CONNECTOR.AE 3 Welcome The start of the first month of the year always encourages a lot of us to make some changes to our lives with new year resolutions. These vary from person to person, and include anything from lifestyle changes, to health and fitness goals. A key focus is always diet and this time year people often consider incorporating a more vegetarian based diet into their lives, whether for health reasons or to do their bitt for nature and the environment. Vegetarian food does not have to mean boring and bland food, the opposite in fact, and with more and more people adopting a vegetarian diet, either partially or fully, restaurants are also supporting this, and eating out now offers a lot more choice. Dubai has an abundance of restaurants offering tasty, plant based meals, and on pages 15 to 19, Connector has curated selection of just some of the ones to visit. For youngsters, this time of year sees a number of students who are close to leaving the end of their high school and secondary years, making choices in their higher education, whether continuing here at the growing number fo universities in the UAE, or moving abroad to continue their studies. On pages 28 to 31, Connector has highlighted some tips and advice on what to look out for and what students should consider when choosing where to spend the next 3 or more years. But that’s not all, there’s much more within these pages. Relax and enjoy reading, just as we relished putting it all together. Wishing you a fantastic month ahead, filled with joy and exploration. Enjoy the issue!
