About Me

Hi there, welcome to my blog. I am a married solo female traveler from India. Read More

After spending eight years as a legal advisor in electricity sector, I bid adieu to my full-time corporate career and happily embraced the adventurous ride of a freelancer. Since then I ticked off many items from my bucket list – from finishing an Ironman 70.3 triathlon to six months of solo backpacking trip to South East Asia. I have a never-ending affair with adventure sports, mountains, outdoor life, and sarees. I’ve come a long way since I dared to live my life beyond the usual, and now I share my experiences to inspire you to get out of your comfort zone and explore life. Hop on and enjoy the ride!
