Yes, I will in Bahrain in 4 days time!!! (4 days ahead of schedule!)
For those of you confused as to where I actually live and why do I advertise that I am based in Bahrain yet I am not living there yet, let me explain further.........
My fiance Rob and I moved out to the Gulf 18 months ago, we settled in to our apartment and I came over to Riyadh where I have been working for a Saudi Elite Family as their Health Coach. Riyadh is only a 40 minute flight away from Bahrain so I have been able to commute back and forth when I had time off. I call Bahrain my base and Rob and I will be married next year and plan to stay for the next 4-5 years.
Bahrain is also very special to me as I went to school over 20 years ago (St Christophers & Bahrain International School) I also came and worked for three years in the 90's and can't believe that this is my third expat adventure out here.
We did contemplate Dubai,(and may consider it in the future) but at this point it is too fast paced, traffic is horrendous and Bahrain suits us with its friendly, small island feel.
Certainly, the Gulf is the place for us as Rob's work (Engineer) is setting him up for a number of years and I am excited to be introducing alternative healthy living to the Expats and locals.
I would love to get a similar Organic food store set up in Bahrain such as the Organic food and cafe in Dubai. If anyone is interested, please contact me to discuss further.
Well, I look forward to meeting all of my new cyber contacts and start training in the New Year.
Hope you are all getting ready for the festive season..............



Hi Samantha,
My girlfriend and I are currently working in the UK, but hope to be in Bahrain within the next 12-18 months. I'm contacting you with regard to the Organic Food and Cafe idea you spoke of. I work in marketing, my girlfriend in sales and photography and despite both very much enjoying a large glass of red wine, we do consider ourselves pretty health-conscious. It's certainly an area that interests us both, and depending on your time-line, we would be interested in collaborating where possible. If you are interested in taken this forward please feel free to drop me an email at sebm@wolfstarconsultancy.com.
Cheers,
Sebastian

Looking forward to welcoming you and your girlfriend to the Gulf!
