Hey, thanks for visiting our website! We’re Siraj and Fatima, from London and now live in Singapore. Well, I’m from London and Fatima is from Milton Keynes, and each of us agree to disagree about which city is better. But what we do agree on is that we love to travel through the earth.

We got married in December 2015 and since then have already gone to six countries, so we decided to start writing about our trips and perhaps even offer some travelling tips. Hopefully you might find it useful.

Siraj

London is great. It’s amazing and you should all visit. We’ll probably post some food recommendations too because it’s so close.

At various points, I’ve called New York, Damascus and Le Mans home but I’m excited to visit more countries around the world. My favourite trip was probably Lebanon, where we rented a car and were forced to adapt to the road almost immediately. Top tip: The first rule about driving in Lebanon is that there are no rules.

Fatima

When I’m not watching Ellen or keeping up with various hijabi bloggers, I’m scouring for where we should go next.

Before I met Siraj, I lived in Toronto and grew up in Milton Keynes and I love everything about both of them. I travelled a lot before I met him, and I’ve collected money from at least 26 countries along the way. I plan to keep adding to the collection!

So far my highlight from all our trips together was getting to roll my very own cigar in a Cuban factory. Side note: they taste disgusting.
