Hi, I am Reet! 

I’m Reet, a high school student based in Dubai with a strong interest in economics, business, and geography. Living in a city shaped by migration made me curious about how place influences people’s work, choices, and opportunities. This project began as a way to listen to real immigrant stories and understand how geography impacts economic life. I enjoy speaking with people from different backgrounds and learning from their experiences. As a certified scuba diver, I’m naturally curious about environments and how humans adapt to them. My vision is to document simple, real insights that show how location shapes livelihoods in a global city like Dubai.
