notes from the road
Welcome to my little chaotic corner of the internet — home to the good, the bad, and the “I probably should’ve known better” moments from years of traveling on the wrong passport.
Behind the chaos
Hi, I’m Hira — a Pakistani traveler with a stubborn passport, a soft spot for mountains, and a long track record of questionable decisions that somehow make great stories.
I write about what it means to move through the world as a woman of color, the logistics of slow travel in misrepresented places, and the joy of going offbeat (sometimes accidentally). You’ll find destination guides, travel logistics, cultural commentary, and stories I probably shouldn’t tell on the internet — all grounded in firsthand experience, not clickbait.
You can learn more on the about page, or get in touch if you want to talk travel — I genuinely love hearing from people who read this blog.

Keep up with my travels
Settling down just for a little while to figure out life (read:finances) and switch my green passport for a blue one.
While I’m in Canada, might as well explore their epic mountains.
