Mini bio
How it started.
Shakir comes from Iritty in Kerala’s Kannur district. In July 2018, he hitchhiked from Kerala to Kathmandu, accepting lifts from motorcyclists and truck drivers. His account of the trip focused on the strangers who helped him and the village life he encountered.
Finding his audience.
Before travel became his work, he had been a supermarket salesman in Dubai. Budget journeys to Nepal and Singapore helped build Mallu Traveler’s audience. In 2020, his videos from a COVID-19 isolation ward in Kannur brought wider attention. By September that year, his YouTube channel had passed one million subscribers.
Life on the road.
His Kerala-to-Europe journey featured a TVS Apache called Amina. More recently, his Goldwing series has followed motorcycle travel across Europe, alongside local Kerala rides and bike reviews. He also sang on the 2021 music video Unstoppable Mallu Traveler and joined Manju Warrier for a bike-ride promotion for ChathurMukham.
