About us
We are a family of five. We love to take the opportunity to travel whenever we can, whereever we can.
When we got married in 2014, neither of us expected our life to be what it is now. In the first couple of years of our marriage, we have travelled to nine countries. During our first pregnancy, we went on a seven week trip and had some unforgettable experiences across Africa, Middle East and Europe. Our love for travelling continued to grow and we haven’t stopped since. So far, we have covered over seventy countries.
The purpose of our website is to document our travels as a Muslim family, trying to travel on a reasonable budget, while holding down a stable job. We do not travel full time and we understand that it is not a possibility for many families. But we want to showcase what we do as it might be helpful information for others wanting to do the same.
Here’s a little bit about each of us:
Mohammad – The mastermind of our travels. His passion is to find the most efficient and budget friendly way to travel. He is the one who researches into and manages credit cards and points, books our flights and stays. If it paid enough he would do this for a living.
Lamia – Mum of three, a primary school teacher and an aspiring author. I am going to do the bulk of the writing here. I take my travels one day at a time and soak in all the experiences I can get. My philosophy is – raising kids is the same whether it is at home or on a camp in Kyrgistan – so why not choose the latter if given the opportunity.
Maryam – The eldest. She loves swimming, playing with her little sisters, being creative in many ways and editing photos on her parents’ phones. She might be our future instagram manager.
Asiyah – The middle child with all the class middle child characteristics! She is head strong, has an infectious laugh and a heart full of love.
Zahra – The latest addition to our family, and she fit right in! She fills our lives with smiles, little crawls and cuddles.
