From Information Technology to Your Southeast Asia Guide

Nomadic Southeast Asia Moazzum

Hi, I’m Moazzum.

I write. I travel. And I’m hungry to share my love of Southeast Asia with you.

For 20 plus years, I solved complex tech problems. Now I help people solve a more exciting challenge: How to fall in love with Southeast Asia without the stress, confusion, or wasted money.

Because this region changed my life—and I believe it can change yours too..

Why I Started This

I watched too many travelers:

  • Lose money on bad advice and gear that falls apart in the tropics.
  • Miss their Southeast Asia dreams because of confusing visa information.
  • Struggle to find Muslim-friendly communities and halal resources.
  • Give up before experiencing the magic this region offers.

I knew there had to be a better way—one that shares the real Southeast Asia I’ve come to love.

What Makes Me Different

I’m not a lifestyle blogger or travel influencer. I’m an engineer who fell in love with a region and wants to help you experience it right:

  • 20-30 hours of research goes into each guide
  • Real friendships with local communities and expats keep my information current and authentic
  • Engineering mindset applied to budgets, visas, and housing
  • Regular updates because Southeast Asia evolves fast and you deserve accurate info

My Background:

  • Former Cybersecurity Technical Engineer (enterprise & startup experience).
  • Methodical researcher with attention to detail.
  • Building connections with Muslim communities and expat networks.
  • Developing (more like an aggregator) systematic approaches to Southeast Asia travel planning.

My Mission:Help 10,000 people successfully move to or travel through Southeast Asia with confidence—whether you’re a digital nomad, making Hijrah, or seeking an affordable, peaceful life abroad.

Yeah, it’s a BIG undertaking!

I’ve extensively researched all 11 countries, with personal travel experience in several key destinations. For locations I haven’t visited, I work with a network of trusted local contacts, recent travelers, and expats to verify information. Every guide undergoes rigorous fact-checking regardless.

While I don’t personally field-test every item in tropical conditions, my recommendations are based on: • Analysis of climate specifications (humidity ratings, temperature tolerances) • Extensive user reviews from actual SE Asia travelers • Manufacturer climate testing data • Input from my network of digital nomads living in the region I focus on gear *designed* for tropical conditions and vetted by users who’ve actually used it there.

All visa, cost, and regulation information is updated **monthly** through: • Monitoring official government websites • Tracking expat forum discussions • Subscriptions to local news sources • Direct feedback from readers in each country Each guide clearly shows its “Last Updated” date.

My Hijrah guides combine: • Official government immigration data • Insights from Muslim expat communities • Mosque and halal organization directories • Practical advice from those who’ve made the move I focus on verifiable information about visas, communities, and halal infrastructure.

Unlike many travel blogs that recycle old content, I: • Clearly disclose my research methods • Show when information was last verified • Distinguish between personal experience and researched information • Focus on actionable, systematic planning rather than just inspiration • Specialize in both digital nomad AND Muslim travel needs

I participate in affiliate programs (Amazon Associates, Travelpayouts) and may earn commissions when you purchase through my links. This comes at **no extra cost to you** and supports my research. I only recommend products that meet specific criteria for SE Asia travel, regardless of commission rate

Each 2,000+ word articles & guide involves:
1. **20-30 hours of research** across official sources
2. **Cross-referencing** multiple recent traveler reports
3. **Verification** with local contacts when possible
4. **Analysis** of seasonal variations and regional differences
5. **Continuous updates** based on reader feedback

My cost breakdowns come from: • Official government statistics • Recent expat budget reports • Cost-of-living databases • Reader contributions I provide clear sourcing and note when estimates are based on pre-pandemic data that may need adjustment.
