ABOUT US

We are an international family of two: Caila and Shigenobu. Our journey together began in 2013, and we’ve been inseparable ever since.

 

Since 2023, our family has grown to include our two beloved cats, whom we adopted from a shelter in Dubai. Our feline companions, Arabian Mau Fifi and Mike, have brought immense joy into our lives with their playful and affectionate nature. We chose to adopt from a shelter to support homeless animals.

Fishing is one of our favorite hobbies, and we love spending time together on fishing trips. Our proudest catches include a large tuna, a queenfish, and a grouper, each weighing nearly 20 kg! The thrill of the catch and the tranquility of being on the water make fishing an activity we cherish deeply.

 

We also have a passion for travel and exploring different cultures. Our adventures have taken us to places like Thailand, the Maldives, Turkey, and Iran, among others. We prefer the serenity of nature over the hustle and bustle of big cities but enjoy the occasional shopping spree in Dubai’s expansive malls, where we hunt for interesting products and unique items.

Food is another passion that unites us. We love trying new cuisines and dishes from around the world. Chinese and Indian cuisines are among our favorites, and we are always eager to expand our culinary horizons with new flavors and recipes.

In 2023, we launched a joint business, CHIYO GENERAL TRADING CO. L.L.C, aimed at enhancing trade relations between the Middle East, particularly the Emirates, and Asian countries such as Japan and Hong Kong.

Alongside our joint ventures, each of us pursues our individual passions. I, Daria, am the founder and author of this blog, a marketing and outreach specialist with a keen interest in UI/UX design. I created this blog from scratch and will be the main voice behind its content.

Our blog is a space where we share our family’s experiences, insights, and adventures. Stay tuned and join us on our journey!
