EXPLORE. DREAM. DISCOVER.

There’s a certain kind of freedom that only solo travel brings — the joy of waking up with no fixed plan, following your instincts, and letting the journey shape itself. One of my most memorable solo adventures was in Udaipur, where a quiet morning stroll led me to a local artist’s home. We chatted over chai for hours, and I walked away not just with a handmade sketch, but also with a newfound sense of connection. Traveling solo helps me tune into my inner voice — and the world around me.

I believe the heart of any culture lies in its kitchen. Whether it’s slurping hot Thukpa in a tiny Ladakh café or tasting freshly made Neer Dosa in a Mangalorean home, food has always been my gateway to understanding people and places. I don’t just eat—I ask questions, peek into kitchens, and often try cooking alongside locals. Culinary exploration is where my taste buds meet storytelling.

Not every escape needs a backpack and a flight. Some of my most refreshing experiences have come from spontaneous weekend getaways. Be it a breezy drive to Alibaug or a train ride to Panchgani, I’ve learned that even 48 hours can feel like a full reset. My goal with these trips is simple: recharge, discover something new, and return with a story (or two).

Travel isn’t just about places — it’s about people, rituals, and rhythms of life. I always try to go beyond sightseeing. Whether it’s attending a traditional folk dance in Rajasthan, celebrating a harvest festival in Kerala, or spending a day with a local family in Himachal, cultural immersion makes travel deeply personal for me. It’s in those shared laughs, meals, and moments that I truly feel part of a place.
