About The Author

Hi, I’m Nurul—a Malaysian-born, Singapore-based travel blogger and digital nomad. For the past five years, I’ve been creating content while exploring destinations across Asia, Australia, and beyond.

When I’m not documenting my travels, I help brands and solopreneurs (like financial advisors, property agents, and small business owners) grow online through content strategy, social media management, and website development.

Through my blog Explore to Makan, I share practical tips for fellow digital nomads and Muslim travelers—making it easier for you to work online, travel affordably, and immerse yourself in local cultures.
