If you could spend New Year's Eve anywhere in the world, where would you go?
Hello #ladiesofhive family. I trust you had a restful weekend. I welcome and usher you into a new week of possibilities.
A deep and thoughtful review of the above topic left me battling with cities like Paris, Geneva, Baltimore, Canada, and lastly Dubai.
However, I will choose to go to Dubai. I will explain my reasons below.

I once missed an opportunity to travel to Dubai when I was working with a music/ entertainment company for a concert. Again, last two years, an exhibition took our sales team to Dubai and Egypt. The story they shared about Dubai after that exhibition kept ringing in my ears every now and then. They told me about the tallest high rise building, the mountain, the fountain, and the hotel that was built like a sailing ship.
They taunted me with that sightseeing and, at some point, told me that they just went for sightseeing, not actually the exhibition. You know that kind of feeling when you feel cheated or missing something special. Well, I am not a salesperson, so I decided not to dwell on everything they were saying because they might even be sugarcoating some things to get to me.
So, if I could spend my New Year’s Eve anywhere in the world, I would go to Dubai. I have read and heard a lot about the fascinating life there, especially during the festive seasons, the fireworks, and the buzzing of the city with tourists.
I would like to be in the Burj Khalifa to observe my countdown to the new year. Imagine the experience and the kind of fireworks I will witness. It will be a great experience; from there, I would like to visit the desert safari to spend a few moments there with the cultured wildlife.

However, I would return to the ship shaped Burj Al Arab hotel to spend a few moments alone to show gratitude to God for a smooth crossover, reflecting on the previous year’s journey, my set goals, visions, missions, and my achievements. While there, I will also draw a roadmap for the new year and plans thereof.
Furthermore, I would explore their culture and food. Would also visit some other notable places to have a fulfilling view and time around those places. I wouldn’t forget taking pictures and building relationships as I go about my stay in Dubai. Those relationships may add to my net worth in the future.

Finally, my journey to Dubai will not be a one of jamboree but one that is orchestrated towards a solitude moment of celebrations. A reflection and gratitude for my past achievements and one that ushers me into a great and new beginning of a new year.
