DUBAI UNVEILED: My Honest and Unfiltered Travel Experience
Dubai’s hyped so much as a hub for entrepreneurs and the Good Life. And when I went there many months ago to visit a friend’s event, I was taken aback.
I thought I was used to metropolises, having visited the bustling New York city and all.
But Dubai can be a tad overwhelming if I’m being honest. I struggled the first few days to find peace. It really got to me how fast everyone moves and how massive everything is.
Needless to say, the architecture is absolutely incredible and the city is very clean. However, I felt like it’s somehow shallow and lacks soul and culture. Or maybe I just haven’t explored enough?
Have you been to Dubai? What do you think of the Gulf Tiger?

Tej graduated from King's’ College London with a BSc Biochemistry in 2014, he then pursued a career in Medical Education and Marketing. Soon after his second job… he was fired! A moment of relief and freedom was what he felt, not sure what his mother felt when he told her he was jobless at 23…
He then went in search of a more ethical path, a business he could set up where the reward was equal to the work put in. “If they are making pounds, why am I making pennies?” - was his thought process, not happy with slow progression and bureaucracy (& having to wear smart shoes everyday). This lead him to opening a Recruitment business (not sure where the ethics went) which doubled in profit every year, for 4 years. He hated it. Golden handcuffs they call it.
Fortunately, he used the cash he’d built up from that business, to educate himself in Property Investing. Soon, he’d stopped the business and transitioned into Property Investment full time. He then had a slow start -
Purchasing 15 properties in his first 9 months, using over £650,000 of Investor Finance, he built a £1,200,000 property portfolio and created £30,000 of profit from flips. This gave him ‘financial freedom’, but it was the most stressful period of his life. Growing quickly is very painful. He recently made £95,000 from two flips.
Let’s not forget that his Podcast grew to be the most-reviewed UK Property Podcast, peaking at 4,000 unique downloads per episode.
His Podcast (Tej Talks) now sits at 800,000 downloads in over 120 countries and has 500 reviews, rated 5/5.
