Rikka, 24 — Deira

Hello from Deira! I'm Rikka, Japanese, 24, and I'm completely in love with this old, busy, noisy side of Dubai, where the dhows unload on the creek and the spice souk smells like a hundred kitchens at once. I'm 165 cm, 54 kg, and I have more energy than my schedule can handle. I talk with my hands, I laugh loudly, and I get excited about tiny things, like a new ice cream flavour or a cat asleep on a pile of carpets in the souk. You can visit me at my place in Deira, which is cosy and very clean, Japanese clean, or I can head to your hotel or apartment anywhere in the city. I don't mind the drive. I'll spend it looking out of the window and inventing stories about the people in the other cars. I love wandering the gold souk without buying anything, eating grilled fish by the water and trying every bakery that opens near me. 🐟 Deira is full of little surprises if you walk slowly. I like men who are friendly, curious and relaxed, the kind who can enjoy a silly conversation and a serious one in the same evening. Grumpy moods and people who are rude to shopkeepers are not for me. Send me a message and tell me one thing you love about Dubai. I'll tell you three of mine!
