Together with their two children, Nadine, five, and Seth, six, the couple will be travelling through Malaysia, Thailand, Laos, China, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Azerbaijan, and Georgia before reaching Turkey.
Mohammad is self-employed and will continue to run his photography business while Mastura left her job as an educational therapist. The couple told AsiaOne they love travelling and going on road trips in campervans, and they have been planning for this adventure over the last decade.
