I moved to Kuwait with my family when I was just 2 years old, and I basically spent my entire childhood and teenage years there. Kuwait was the only home I ever really knew.
In 2007, I left Kuwait and moved to Australia. It's been almost 20 years now, but honestly, there's still a part of me that never left.
I can't really explain it, but Kuwait holds such a special place in my heart. The people, the streets, the food, the malls, the atmosphere, even the little everyday things I probably took for granted growing up. Sometimes I find myself randomly remembering places and moments from my childhood, and I get this overwhelming feeling of nostalgia.
Australia has been my home for nearly two decades, but whenever I think about my childhood, it's always Kuwait that comes to mind.
For those of you who've been living there since the early 2000s, I'm genuinely curious: how much has Kuwait changed since 2007?
Does it still have that same feeling? Are the old places still around? Has life changed much? And for those who remember Kuwait in the 90s and early 2000s, do you ever miss how things used to be?
I'd love to hear your memories and what Kuwait is like today.
I really hope I get to visit again someday. ❤️🇰🇼
