Chasing Dreams in Dubai: Tighe Dixon

Tighe Dixon is originally from Dublin in Ireland, and growing up didn't always have it easy. He came from a family that, although loving, had problems with alcohol and drug addiction. As a child he would go in and out of prison visiting his father and other relatives, often wondering why life was like this. When it came time for him to forge his own path in life he looked around and wondered would his fate be the same. But instead, he decided he was going to be the one to make a change and break the cycle. With mounting frustration and anger, he knew he needed to get away and make a fresh start. So with that, he packed his bags and moved to Dubai where he lives today, selling and renting real estate in a booming market. But on top of this, Tighe wanted to do something to encourage others who find themselves in family or community situations that are unhealthy, and so started uploading videos about his life to social media. Already he has over 17,000 followers on Instagram where he tries to spread hope and positivity. Here is his story.
