I have collected some of the important facts to know beforehand about this tournament and the final...

My friends and people I know in my network are always asking me about where to go in Dubai, so that’s why I am making My Dubai Guides, which are lists of MY favorite places in Dubai. The first two are located in DIFC where I used to live and where many of the restaurants and clubs are located. The next two are in Dubai Marina and the last ones are in different locations. My new favorite restaurant in Dubai...
My friends and people I know in my network are always asking me about where to go in Dubai, so that’s why I am making My Dubai Guides, which are lists of MY favorite places in Dubai. I love Asian food so I figured I would start with this category and my favorite high-end restaurants and further down the cheaper options for a casual dinner. OKKU is probably my favorite, maybe I am biased because I know the owner and I...
What do you get when you mix the lovely scenery of the Danish beaches, happy sun-kissed Scandinavians and beach polo? Well you get absolute fabulousness and I cannot contain my excitement for this event. From the 23rd to the 25th of July 6 international teams will be competing in the first ever Beach Polo Event in Denmark. I know that normally you wouldn’t associate Denmark with wonderful summer and a beach polo event, but this is just a well-kept secret....
We are almost half-way through the Dubai Gold Cup and it has been very exciting, 4 out of the 12 matches played so far have gone in to Over Time. Especially Sunday’s match between UAE and Abu Dhabi had a surprising twist at the end. By the end of the 4th chukker UAE was behind with 3 goals, they managed to even it out in the 5th chukker and went in to OT where their star player 9-goaler Lucas Monteverde...
It is said that polo is the king of sports and the sport of kings. It most certainly is the king of sports, but nowadays you don’t need to have blue blood to play and enjoy the sport. Polo is one of the best spectator sports, in my opinion at least, as it combines a powerful and exciting game with beautiful surroundings a light atmosphere and an excellent social setting. As there are many pauses in the game, during play...
From the mountains in Switzerland to the beaches in Miami and the deserts of Dubai, polo is played everywhere and all the time! The sport of kings is played in more than 80 countries around the world. There are different types of polo adapting to the climate, so you have regular grass polo, which essentially is the “original” type of polo, then you have arena polo, which can be played inside a hall making it easier for players who live...
People often ask me about how it came to be that I went from studying marketing in Copenhagen to suddenly soaring the skies in a red hat, so I figured I would write a post about it. In 2012 I embarked on my life’s biggest journey, I joined Emirates Airlines and moved to Dubai. It was probably one of the best decisions I have made so far. My 2 years with the company taught me so much about the world,...
Rio de Janeiro, Marbella, Copenhagen, Buenos Aires and Dubai don’t seem to have anything to do with each other, but they do have one thing in common, to me at least, I have called all of those places home. I grew up all over and my family is scattered around the world, so naturally when I applied for a job as cabin crew with Emirates in 2012 nobody was surprised. I was bitten by the travelbug in my early years and the wanderlust...
Tuesday the 13th of January it was announced that the Swiss private bank Julius Bär will be the title sponsor of the Dubai Polo Gold Cup, which will be held from the 23rd of February and the final match will be played on the 13th of March 2015. Last year the title sponsor was Bentley Dubai. This is only one of many changes that have been made to the Dubai Polo Gold Cup since last year’s cup. The first change...
Polo is for many known as “The Sport of Kings and the King of Sports”. For others it’s known from that scene in the movie “Pretty Woman”, and for some as the famous clothing brand from Ralph Lauren and a t-shirt with a collar. Horse Polo is said to be one of the oldest team sports in the world, signs of the sport have been found in ancient Persian records from around 2500 years ago, where they called the sport “Chaughan”. However...
I fell in love with polo when I was in Buenos Aires submerging myself in to the Porteño culture. I went to BA as an exchange student whilst studying my Bachelor’s degree and I wanted the full experience, so in between wine tastings and asados I encountered and fell in love with the sport of kings, which is played the best by the Argentinians and specifically the ones on the field that first week of December. I attended the semi-finals...
