Born in Kuala Lumpur, Suzai Dathul Ezaidah Bt Sukarjo, popularly known on social media as Sizzling Suzai, was a mechanical engineering student at International Islamic University Malaysia and now a full time engineer. During her spare time, she actively blogs on her own site called www.sizzlingsuzai. com, documenting her passion and experiences in travel.

She first travelled back in 2012 when she started to earn her own income and she never stopped since. Her first destinations were Jakarta and Bandung in Indonesia, and her first travel buddy was her beloved mother, whom she gets into disagreements but always travel together! To Suzai personally, travel is a kind of therapy that makes her happy, builds her character and changes the way she looks and deals with life!
