Musafir means 'traveler' in Urdu, Arabic and Persian. To me it's more than a word. It's deciding to trade my California suburban life for a nomadic one. It's choosing to be content with less. It's allowing myself to slow down. It's pushing myself beyond my comfort zone. It's being present for the moments, big and small, that make up life. It's strangers showing me that the world is full of good, kind and loving humans. I've been traveling the world full time with my husband and kids for almost two years, and I'd love to share my experience with you. Join me on my journey to live intentionally, explore new cultures and find new meanings for home, all over the world.

Why should we watch this video ,seeing your face,is Pakistan on your face,where are foods ?.100% idiotic video. You should know you are a low class street cloth.
He is talking about Islamabad as a place to live for expats and non tax residents. Yes it does not have the public transport or many amenities but it is still a great place to live for anybody who has a stead and secure stream of income elsewhere in west. For example, a customer of our company who was born and raised in London and has 2 daughters of age 10 and 12 , packed up and moved to Islamabad 4 years ago and has not been back to the best of my knowledge. Expats live in sticks of Spain, Turkey and even Russia or not so developed areas of eastern Europe. When you start comparing the amenities , infrastructure and finer details, nobody should be living in eastern Europe of Balkan countries and yet the trend is visible. So I will dare say that the comparison you are making is very basic and very surface. VIBE FOR DAYS is not and should not be a criteria. Not everybody is looking for an urban jungle and a place of rat race with a lot happening. So i'll say Hijab is right and you are not.
I agree that Karachi is a confusing city. It has a lot of amenities if you have money. If you can adore to live in emmar towers or bharia town you will have a filtered Karachi experience and will frankly love it. Similar to speaking to two people from LA. One lives in skid row, the other in Beverly Hills. Depending on who you talk too, you’ll get there experiential opinion.
Nice sharing. Thanks. 3 questions re soon ho e visa : 1. Does this visa pave path for permanent residence or does one has to move out after 5 or 10 years? 2. Can we deposit the amount in USD and take it back in USD or does it need to be converted to IDR? 3. Can we really buy property on our name or will it be lease?. Thanks
Aapne apni eyebrows nuchwaa li? Do you know what Allah has said in Quran about females who pluck their eyebrows? You will burn in hell for an eternity...and then some. 😂😂😂
Quite excellent the way you have describe your experiences in months that you have been here or still ongoing......selective & wisely worded but those who lived here get the drift, there's more unspoken that can't be mention or said. Despite all that, there's those advantages when & if you can afford to navigate living a lifestyle as you please. A lot of people who has financial strait issues won't be able to tolerate that unless no option 😅. I enjoyed watching your clip & hope to see more. Being frank & mildly polite blunt in stating your experience here is quite amusing as I'm sure there's more, except we need to abide with courtesy in stepping on others shoes. 🥰💞👍
Sister Karachi is the biggest city of Pakistan 🇵🇰 and Karachi the only city who generate lot of tax and it’s our business hub because sea port is in Karachi but you have problem because you came from the city of USA 🇺🇸 where everything developed and well maintained Unfortunately Karachi hold by Sindh government and they just looted the revenue of Karachi never put one percent of that revenue in Karachi that’s why Karachi heights facing many problems here like road bridges electricity issue and security issue but thanks Allah now our new generation doing well they are educated and know well about the entire world by using internet social media awareness opened their eyes 🙏 I think in future Karachi will be the best city of Pakistan and their credit goes to our educated Karachi heights ❤
I moved to US 20 years ago from Lahore. I usually visit Lahore and Islamabad at least once a year. I have spent 10 years in north east ( NYC), 6 years in Midwest in 6000 sq feet house and a lavish house in west coast at the movement so I can see the difference , between different cities and neighborhoods. First of all you should never ever compare any developing nation with a developed nation. Almost every single point she is trying to make is just B.S. She has probably not visited different countries and their big capital cities. Islamabad is 100 times better than any Asian or African capital and even from many European cities ( ever far better than Paris which is really garbage place- hated my 1 week trip over there). Some neighborhoods of DC/Virginia ( just few blocks from white -house are really filthy and crime hub). Perhaps, I would only agree with her one point which is an issue of "beggars' on street which is very annoying sometimes and common in Pakistan, all due to rampant poverty. Smelling of gaanda nala was because you choose to stay at some stinky and shity place? they are not rich nation to cover any sewage place. There is really no smog or pollution in Islamabad.
Sister used Hijab's name just to say something pointless honestly I believe, he was an honourable guest and he appreciated something he liked and also your thumbnail say's (Hijab is wrong about Pakistan) but he is clearly talking about just Islamabad.
i was born and raised in Doha, Qatar and moved back to Pakistan at the age of 22 and now im 26, let me tell you Pakistan has way more to offer compared to the gulf. (i cant compare it to the west since ive never been there) i don't know your personal life, experience or your background but im guessing that has alot to do with your opinion about ISB. maybe don't make such sweeping statements with such confidence as they make you less credible. having experienced both, my life in Qatar was what would most call perfect, it was luxurious, there were no apparent problem, every small thing was taken care of by the company my dad worked for, and when i say everything i mean everything, but i realized it was a bubble and it made me and my siblings weak and over sheltered, then when i moved to pak and started my own business i was exposed to so much here, there is so much diversity in pakistan and so many things you need to take care of, i felt alive. Pakistan helped me see the real face of life and im much happier living in pak and i have realized there is so much opportunity in Pakistan and you can do so much here if you stop making excuses and just work hard. there are so many nuances which i cant go into here but TLDR Pakistan was a better experience compared to gulf (for me....)
i thought she had some views and ideas that differed from Muhammad Hijab but what i got was an opinion on Islamabad like really comparing any other city to islamabad
Seriously Detroit and Beverly hills? Sister I couldn't see this anymore because most respectfully you're out of your mind. Islamabad has its issues but is has tons of pluses too. It's a perfectly decent city of you can afford. One of our top bosses based in Virginia seriously considered moving here a few years back. I'm just shocked knowing Detroit has been trashed over the decades. And that's only comparison you could find. Very terrible way to think.
Hijab was right actually ... Islamabad is a very safe and beautiful city. I have been living here for the last 6 years. Karachi is not livible city TBH. If you love peace, beauty, modernism. Then welcome to Islamabad.
So basically you just wrote Mohd. Hijab's name and then end up dissing Islamabad. Everyone has their own views, for people who love greenery, they always vouch for Islamabad and for the ones who like historical places/food etc. usually vouch for Lahore. Every city has its own qualities.
that was one big steaming pile of horse sit. I can not believe a person can have so much confidence that to record and post online with zero logic and sense.
Wild that people can make recommendations like this. Hijab was referring to those performing Hijra - Islamabad is categorically the best option in Pakistan unless you have family ties to the other cities, but even then it’s debatable whether those other cities would be more suitable. And for south Asians the language and cultural alignment trumps Dubai. Love that the nature of Islamabad is completely written off because, and I’m assuming here, you can’t take get the quality of Insta pics for social media clout. 400kms to Lahore from Islamabad too, not difficult. Plus if you want history, Rawalpindi is on Islamabad’s doorstep.
While parts of Pakistan ste nice. As a British Pakistani, you couldn't pay me to live there. I was the most patriotic person, but it's a laughable state. Full of corruption, failed state. They lock up politicians for nothing, fake voting system wake up Pakistanis. Proud of what!
After 34 years of living in Canada, I have moved to Pakistan Lahore. I have been here for 1.5 years, I feel I'm aging a lot faster, pollution is too much, food is very unhygienic, food handlers do not know anything about hygiene . I do not eat out. I don't like Karachi either. I need some suggestions. I'm thinking of moving to abbotabad.
Totally disagree for recommending Karachi over Islamabad. I'm sure you left countless people like me speechless. I've lived in Karachi for over two years and in Islamabad for nearly a year and believe me I wouldn't dream of recommending Karachi to anyone, let alone someone moving from a western country to Pakistan.
Remember that this dunya is a prison for the believer and heaven for the nonbeliever. The akhirah is jannah for the believer and jahannam for the nonbeliever. So a true believer would choose Karachi over Islamabad so that he/she can suffer more in this dunya
Sister is wrong for showing a pretty face with makeup. This is haraam! She should wear a niqab and an abaya, that is the sunnah halal way! Otherwise she will go to Jahannam!
@@johnkonde1975yet you still clicked on the video and you’re calling her pretty. Your intentions are loud and clear. Yeah she shouldn’t put her beauty out into the world but you saying she’ll go to hell for it is crazy. You the judge? Also a sunnah is not mandatory.
I watched the whole video and still couldnt figure out which point of Muhammad Hijab is wrong All youre talking about is that Lahore is good (irrelevant), Islamabad is boring (so are you), there are monkeys (🤦♂)... What else? Islamabad rhymes with "Islam is bad", thats why Muhammad Hijab is wrong?
what you're saying is haraam, kashif! remember that this dunya is prison for the believer and heaven for the nonbeliever. Thus its better for believers to stay in Karachi so we can suffer more in this dunya!
When I was younger I thought the same about Islamabad and then I moved to the US. Now though, I would not mind a calmer cleaner city with hiking in the mountains. I'd rather have that over Karachi or Lahore but I do understand that for you its a sleepy city because it kind of is for a socialite or someone wanting city glitz. Dubai .. ha. They can keep it. A fake soulless ding dong flashy city. Absolutely no interest in places like that. Completely not organic.
well i think he did say that he was talking about the city which is most suitable for living ( quality of life) any other city of pakistan does NOT have the same quality as islamabad
Thanks for the information. I would love to see a video about what life is like at Emaar as we have a condo being built there and we are debating whether to sell it or live there.
I am from Karachi, please dont come to Karachi anyone. You will struggle with basic necessities here trust me. No gas, no light, no water etc womens are not safe here. crimes rates are increasing daily. Islamabad is far better in terms of these things. Beach is not the only thing you need. Your whole entire family could get harrass, and there is no law and order here. someone can rob your house, and If you go to police, they will ask thousands of money and do nothing
so you're saying the sister is lying? she is enjoying immensely in Emaar. She even said in previous video she gets fresh meat daily delivered. There are great places to live in Karachi like Emaar and Bahria town
Wa alaykum as Salam, I haven't been to Peshawar but I visited Lahore briefly and as a tourist I loved it! I most definitely would not want to live there for a number of reasons, the main one being the air pollution, but the saying that "Lahore Lahore hai" is absolutely true. It's a unique city with amazing history and very good food.
