About me
My Story as a Creator & Storyteller

I am Maryem El Khalifi, a Moroccan travel content creator and tourism entrepreneur. My journey as a content creator did not begin by coincidence — it began with intention.

Intentional Beginnings

In 2019, before leaving Morocco, I already knew that storytelling through content was the path I wanted to follow. I started creating videos and sharing my journey even before arriving in Vietnam, documenting my decision to leave my country, explore Asia, and live through education, culture, and human connection.

I came to Vietnam as a volunteer English teacher, not as a tourist. Volunteering was my way to truly explore the country from inside, to understand daily life, people, and culture while continuing to create content in Arabic about my experience.

The Pandemic Pivot

When the COVID-19 pandemic changed global travel plans, my journey changed with it. Instead of moving from country to country, I made the decision to stay in Vietnam and become a resident. This period allowed me to go deeper — deeper into the culture, deeper into storytelling, and deeper into content creation.

While the world paused, I created. My videos started reaching wide audiences across the Arab world, and Vietnam slowly became familiar to many people through my storytelling.

From Viewers to Travelers

What started as personal content turned into viral content. As my reach expanded, people did not only watch — they acted. Travelers began asking how to visit Vietnam. Travel agencies started following my content and, inspired by it, began offering Vietnam packages.

With time, my audience evolved from viewers into a community, and then into clients. I transformed digital trust into real impact by launching my own tourism brand, responding directly to the demand created by my content. What began as storytelling became a tourism movement.

The Next Chapter
Dubai: A Strategic Home for Growth

After successfully transforming my digital influence into a functioning tourism business through Visit Vietnam, I realized my vision was larger than one destination. This led me to the concept of "Next Stop".

Next Stop represents the evolution of my work: moving from a destination-focused travel agency to a broader travel and storytelling platform that connects Arab travelers to the world. I established Next Stop as a certified company in Dubai, marking the beginning of my regional and global growth phase.

I chose Dubai deliberately.

Dubai is not only a global hub for tourism, media, and entrepreneurship — it is a city built on ambition, vision, and execution. It is the place where creators, founders, and innovators are supported to scale their ideas beyond borders. For someone whose journey is rooted in storytelling, travel, and real economic impact, Dubai offers the ideal ecosystem to grow responsibly and sustainably.

From Dubai, I aim to:
• Expand Arabic travel content beyond Vietnam to multiple global destinations
• Build a trusted regional travel brand serving GCC and international markets
• Collaborate with tourism boards, agencies, and creators
• Transform digital reach into structured tourism movement

My decision to apply for the UAE Golden Visa reflects a long-term commitment, not a temporary step. The Golden Visa would allow me to establish stability, scale my work, and fully integrate my creative and entrepreneurial activities within the UAE’s ecosystem.

I believe that Dubai is the best environment for creators who seek more than visibility — creators who seek impact, growth, and legacy. From this base, I want to continue building, reaching wider audiences, creating meaningful travel experiences, and contributing to the UAE’s role as a global center for innovation, tourism, and creative excellence.
