'I moved to Dubai for luxury - the reality was very different'
Natalie Goodall, 32, was offered a golf coaching job in Dubai aged 18 after completing internships at a golf school there A British woman who relocated to Dubai has returned to the UK after years of gruelling 80-hour working weeks, claiming the glamorous city offers "no work-life balance" despite increasing numbers of Brits flocking there. Natalie Goodall, 32, was offered a golf coaching position in Dubai aged 18 after completing internships at a golf school there. She seized the opportunity - initially staying with a mate and then various relatives before securing her own flat in Damac Hills. She spent years living in the seemingly perfect and opulent city, which now houses celebrities including Amir Khan and The Beckhams. According to The Telegraph's figures, 30,000 Britons relocated to Dubai in 2021, climbing to 35,000 in 2022 and 40,000 in 2023. However, for Natalie, the Dubai way of life became overwhelming - as the city's "business model" didn't accommodate "work-life balance". Following years of enduring 80-hour, six-day working weeks, Natalie returned to the UK in 2019 and has now made her home in West Parley, Dorset. Whilst she adored Dubai and mentioned she'd return for breaks, she indicated she's doubtful about moving back permanently. As masses of Brits choose to emigrate there with lofty expectations of lavish living and non-stop entertainment, Natalie believes that Britons arriving with such high hopes "may be disappointed." Natalie, now a self-employed PGA professional, said: "I never saw myself leaving Dubai - I was working at one of the best golf schools in the world. And the city was absolutely stunning, on my day off I went down to the beach and when you let your hair down you could have a bloody good time. "But afterwards you'd look at your bank balance and think 'oh crap'. But the business model out there - there is no work-life balance. "I was coming home to my partner after 12-hour days, at 9pm, and I could barely hold a conversation because I'd be so tired. In my last year I told him 'I can't do this' - you know when your time is up. It's a very glamorous place and I can see moving there is a trend - but everywhere has its downfalls." Natalie initially travelled to Dubai at 18 for several work placements with a golf academy. At 21, she secured a permanent assistant coaching role there whilst studying for her PGA (Professional Golfers' Association) qualification to become a certified instructor. Initially, she shared accommodation with a mate from school before her mum and dad relocated there when her father, employed in the petroleum industry, received a job transfer - prompting her to move in with them. Following two years, she began renting her own flat with financial help from her parents, as she found it difficult to afford the deposit. She would spend her single weekly day off on Mondays either relaxing by the seaside or exploring Dubai's spectacular attractions to maximise her time in such magnificent surroundings. Natalie said: "It was amazing - the weather was like being in Spain even in winter. I got to see the Opera House, lots of concerts and stayed for my birthday in the Burj Al Arab hotel, which was so cool. The golf courses were unbelievable too and the food and service was amazing." At the time, she was earning the equivalent of roughly £25,000 to £30,000 annually - but Dubai's steep living costs meant she couldn't fully embrace the lavish lifestyle many people imagine. She explained: "It was not sustainable. I was just making money to survive - in the service industry you were worked very hard. I was working six days a week and I couldn't afford to reduce my hours." After meeting her fellow expat boyfriend Will Coan, 34, in 2017, the couple moved in together, but Natalie began to "spiral". She explained: "You can feel yourself, your work and time management aren't as good, your diet goes out the window. I never saw myself leaving Dubai, but it's not sustainable - as I got older, I started to think, how the bloody hell will I have a life here? It's not on an individual person - it's just the business model out there." In September 2019, she relocated from Dubai back to the UK and secured employment in Guernsey, after obtaining the necessary golf qualifications to become a coach. Nine months later, Will, who worked in a role in food manufacturing, completed his contract and returned to the UK as well. Now happily settled in West Parley, Natalie admits she'd only consider returning to Dubai, where her parents still reside, for a holiday. She insists it would take "a huge number" salary offer to tempt her back permanently. She suggests that the surge of Brits heading to Dubai for a better life might not be ready for the reality. She said: "I think there are people moving because they've been on holiday there and say 'screw it, I'll live here'. It's like a trend - in the same way Ellen DeGeneres moved to The Cotswolds. "In Dubai, it is a glamorous place, but it can be unglamorous in certain situations. You have to look at the opportunities and weigh up if it's right for you. If you go with high expectations, you might be disappointed."

I tested the new air fryer suitcase to see how practical it really is - this is how much I could fit in
There's an unusual travel essential Brits are refusing to leave behind on their holidays this summer - and no, it's not SPF or a passport wallet. According to new research, chips-obsessed Brits are taking their air fryers international – with one in five saying they've taken their favourite appliance away with them on holiday. Another one in five even claim to have removed clothes or toiletries in their suitcase just to make room for their bulky cooking gadget, while nearly a quarter of 25–34-year-olds admit to paying for extra baggage just to bring one abroad. And with 27 per cent of all Brits saying they'd take an air fryer on holiday if it were easier to transport, it's clear the kitchen staple is becoming a packing priority. Now, online electricals retailer AO has created a solution - the Frequent Fryer suitcase. The first-of-its-kind suitcase is crafted from brushed aluminium and finished with a transparent front panel perfectly moulded to fit a standard single drawer air fryer – handle and all. I was one of the first in the world to get my hands on this limited-edition suitcase, and tested it out to see just how practical it is. Spoiler alert: not in the slightest! While this suitcase may fit within airport luggage regulations, it's very clear immediately that this bulky thing is going to have to go in the hold if I'm taking it abroad. It's definitely too big to fit under the seat in front and, due to the air-fryer-shaped lid, there's no way this bad boy is getting in that overhead locker either. But the real test for this suitcase was how much I was going to be able to fit into it around the 4-litre Russell Hobbs 27160 SatisFry. Spoiler alert: not much! No matter how hard I tried, my Birkenstock sandals were an instant no-go, so I didn't even bother trying to get my trainers in. I managed to pack my pyjamas, a couple of pairs of knickers (and could probably have packed a load more) as well as two small tops, and a pair of denim shorts – just enough for two days. But when it came to my toiletries, I was forced to remove them from the clear case I always carry my minis in when I go abroad. Instead, I had to scatter them about the suitcase – risking them leaking on my clothes and, more importantly, the air fryer. It's available to buy on AO's TikTok shop from tomorrow, Tuesday 19th August, at 12pm When it came to the actual air fryer, it cooked my chips in minutes, and perfectly – and all it took was me pressing an automatic chips function on the front of the gadget. But once I wanted to pack my air fryer back in the suitcase, I quickly realised another disastrous problem with this invention – all my clothes were now about to stink of chips. I can't say I'm sold on the Frequent Fryer case – but if you really can't be without your beloved air fryer for a couple of days, you can buy one on AO's TikTok shop from tomorrow, Tuesday 19th August, at 12pm.

Woman moved to Dubai for luxury - reality was very different
Woman moved to Dubai for luxury - reality was very different Natalie Goodall was out there for years, but has now come back to the UK Natalie Goodall in Dubai (Image: Natalie Goodall/SWNS) A Brit who lived in Dubai returned to the UK after years of working 80-hour weeks said the city has "no work-life balance" despite growing numbers fleeing the UK to live there.
