Musafir in Transit

Part travelogue, part field notes, part trial and error.

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.

Over the past 7+ years, I’ve slow-traveled through 20+ countries across four continents.

I write about navigating the world as a woman of colour, the logistics of slow travel in misrepresented places, and the joy of going offbeat (sometimes accidentally). Expect destination guides, cultural commentary, and stories I probably shouldn’t tell on the internet.

You can read the full story, or get in touch – I genuinely love hearing from people who read this blog!
