H is for Hello Dubai

While I am going through mixed emotions during this transition, excitement for what's to come is certainly at the top of that mix.

When RhinoCo brought this idea to me a while back it sounded very exciting but I'll admit I knew very little about Dubai. Since then I have visited one time and done extensive research and networking.

So far what I know is the ex-pat community is extensive and almost as diverse as New York City. The locals are most hospitable and so far have been super nice folks as well as very pleasant to interact with. The entire culture seems to be changing day by day while the values of the UAE stay strong in their roots in guidance of these changes.

I am told the very hot summers will require a bit of time to adjust to, if one can ever truly adjust to such heat. But my mission is clear: establish a fitness community at CrossFit Gold Box that will bring forth the RhinoCo way and my own special set of values in enriching the lives of everyone who chooses to walk through our doors.

May 4 is coming quickly and while I am cherishing each day in NYC, I can't wait to get rocking and rolling in the Middle East.
