Dutch Nomad Family Adventures

Dutch Nomad Family Adventures. Dubai in the United Arabic Emirates is a fantastic holiday destination. The Dutch Nomad Family visited the Middle East for the first time. Cultural and architectural a whole new experience and we all loved it!

The Burj Khalifa is the tallest building in the world. Your kids will never forget this one! It is 829 meters high. The elevator brought us to the observation deck on the 124th floor at 456 meters within 1 minute! And when the doors open: Wow, you are on top of the world, the city, teeny tiny cars, the sea and the desert around Dubai. Isis and Thijs were fascinated to see all the construction projects going-on and were amazed that it’s all built on desert sand.

Being at the right time at the right place, in front of the Burj Khalifa at sunset there are spectacular dancing fountains and light show. Illuminated by 6,600 lights and 25 colored projectors, it is 275 meter long and shoots water up to 150 meter into the air accompanied by a range of classical to contemporary Arabic and world music. That was impressive.

The aquarium in the Dubai Mall, the largest mall of the world, was definitely worth the visit. It is really big and there is also an underwater zoo. There was a King Crocodile, weighing a whopping 750 kilograms and measuring over 5m in length. Its head alone is more than 150 kilograms! And we never can get enough of seeing Nemo.

Isis and Thijs also visited the Atlantis Waterpark on the Palm Island. The aquarium is really beautiful. The waterpark is awesome as well but we ran out of time. Palm Island is an experience on it’s own. And the kids remember vividly seeing the only 7 star hotel Burj Al Arab. Tom and Inge spent a full day in the Burj al Arab hotel and that was an absolutely awesome experience on all fronts.

Ski Dubai is and indoor ski center for skiing, snowboarding and a penguin encounter.
It is fantastic for kids to meet the penguins and they are able to feed them. They like fish and that’s what they get at Ski Dubai. There is two types op penguins, the Gentoo and the King penguin. Gentoo penguins are the third largest penguins, with a height of 60 to 75 centimeter. The King penguin is bigger, 94 centimeter. Ski Dubai is fun for the whole family.

In the old part of town, we strolled over the spice souk and gold souk. The quantity of gold and all its formations blew us away. The sellers are very friendly to kids and it’s a great place to buy your souvenirs. And then we made a boat trip over the Dubai Creek to a traditional Arabic restaurant, with sunset over the Creek.

A Gold class (first class) ticket in the Metro allowed us to sit in the first cabin of the metro, with a huge front window to see the whole skyline of Dubai in front of us and passing by as we travelled back from the old part of town to Al Barsha. The metro ride was an experience in itself.

Dubai also has Kidszania, an all time favorite for Isis and Thijs. Children can try around 50 different professions and get trained to use the equipment and to follow the instructions. Whether it’s to be a surgeon, a driver, a pilot or a kitchen chef. Look around for Kidszania in each big city in Asia; the concept is fantastic.

Enjoy your journey of life, crazy nomadism!

What better way to start a brand new week than reflecting on the good that came your way.
I was given a full week of extraordinary amazing experiences and can summarise the Easter Holiday in one word:

ABUNDANCE..!!!
Thinking about all the positive energy that came my way and trying to “understand” what happend, I realize it is the outcome of connecting to my true self and making my values and what I want to contribute to the world very clear. Focusing on who I want to be and directly start acting, thinking and living that way.

And don’t think I’m floating around now, being all zen and ultra calm and understanding towards every human being all the time!

I’m human, I get tired, have ego that needs to be handled and run a military regime in the morning getting 2 kids ready for school, while 2 dogs and a husband are asking for some caring love and attention at the same time.

So what made me feel abundance?

I met some pretty amazing people this week. What makes them amazing to me, was determined in the first few seconds I met them.
Positive energy, big smiles and the joy of wanting to interact with other humans and learn from one another.
This is pretty special if you take into account these encounters took place in an intercultural setting here in Bali. Regardless of skin colour, religious believe, social hierarchy (still very much alive in Bali’s culture and day to day life), we talked, learned, shared knowledge, had fun and did crazy stuff. We worked hard, we surrendered to what came to us this week and where giving tons of love in every way possible.
Because love comes in many forms, like I just described. It even started pouring over Luh Padmi via Facebook after I put up a post of her reading Tom’s palm.
Do you realise what that did to her?
You gave back to a beautiful human who has dedicated her life to giving to others. You gave her energy, by sharing your respect and love for her with the world.
And by doing so you didn’t only give her a good feeling, no you did something bigger! You contributed to her healing power and mission in life.
You gave some of your positive energy to her, and she will use it to help others! Did you realise this?
I didn’t realise I was giving to others huge amount of energy and life force to take the first step in finding and getting started on fulfilling there life purpose with the little I know.
I just share what I know and have recently learned with others. I share my journey. I share my life. I share my questions. I share where I buy my healthy food. I share which cookbooks I use. I share how I arrange my travels. I share my worries and fears, to understand them and transform them into positive actions. I share where I love to eat and practice yoga. I share my experiences. I share what I believe in. I share the people, food, knowledge, everything with you.
Because there is enough for everyone…. Abundance.
So I invite you to share your love in any form this week. Doesn’t matter if it’s big or small. If it’s within your household or openly to the world. Let your believe in Abundance make a contribution.
I would love to hear what you did, how you felt and what the effect was! Please share in the comments below.
And if you are wondering where I get my inspiration, motivation, knowledge and who are my guides and mentors keep your eyes open open in the next few weeks, because I will be revealing some awesome things.

Enjoy your journey of life, crazy nomadism!

Warm greeting from Bali Villa Bloom,
Inge, Tom, Isis and Thijs aka the Dutch Nomad Family
