Thank you for your interest in Hello Raya.

I’m Soraya, the Founder and Travel Blogger at Hello Raya, a brand that focuses on luxury and boutique travel and food throughout in Australia & Southeast Asia.I was born in Australia, but I am half Swiss and half Malaysian. For more information on who I am, you can read it here.

I have been traveling the world for as long as I can remember.

I grew up living the expatriate lifestyle – living in hotels and resorts around the world, because of my Father’s career in the Hotel Industry. As such, I spent my life roaming around the world and exploring new corners of different cities.

Having spent over 20 years living and breathing the hotel industry, I have a very strong understanding of hospitality. Tie this together with my background in Digital Marketing, F&B Marketing, Travel Sales, and Events, I felt the need to share these life experiences with the world.

Hello Raya is a travel blog that focuses on travel and food within Australia & Southeast Asia.

My passion lies with travel and food, and Hello Raya is my way of sharing this passion with readers from around the world.

Through my role as a travel blogger, I wish to share honest first-hand insight and reviews with my readers, in hopes to inspire them to travel and help them make informed decisions. I also have a strong interest in photography, so all photos have been taken by either myself or my fellow travel companion.

Marketing Efforts

I spend a great deal of time and care in crafting every blog post. I ensure I have adequate information and photos before hitting ‘publish.’

The same type of care is taken in my marketing efforts. I spend a lot of care nurturing Hello Raya’s Social Media channels, including Facebook and Instagram. In addition to growing followers, I work to ensure that Hello Raya receives a strong level of engagement on each post. I am a believer that engagement is just as important (if not more) than the number of followers. A lot of thought and planning goes into each post to ensure a high level of quality and interest is maintained.

Majority of followers and engagement on Hello Raya’s website and social media channels have come through organic marketing efforts.
