CHIANG MAI CHRONICLES: THE BEST OF NORTHERN THAILAND
"If you don't like Thailand, you are mental."
A friend said those exact words to me. I was debating where to go next and though Thailand was high up on the list for a long time, I hesitated as the temperatures were expected to be 30+ degrees. Personally, I prefer "comfortable" temperatures, below 25.

EXPLORING THE PHILIPPINES WITH LOCALS FOR A WEEK
How did I end up in the Philippines, you ask?
A girl that I had met in real life through mutual friends, told me, "Come meet me in the Philippines, I'll show you my country."

MAKING THE MOST OF UZBEKISTAN IN ONE WEEK
I can see Uzbekistan being one of the next hot tourist destinations in the next few years. If you haven't heard of it, it is one of the cheapest and most affordable places you can visit. Uzbekistan is in Central Asia. From Toronto, the best route would be via Istanbul with Turkish Airlines. Now you're probably wondering, how did I end up there, out of all places?
THE ROAD TO KYRGYZSTAN FROM UZBEKISTAN
This time, I only went for a short trip. Mainly, it was to visit my friend. I stayed two nights in Tashkent, before making my way to Kyrgyzstan, a country that's been high on my list for a while now. Kyrgyzstan is any nature lover's dream!
THE ESSENTIAL HALAL FOOD GUIDE TO SOUTH KOREA
One of the most surprising halal-friendly destinations for me was South Korea. Depending on where you are in the country, halal food may not be widely available, but there are still some options everywhere you go.
CULINARY GUIDE TO UZBEKISTAN: A WORLD OF FLAVOURS

A 24-HOUR LAYOVER GUIDE TO QATAR
I purposely opted for a long layover, so that I can go out to explore..
Little did I know that the 22 hours I would spend in Qatar would result in me falling in love with the place.
As I was tight on time, I tried my best to maximize my time in Doha.
I left the airport and went straight to my hotel, where I dropped off my bags, took a shower, prayed, and freshened up after my 12-hour flight. Shortly after, I went out for dinner.

HAJJ DIARIES AND WHAT TO EXPECT ON THIS JOURNEY OF A LIFETIME
One of the tips I would suggest to anyone going to Hajj is to remember that people are coming from all over the world. It is not a vacation. It is a journey you need to prepare for.
EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT UMRAH IN THE BLESSED MONTH OF RAMADAN
Once you have experienced Umrah in Ramadan, there is no going back. Visiting the Holy Land at any other time of the year will feel different. It almost feels as if there is a missing puzzle piece. As much as I hate big crowds, performing Umrah in Ramadan was one of the best experiences I ever had, despite the journey not being easy.
RAMADAN IN KUWAIT: A JOURNEY TO TRADITION
As I was already in Saudi Arabia, I thought, why not fly over to Kuwait, since it's not too far. I booked a one-way ticket, as I had no idea what to expect and/or how many days I would want to spend, given that it is quite expensive, and at the time, very hot out.
