India is a beautiful country and we wish to live in each corner and corridor of this enthralling heaven. We want to live in this country and experience life as is – sans the facade.

e doing this on a budget.We say it is a crazy idea. It’s been on our dream list, and we had the guts to ask why not! The Plan is challenging and daunting for our age and wisdom. But we are ready to learn and grow on the way (literally)! We believe that travelling should be more accessible to all, irrespective of their stature or gender. As we begin our journey to travel across India, we intend to journal our trips to make it easier for any reader to travel across this country on a budget.

“There is a season for wildness and a season for settledness, and this is neither. This season is about becoming. Don't lose yourself at happy hour, but don't lose yourself on the corporate ladder, either.”
