Meet Your Hosts
About Shabana
I’ve always loved exploring new places, experiencing different cultures, and meeting people from all walks of life. But as a Muslim traveler, I realized how challenging it can be to find destinations that align with our values – whether it’s halal food or just feeling comfortable while traveling.
That’s why I started The Travel Builder, to make travel easier, more accessible, and stress-free for Muslims who want to see the world without compromise. My goal is to help people discover amazing destinations while ensuring they have everything they need for a smooth and enjoyable journey.
For me, travel isn’t just about ticking places off a list, it’s about meaningful experiences, connection, and adventure. I hope to share all that with you and more on this amazing trip!
About Nafisa
I’ve had a passion for exploring the world since childhood and have been fortunate to travel extensively over the years. I enjoy connecting with local people and experiencing different cultures, whether travelling solo or with large, multi-generational groups. As a Muslim female traveller, I’ve gained valuable experience navigating different destinations while staying true to my values.
At home, I work as a realtor with Century 21. In my spare time, I organize and take part in community events, and I enjoy hosting friends and family whenever I can. I look forward to meeting new sisters and creating meaningful travel experiences together.
