More about Mohamed Hassan

Mohamed was born and raised in the Maldives, where he enjoyed a simple life surrounded by the ocean's beauty. He always had a knack for technology, which led him to pursue a career in software development. Seeking better opportunities, he moved to Toronto with his wife, Aishath, who works as a registered nurse. They have a son named Ibrahim. While Mohamed enjoys his work, he misses the laid-back island life and the warmth of his family back home.

This Explorers Travel Highlights

  • My Travel Highlight

    Snorkeling in the Maldives with my son, Ibrahim. Seeing his eyes light up as he discovered the underwater world was an unforgettable experience.

    The Maldives, my homeland. It's where my roots are, and no matter where I go, it always feels like coming home. The sense of peace and connection I feel there is unparalleled.

  • Best Hotel

    Four Seasons Landaa Giraavaru, Maldives. The overwater bungalows, the impeccable service, and the commitment to sustainability made it an exceptional stay.

  • My Adventurous Destination

    Visiting the Amazon rainforest in Brazil. The sheer density of life and the raw, untamed nature of the place pushed me out of my comfort zone.

  • My Food Destination

    Italy, especially the Tuscany region. The fresh pasta, the olive oil, the wine – every meal was a celebration of simple, high-quality ingredients.
