Danielle Hall: Banking, Teaching, and Building Safe Spaces for Women in the Dubai

In this episode of the Rebel Agent Podcast, I sit down with Danielle Hall, founder of Co-Living Legends Dubai, to talk about her inspiring journey from banking and teaching in the UK to creating a thriving, female-focused co-living business in Dubai. Danielle shares how she became an accidental landlord, why she saw a gap in the UAE housing market, and how she built a trusted brand that offers professional women not just accommodation, but a sense of safety, community, and belonging. If you want to learn about entrepreneurship, property investment, or the co-living trend in Dubai and the wider UAE, this episode is for you.
