Anam Hakeem Traveler


Anam has been traveling for years now and that’s only been possible because she saves. "Separate savings the moment you get your paycheck, convert them to dollars, keep them away. Also, be ambitious, work smart, aim to earn better. Travelling is expensive, and currency fluctuations make it even more so."
One travel hack she discovered is, "get a foldable water bottle. You'll never have to buy expensive water at the airport."
For solo women travelers, the world can seem daunting, but Anam says you have to be smart about navigating your way. "Research on neighborhoods. I was in Uganda and one night I didn't want to head out alone for dinner to a certain area so I asked a hostel mate to come with. We had a great conversation and I didn't have to walk alone."
Taking photos as a solo traveler is a challenge, she admits, but she frames the shot and then asks strangers to take the photo. "Rest is the magic of editing. I'm a self-taught Lightroom user."
