Musafir in Transit

guides, stories, and opinions from my travels

Behind the chaos

Hi, I’m Hira – a Pakistani traveler with one of the worst passports in the world, a soft spot for mountains, and a 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 some 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!

Settling down just for a little while to figure out life (read:finances) and switch my green passport for a blue one.

Next stop is Austin, USA

Bestie’s been living there for 4 years and I still haven’t visited. So that’s next!
