Welcome to our family travel blog! We’re so glad you’ve found us.
We’re a family of four — two parents, one curious kid, and our loyal dog — who made the big move from Canada to Dubai in 2024. What brought us here? New work opportunities and the excitement of a fresh chapter in one of the world’s most vibrant cities.
Dubai had always been on our radar — a place where cultures meet, where the future feels like the present, and where there’s always something new to explore. So when the opportunity came, we packed our bags (and dog treats) and made the leap.
Why This Blog?
We created this space to document and share our journey — the travel experiences, the food discoveries, and the lifestyle surprises that come with living in a new country as a family.
Here’s what you can expect:
✈️ Family travel adventures in Dubai and beyond
🍽️ Foodie finds, from local gems to international favourites
🏙️ Lifestyle recommendations — parks, events, weekend ideas, and hidden spots
Whether you’re a fellow expat, a travel-loving family, or just curious about life in the UAE, we’re here to offer honest tips, fun stories, and a look into the ups and downs of this exciting move.
First Impressions of Dubai
From striking skylines and charming cafés to desert adventures and sunsets by the sea — and now, casual backyard BBQs with family and friends — Dubai is already filling up our days with unforgettable moments.
One of our favourite parts? How easy it is to explore new places from here. Weekend escapes and spontaneous trips feel well within reach.
Closer to home, we’re loving the city’s dynamic food scene and the kind of weather that makes outdoor living part of everyday life.
We’re just getting started, and there’s so much more to come. Can’t wait to share what’s next.
Follow us @thewanderinghanns to see more of our adventures.
Until the next stop,
The Wandering Hann’s
