Hello, i'm fatima!

My name is Fatima, founder and travel blogger of Hello 965. I’m a full time travel creator and I share most of my experiences on all social media channels. You can find me on instagram, snapchat, X (formerly twitter), threads, Tiktok, YouTube and Facebook. Hello 965 started 14 years ago I decided to share my trips and help friends plan theirs by giving them recommendations. 965, is Kuwait country code for dialing, and that’s where I’m from!

I’ve published two books, live between Kuwait and Dubai , own a Travel Consultancy in Kuwait and a Social Media Strategies company based in Dubai. I love active sports and enjoy the outdoors alot! 

I love life, people, and smiles. Thank you for taking the time to get to know me a little bit better 🙂  

I also run other channels:

Instagram hotels account: @hellohotelz

Instagram cuisines account: @hellocuisines

Consulting service for your next trip? That is possible too! But that will be with an additional charge and you can do it via Hello Explorer.

I also enjoy sharing my picks for products that I enjoy in my trips and lifestyle on Amazon, which can be found through my amazon pages:

Q&A Hello965

As of January 2025, I’ve been to 115/196! I’ll update this at a later stage. With that said, my goal is NOT to visit all countries around the world. I keep a personal count for myself which encourages me to aim to see more/what I haven’t seen yet!

Yes! I organize 1 or 2 trips per year for the public to join me! I’ve previously done Croatia, Tanzania, Argentina, Finland, Oman, Socotra Island, Japan and others. I sometime repeat destinations I enjoy like Finland! I do announce these trips on my social media channels and my travel consultancy website helloexplorer.com

Yes that is also possible. I could organize a trip for a group of friends, a couple, or a family group and join them based on their request to help them facilitate the process during their trip and coordinate on their behalf. However, its cost-efficient to plan a local guide to join the groups activities rather than myself tagging along on the trip (depending on the size of the group!)

Please email me your work, and where you’d like to share it whether on the blog (An article), or images on my social media platforms. [email protected]

I am open to a variety of collaborations, including brand sponsorships, promotional videos, snapchat takeovers, product reviews, social media ads and more. Please reach out to me with an allocated budget/proposal and we can discuss further. 

Well, this is still a very hard question to answer. Every time I’m asked, a hundred places come to mind..

I wanted to have this question dynamic. So here’s the deal, i’ll update it whenever I come across it, and have a story to share. Deal?

Right now, I’m updating this in Finland. Particularly in Rovaniemi. I just finished an amazing group trip (females only) and had the most amazing time with them in Levi and Rovaniemi. I will be flying back to Kuwait soon!

I’m living in Kuwait and part time in Dubai. I own a business in Kuwait and started a business in Dubai. I find the two very appealing for having a home and creating a beautiful business network. I do work and often between the two during the year.
