Summary

Living in Pakistan – The Reality w/ Isa Hussain

This episode is one I've been SO excited about! I sat down with Isa Hussain (@isa_unscripted), a UK-born, Pakistan-raised content creator who's shaking up the internet with his raw, hilarious, and eye-opening content about life in Pakistan.

Isa’s mission? To break the myths about Pakistan and show Western-born Pakistanis (and Muslims in general) that moving back "home" isn’t just possible, it might actually be the best decision you ever make.

In this episode, we dive deep into:

✅ Isa’s journey from the UK to Pakistan – how his dad saw the future and made a bold move 20 years ago
✅ The biggest myths about moving to Pakistan (Is it safe? What about WiFi? Can you actually live comfortably?)
✅ The REAL cost of living in Pakistan vs. the UK (this one will shock you)
✅ Why he believes Muslims in the West should consider making Hijra to Muslim countries
✅ How Isa’s first-ever Instagram video went viral, launching his mission to change perceptions about Pakistan

If you’ve ever thought about moving back to Pakistan – or just want to hear an inspiring story from someone who’s making an impact – this one’s for you!
