Meet Raghav, - The Adventurous Wanderer 🌍
Hailing from Bangalore. Travelling and exploring places with a passion for adventure.
Biking as a passion
Biking is my ultimate adventure. Over almost a decade, I've ridden over 3 and a half lakh kilometers, exploring the vast landscapes across India.From group trips to flying solo, I’ve done it all. 90% of my trips are about venturing off the beaten path. Those hidden gems fuel my wanderlust.
Journey to UAE & Thailand
My journey began with solo adventures in the UAE and Thailand. Dubai was my first adventure. The Future Museum and the Mobility stall at the 2020 Expo were mesmerizing.
How do I choose travel destinations?
I choose destinations based on interests, using YouTube and fellow travelers’ recommendations. TripIt is my travel planning companion, mapping out every detail.
How to find the best deals on flights?
When it comes to booking flights, I’m a pro at finding the best deals.
-
Incognito mode,
-
Price comparisons,
-
And clever use of credit card discounts ensures I always get the best value.
Where I am travelling next?
While I’m open to exploring anywhere, Peru’s Machu Picchu holds a special place in my heart, a place where history and adventure converge, sitting right at the top of my bucket list.
Cheer!

Introducing @bookishfoodietravellers, the dynamic travel couple bloggers! 🌍💑
Shraddha, the dentist, and Yogesh, the engineer, combine their passions for travel, books, and food to create thrilling adventures.
Number of countries traveled:
We've explored six countries outside India, most before our content creation journey began. Just a year ago, we took content creation seriously, transforming our travel passion into curated experiences. Our recent adventures took us to Maldives and Vietnam.
How do we plan our travels?
I (Shraddha) enjoy researching and planning, and with Yogesh by my side, we set out on this exciting journey. I prefer reading about travel experiences from blogs and articles rather than watching videos.
Booking International Flights: ✈️
For flights, we rely on Skyscanner or Google Flights. From my experience, booking at least two months in advance secures reasonable rates.
A word of advice to fellow explorers
Discover the true essence of a place beyond Instagram spots. Research, find your vibe, and embrace what you genuinely enjoy. Whether a serene getaway or a bustling city, travel on your terms and make unforgettable memories.
Next on our itinerary?
Japan and Korea top our travel bucket list! We can’t wait to embark on these exciting journeys of discovery!

Say hello to Akshay Mittal,
a software engineer with a passion for travel! He's been to 10 countries so far, including the USA, UAE, Singapore, Spain, France, Netherlands, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, and Vatican City. 🌍✈️
Here are @aky.mtl’s top tips for budget-savvy travel:
Smart Planning:
My secret to successful travel? Start early! Book flights and accommodations months in advance for better rates. Use search engines like Skyscanner and Momondo for deals, and always hunt for coupons.
Accommodation Strategy:
Choose hotels or Airbnb depending on your trip. Airbnb, with its kitchens for budget-friendly meals, is my go-to for cost-effective flexibility.
Budget Travel Rules:
Public transportation is often your best friend. Opt for day passes or travel cards to simplify costs and take the guesswork out of commuting.
Attraction Savings:
Invest in attraction passes to explore more at a lower cost. Companies like Go City or CityPASS are fantastic options.
Transformative Travel:
Travel broadened my horizons, teaching me to appreciate diverse cultures and languages. Learning a few words in the local language can open doors.
Future Dreams:
My ultimate dream? Witnessing the Northern Lights, the Aurora Borealis. A cruise in Canada or the Nordic countries is on the horizon.

Hey adventurers! 🤓
I'm Sumin Pillai.
I went solo traveling in Europe for 6 months, starting from Spain, moving through Portugal, and spending a good 3.5 months in France. Did a 10-day trek in the Pyrenees, carried my own food, walking around different parts of France. Set up my tent wherever I felt like, just going with the flow for those 10 days.
The weather got pretty tough during the trek. I expected -10 degrees, but it got even colder, like -25 degrees up north.
Best part? Making friends with locals in France. We did some wrestling and ended up on this spontaneous drive from Toulouse to Carcassonne for lunch and castle hopping.
Met some cool folks who shared coffee, cakes, and stories. Dealt with language stuff in rural places using signs and basic talk.
And food, oh man! Tried local dishes, from frogs to pigeon meat. Loved this French dish called “Cassoulet” with beans, duck, and sausage.
Looking back, traveling made me more easygoing. Now, I’m cool with changes in my life, seeing them as chances to grow. Good times!

Hi, I'm Bhavesh Sadhnani,
a business consultant by day and an avid traveler and food blogger by heart. My story isn’t just about the destinations; it’s about the unexpected adventures and the flavors that linger.
Imagine a night in Vietnam, 3 AM at a local bar. My friends and I, caught in a fix as every card gets declined – except my Niyo Global card. A moment of panic turned into laughter, and I became the unexpected hero of the night!
But my adventures are not all about close calls. They are about immersing in cultures, like the time I savored a Thai curry in Vietnam, so authentic and flavorful. Or that exciting moment in Dubai, sliding down a glass slide from the 53rd floor of the Address Sky View Hotel, the city’s lights twinkling like stars beneath me.
Travel for me is an escape, a way to break free from the routine, to explore, to taste, and to live fully. As I set my sights on Australia next, I’m ready for new adventures, new flavors, and unforgettable memories.
Every trip, every bite, every heart-stopping moment – that’s my story. Let’s keep exploring, one journey at a time.
