It’s already almost a week into the blessed month, and alhamdulillah, praise be to Allah, we are still privileged by Him to make the most out of the month to gain His Forgiveness & Blessings. Moreover, it is also a good time to develop good habits, either in term of our manners (Akhlaq) or even our skills.  

Thinking 2015 – Wanderer Style

Year 2014 passes so fast that we are now at its tail end. It has been a year of transitions for me, professionally, emotionally, spiritually (?) and to some extent physically.

This is how it works with our family to get the proposal ‘Destination Next!’ thru:

Following the ‘Traveling Tips for Muslimah’ series, I decided to revise the name to reflect my travel style better, which consequently influence the tips and advices, and to emphasise on my aim to show to the world (that is what I hope) how liberating being a ‘Noor’ is (as one of typical name of Muslim women), not only physically, but also mentally and spiritually.
