After spending a full year traveling through Southeast Asia, we learned that good planning makes all the difference. Not perfection — but intention, clarity, and practical choices rooted in real experience.
On this page, we share the tools, tips, and resources that supported us along the way. From finding affordable flights and Muslim travel essentials to packing lists, trip-planning checklists, and a transparent breakdown of the costs of one year of travel. Everything here is created to help you travel confidently, stay aligned with your values, and focus on what truly matters during your journey.
Assalaamu alaykum! We are Azeddine & Eileen. In 2023 we decided to quit our jobs, pack our bags and book a one-way ticket to South East Asia. When traveling to these countries, it wasn’t always easy to find halal food, Muslim friendly activities and mosques. That’s why we’ve spent a lot of time doing research so we could start Halal Travel Asia. A blog meant to take you along on our halal-travel journey, always with respect for local cultures.
