Today, we have the pleasure of interviewing a Travel Content Creator who recently received a silver play button from Youtube and got his channel officially verified. He is none other than Mohammad Mahfuzur Rahman Mukul who is known as ‘Bangali Babu’ on Youtube.
Mahfuzur Rahman Mukul: Thank you for having me! I’m excited to be here. I’m an occasional Travel Content Creator. Along with my job at the Country’s Largest ICT company Smart Technologies (BD) Ltd., I run a travel-focused YouTube channel and other social media platforms where I share my adventures, trips, and experiences from around the world.
Q: That sounds amazing! What inspired you to become a Travel Content Creator? Was there a specific moment or experience that sparked this idea?
Mahfuzur Rahman Mukul: Travel has always been my passion. Exploring new places, meeting different cultures, and experiencing diverse landscapes have been transformative for me. Initially, I used to document my trips through photos and journals, but as social media grew, I realized the power of sharing my experiences with a broader audience. It was when I received positive feedback and messages from people who found my content helpful that I realized I could turn this passion into a good travel content platform and help people by sharing my experiences.
Q: That’s fantastic! It’s incredible how social media has opened up new opportunities for creators like you. What do you aim to achieve through your content? Is there a particular message or theme you want to convey to your viewers?
Mahfuzur Rahman Mukul: Absolutely! My primary goal is to inspire and educate my audience. I want to show them that the world is a beautiful place with countless opportunities to explore and learn. I hope my content encourages people to step out of their comfort zones, embrace diversity, and develop a deeper appreciation for our planet and its people. Additionally, I focus on responsible travel practices, such as being environmentally conscious and supporting local communities.
Q: Responsible travel is indeed essential in today’s world. Can you share a memorable travel experience that has left a lasting impact on you, and perhaps, influenced your content creation?
Mahfuzur Rahman Mukul: One of the most impactful experiences I had was during a visit to a remote village in Thailand. We somehow got stuck there at very late night. We were asking for help. The locals welcomed us with open arms, and I was amazed by their resilience and simplicity of life. I realized how travel can bridge cultural gaps and bring people closer together. This encounter inspired me to use my platform to promote cultural exchange, break stereotypes, and highlight the beauty of lesser-known destinations.
Q: That sounds like a transformative experience. You are a busy corporate person. What are some difficulties you’re encountering, and how do you overcome them?
Mahfuzur Rahman Mukul: Of course, I manage my time according to the situation. Definitely, the job is my first priority. I target specific seasons for my traveling. Accordingly, I plan my calendar of travel content. Sometimes, due to the heavy pressure of my job, my editing gets hampered and the continuation of content uploading comes under challenges. But, I am used to managing both as per situation keeping the job on priority.
Q: Adaptability is certainly a valuable skill for a Travel Content Creator. On a lighter note, what are some of your favorite destinations you’ve explored so far, and are there any dream destinations you’d love to visit in the future?
Mahfuzur Rahman Mukul: Oh, there are so many favorite destinations! I absolutely loved exploring the breathtaking landscapes of Kashmir, the rich cultural practice of Bhutan, and the vibrant life of Thailand. Each place has its unique charm and left a lasting impression on me.
As for dream destinations, I have a long bucket list! Exploring the heritage sights in Turkey, experiencing the culture of Gentlemen in New Zealand, and immersing myself in the diverse wildlife of Kenya are among the top ones. I hope to bring my audience along on these dream adventures in the future.
Q: Your travel experiences sound incredible, and I’m sure your audience will be thrilled to follow you on those dream adventures. Finally, what advice do you have for aspiring Travel Content Creators who want to embark on a similar journey?
Mahfuzur Rahman Mukul: My advice would be to be authentic and passionate about your content. Find your unique voice and style that sets you apart from others. Stay true to your values and focus on creating content that inspires and resonates with your audience.
Consistency is key, so stay committed to producing high-quality content regularly. Also, engage with your audience and build a genuine connection with them. Lastly, remember that success doesn’t happen overnight. It takes time, effort, and dedication, so be patient and keep pushing forward.
Q: Those are valuable tips for anyone starting out on their content creation journey. Thank you so much for sharing your insights and experiences with us today. We wish you continued success of team Bangali Babu and content creation!
