In this lively and heartfelt episode, I’m joined by three spirited young Irish women – Erin Rose Kane, Marie Clancy, and Roisin McGinley – who swapped the green fields of Ireland for the golden sands of Abu Dhabi nearly two years ago. Now well into their teaching careers abroad, they share what it’s really like to live and work in the UAE – the fun, the fears, the friendships, and of course, the football.

For anyone contemplating teaching in the Middle East, this is your sign. It’s an honest chat about taking a leap of faith, building confidence, finding your tribe far from home, and embracing the magic that comes when you step out of your comfort zone.
