shangri-La hotel.

Dubai’s Emirates airline, renowned for its sponsorship of major international sports events, has been named as the official partner of the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games, as well as official airline of the Queen’s Baton Relay.

Emirates, one of the world’s fastest growing airlines, has a prestigious sponsorship portfolio which includes the FIFA World, Cup, the International Cricket Council, Arsenal Football Club and major horseracing and rugby events. As the Glasgow 2014 airline partner, Emirates will play a major role in taking the Glasgow 2014 Games to the global stage, as it flies to 23 Commonwealth countries.

Additionally, Emirates has secured naming rights to Emirates Arena, Glasgow’s newest world-class sporting facility which is home to the Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome that will host the Track Cycling and Badminton events in the 2014 Games.

Other sponsors for Glasgow 2014 include Dell, Search Consultancy, Toshiba TEC, A.G.Barr and RGS. dv

Dubai’s ongoing ambition to establish itself as the world’s leading aviation hub came closer to fruition with Dubai Airports phased opening the new Concourse A on January 2 this year. With this opening, Dubai Airports also stepped into the books of aviation history as it is the world’s only dedicated and purpose-built Airbus A380 facility. EK003, which departed from at 1430hrs from Dubai to Heathrow, London was the Concourse’s first flight, ushering in Dubai’s new aviation era. Concourse A is designed for the exclusive use of Emirates, the world’s largest operator of the twin-deck jumbo with 31 in service and another 59 on order.

VISION Aviation represents $22 billion (Dh80.91 billion) — or 28 per cent of Dubai’s economy — and is a major driver of the emirate’s economic growth. Built at a cost of $3billion (Dhs11 billion), Concourse A (CA) has turned out to be one of the timeliest investments that the emirate has made and is going to increase Dubai International’s passengerhandling capacity to 75 million from the current 60 million. A critical element of the $7.8 billion Strategic Plan 2020, CA will help Dubai International become the world’s biggest hub for international passengers, beating London Heathrow and Paris Charles de Gaulle.

Part of the airport's Terminal 3 complex, Concourse A has become the "home of the Emirates A380” from where passengers will connect to more than 20 Emirates A380 destinations around the world, including A380 flights to Europe on Australian airline, Qantas, which will be introduced later year, in terms of the global partnership announced recently.

Dubai International initially opened four out of the 20 available gates, with more gates being introduced every few weeks. Paul Griffiths, CEO of Dubai Airports, said: “We are opening CA in stages with more gates coming online in each successive phase. We believe

that this approach of gradual transition will enable us and all our partners to ensure smooth operations and help us to deliver on our customer service commitment.”

CONCOURSE A FOOTPRINT Concourse A (CA) covers a sprawling 528,000 square metres across 11 floors. It features 20 aircraft contact gates, all capable of accommodating the A380, in addition to 13 remote stands. With an annual handling capacity of 19 million passengers per year, CA is a fully airside structure and is connected to the two major public levels of Concourse B and Terminal 3 (T3) via an underground train system, in addition to the vehicular and Baggage Handling System (BHS) utility tunnels.

CA is also partially underground comprising the train stations - both arriving and departing. Its lower and upper levels are connected by means of a special vertical transportation system, known as Sky Lifts, which act as a focal point feature in a central atrium. The train is the first of its kind in the Middle East and offers a fast, smooth connection, via two lines, between the new A380 hub and Terminal 3.

A HUB OF INSPIRATION Bringing together world-class shopping and dining, smoother connections and spacious lounges that lead directly onto the aircraft, the concourse offers Emirates customers a seamless and unrivalled experience in terms of comfort, convenience and choice of facilities. From direct lounge boarding for First Class and Business Class customers to an expansive duty free shopping area, a Timeless Spa and the largest First Class and Business Class lounges in the world, Concourse A is vouched as Emirates new hub of inspiration.

Concourse A offers travelers an opportunity to savour the world’s best cuisine through a huge range of leading restaurants, cafés and bars - from popular family restaurants like Giraffe café, Paul and Carluccio's to the indulgent Moet & Chandon Champagne Bar. The hospitality options at CA are further complemented by the 170-room four-star and 32-room five-star hotels.

The successful opening of Concourse A is testimony to Dubai Airports and Emirates joint vision to provide an outstanding experience to passengers travelling through Dubai. In the words of His Highness Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, President of the Dubai Department of Civil Aviation, Chairman and Chief Executive, Emirates Airline and Group and Chairman of Dubai Airports, "This is an historic and momentous occasion, marking another world first from Emirates. The new A380 hub is another example of us being a leader in providing innovative products and services that give customers an unsurpassed travel experience. We are confident that our customers will find the new concourse to be a remarkable world class facility befitting of our flagship Emirates A380 aircraft. I would also like to congratulate Dubai Airports on achieving this major milestone in the development of Concourse A."

dubai airports older terminals undergo renovation in sync with the opening of new Concourses.

RefuRbishment of DXb’s teRminal 1 a major refurbishment of dubai international’s Terminal 1 is due to begin in the first quarter of this year which when complete will offer passengers a vastly improved travelling experience.

The refurbishment includes more efficient and streamlined baggage screening in the departures hall, the replacement of all check-in desks, upgrade of baggage systems and the modernisation of all public areas. The upgrade is expected to be completed by the end of next year.

The new baggage screening process will greatly improve passenger flow by eliminating a queuing point, thereby reducing the time it takes passengers to move from the forecourt in Terminal 1 to the departure gates. The additional space created by streamlined baggage process will be used to transform the departures hall into a more spacious and welcoming environment and when combined with upgraded wayfinding signage, provide a more easily accessible building for the travelling public.

The refurbishment programme also includes the reconfigured and expanded arrivals hall where all ‘meeters and greeters’ will be accommodated within a fully air-conditioned space with new food and retail outlets. The arrivals immigration hall is also being refurbished to improve passenger flow and reduce processing times for arriving passengers. The adjoining arrivals forecourt will be reconfigured to improve traffic flow and create a safer pedestrian environment for all passengers leaving the Terminal 1 arrivals hall.

Once the refurbishment of Terminal 1 is complete, it will be linked via a new elevated train system to Concourse d, which is currently under construction. Concourse d will become the new home of the more than 100 airlines that fly to and from dubai international when it opens in 2015.

With sustained passenger growth and our unique passenger profile, the case for continued growth within advertising is proven,” said Eugene barry, SVP Commercial at dubai airports.

Liquid Gold a special edition of Hennessy’s V.S.O.P. has just been issued, called Kyrios. The name means “guardian of the spirit” and “the soul of the legend”, and bMW designer Chris bangle was tasked with creating a special bottle – complete with “bras armé” logo, the inspiration for which was the iconic 1954 edition. With the scent and taste of vanilla, clove, cinnamon and grape, this is a connoisseur’s delight.

Red Alert!

When Hugo boss created Deep red for women, it instantly became an everyday wear sensation, and the same is sure to ring true for the twin scent for men. The inspiration was for a scent which pushed boundaries and the result is a contemporary blend of contrasting ingredients – full of cold and hot tensions (apparently based on the behaviour of metal!) that stimulates the wearer and leaves him feeling energised.

Guilty Pleasure

This fragrance is a powerful mix of excitement, allure and sensuality. It awakens the senses with a burst of zesty lemon, cool lavender and spicy pink pepper. as it dries down, the scent focuses on the hallmark of all Gucci fragrances, patchouli, and mingles with cedar, sandalwood and amber.

The overall effect is young and stylish; this is a bold and uncompromising fragrance that captures the essence of Gucci. The bottle fuses glass and metal, a feature revealed through Gucci’s signature interlocking “G” characters.

you’ve got to be bold to embrace the world of Gucci scents and Gucci Guilty black for women is no exception. The top notes bring a dynamic blend of pink pepper and red fruit, enclosed by floral notes of lily and violet. The base composition is warmer with patchouli and amber predominating. It’s all encased in a glossy black bottle with glowing red glass that hints pure and unadulterated seduction.

Med Muse Inspired by the Mediterranean, roberto Cavalli’s acqua is a beautiful blend of jasmine, citrus and lily of the valley scents with a fine layer of sensual musk. It’s fresh and sensual all at the same time – as is the bottle. The blue flacon pays homage to the turquoise sea and azure sky and the signature touch of animal print at the neck leaves us in no doubt of its creator’s identity. roberto Cavalli aqua eDT 75ml

World record Breaker

Katie Pattison-Hart. words Penny MccorMick

I

t’s hard to define Katie Pattison-Hart as anything other than an inspiration. Leaving behind a successful management career in banking, finance and consultancy, she decided to set herself a mental and physical challenge by rowing the Atlantic with five other novices.

It took eight months’ preparation, but the result was that Katie formed part of the fastest and first all-female team to successfully row the 4,800+ kilometres (a third of all people who have attempted this feat have failed). Katie has used this experience to challenge others to follow their dreams and overcome obstacles, and is an in–demand motivational speaker.

She believes we are all designed to succeed – and encourages everyone to think big. As for herself; she is already preparing her next challenge.

extreme environment to live in for 45 days.

Raising more than Dhs600,000 for our chosen charities and raising awareness for our cause is also part of the sense of achievement that this project brought. I'd encourage everyone to think big; the limits we have are the ones that we put on ourselves.

How did you become involved with Row for Freedom?

How do you explore a new city?

I never leave home without…

Getting out on foot and mingling with the locals.

My iPhone. It's my office!

What is the biggest misconception you’ve encountered about Dubai?

Most interesting people I’ve met on my travels…

I started freelancing to give myself some time out from the fast-paced corporate world that I had been in for 10 years. I successfully progressed up the ladder of an international bank and I was on the board of directors for a UAE-based consulting firm and I decided I wanted to devote my energy to a personal project that would involve both a mental and physical challenge. It was perfect timing when I was introduced to Julia Immonen, who founded Sport Against Trafficking and created RowForFreedom (sponsored by Dubai Duty Free in 2011).

A 40-60 day row across the Atlantic on a two hour shift system seemed to fit the bill for a physical and mental challenge that I was looking for and it also opened my eyes to the horrific crime of Human Trafficking.

The challenge and the cause have given me a new sense of purpose and we work as a community even after the event to use the power of sport to raise awareness and funds for our chosen charities.

What have been some of your most rewarding achievements either personally or professionally?

Successfully rowing across the Atlantic Ocean and gaining two world records.

Battling 15 metres waves, dealing with sleep deprivation, sea sickness, no showers and a bucket to share as a toilet was certainly an 74

How many languages do you speak?

My mother tongue is English, and I learnt basic French and a very poor amount of German from school. I've picked up some Arabic in the last seven years of being in the UAE. I think by stepping out of your comfort zone and being thrown in at the deep end we often very quickly learn to swim. I've found that when we have to we can be very resourceful.

That it’s all glitz and glam. Yes, it is but there are also fabulous little local gems that give you a nice grounded feel to the place - like fresh fish restaurants hidden in a Portakabin just set back off the beach.

Where are you going on holiday to this year?

I will be going to Portugal to visit my parents

and maybe Africa with work and I'm looking at planning another expedition which will be very exciting and give me my fix of extreme conditions and isolation!

Are you a big collector of holiday souvenirs?

I love materials and fabrics. So much creative fun can be had with them in the home and making garments.

How do you overcome jet lag?

By getting straight back into a routine of lots of water, a good night’s sleep and back to exercise.

Do you travel light?

Yes. Getting across the Atlantic with only a pair of shorts and t-shirt teaches you that you don't need a great deal in life!

The four other women I rowed the ocean with. They are all incredible and our relationships are special.

How do you relax?

In the gym, running around the marina or going to Yas island with my family. We also have a small place in Ras Al Khaimah which is a great escape. dv
