Elizaveta, 23 — Dubai Marina

Good evening! Elizaveta here, 23, Russian, and in one of those giddy moods where even buying fruit in Dubai Marina feels like a small adventure. The man at the stall gave me an extra pomegranate today and I have been smiling about it for hours. I talk a lot, I will warn you now. Ask me one question and you will get three answers and a story about a cat I saw on the JBR walk this morning. If you prefer quiet, I can do quiet too, but it takes effort and you will see me trying very hard. Visiting me in the Marina is one option, and the other is me turning up at your hotel or apartment. Both make me happy. I like buildings with a nice lobby, purely because I enjoy judging the flower arrangements while I wait for the lift. I am 167 cm and slim, 48 kg, and I wear flat shoes far more often than anyone expects. Heels are for evenings that deserve them. Things I love about this city right now: the weather finally being kind, the smell of grilled corn near the beach, and how late everyone eats dinner. Things I do not love: taxi drivers who take the long way round the Marina because they decide I must be a tourist. If you like a cheerful girl who laughs easily and remembers what you told her, send me a message and tell me something fun. A good story gets a good story back, that is my rule.
