About me

One passport. Too many stories. And I’m not done yet.

Hi, I’m Far — a full-time dreamer, part-time travel planner, and 100% certified “jalan-jalan dulu, baru fikir” kinda person from Malaysia 🇲🇾.

This blog, YourPassportStories.com, started as a digital journal — just me typing away my random thoughts in airports, in long train rides across Europe, or sipping teh tarik while editing photos of that time I got lost in Kyoto (reading map wrongly.. duhh).

But over time, something happened.

Friends started asking,

“Macam mana nak plan trip sendiri pergi Spain?”
(How do you DIY trip to Spain)

“Hotel mana best dekat Italy yang halal-friendly?”
(Do you know Italy halal-friendly hotel?)

“Boleh share itinerary Japan 10 hari yang tak penat sangat?”
(Can share Japan 10-days trip that not so tiring?)

And suddenly, I wasn’t just storytelling for fun anymore. I was helping people make their dream trips happen — the DIY, budget-aware, culture-hugging kind of trips.

Why “My Passport Stories”?

Because every stamp on my passport holds a story.
The time I laughed alone in a tiny café in Seville.
The moment I cried in Cordoba’s Mezquita, just from the beauty.
The stranger who helped me carry my bags in Osaka when I missed my train.

It’s not just about countries. It’s about connection.
And I want you to have those stories too.

So, welcome aboard!
