They say, “Jobs fill your pockets and adventures fill your soul”. I don’t believe that. I am an ardent believer of the quote written by Eleanor Roosevelt that says, “The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams”.
Travelling is a beautiful dream for me. I have travelled to 29 countries and I refuse to be called a tourist. I don’t visit places for mere sightseeing. I like to explore a city and experience its culture. I like to blend in rather than striking out. I am a curious travel geek who always carries his travel guide by Lonely Planet to read and learn about the culture of these places. Every country I have travelled to has left a unique impression on my mind. Travelling to these many places has shaped me into the person I am today and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
Solo travelling is a soulful experience and I want to take you all through this journey with me to explore the world. Hope you enjoy it!
