Meet Your Hosts
Shabana Patel
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!
