Hi, Welcome to my blog. My Name is Faisal Habib I live in Dubai with my previous business partner and childhood friend (Abdullah Hussain). He started his travel goals almost ten years ago. His experience and knowledge of the places encouraged me to work on my travel bucket list. So, I began in 2014 we have traveled to many destinations and maintained a travel blog (www.tfortraveller.com) and YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/c/tfortraveller). My goal is to travel to at least two new countries a year and record our journeys, documenting the experiences and creating content to capture our moments on the road, describe the food I try, and the encounters I have during our time abroad. Traveling is a new way of leading a life. A new kind of creative expression that gives you a new kind of satisfying feeling.
