Beyond The Grid Has Gone Global: Dubai · UK · Qatar · India
Four locations. One live room. And a whole lot of lived-in travel stories.
Beyond The Grid is stepping outside borders—literally. Tomorrow, 16 December at 6:00 pm IST, Alike goes LIVE on Instagram with creators dialing in from the UK, Dubai, and Qatar, while India anchors the conversation.
This isn’t a polished highlight reel kind of live. It’s a real conversation—about travelling with family, building a creator life abroad, adapting to new cultures, and navigating the festive travel rush across regions.
Whether you’re plotting a Christmas escape, planning New Year travel, or just curious about life beyond your own grid, this one’s worth setting a reminder for.
One Conversation, Three Cities, Many Perspectives
London. Dubai. Qatar. India.Different time zones. Different realities. One shared love for travel that goes deeper than bucket lists.
Beyond The Grid LIVE brings together creators who don’t just travel—they live, work, and build stories across borders.
From school-holiday planning to UGC life in Dubai, from experiential vlogging in Qatar to thoughtful hosting that stitches it all together—this live is about travel as it really is.
