Yes, I think everything in life has two aspects. Travelling has its own challenges.

I am more of a mountain person than a beach person. I travel to the Himalayas very frequently, and these areas are not widely accessible. Hence, transportation in such areas is scarce and not very comfortable, though, with time, this is gradually improving.

• I strongly condemn fast-paced travel, though I have to do it sometimes since I am not a full-time traveler. I truly prefer slow travel, to go and live at a place, indulge in local cuisines, culture and to live in homestays instead of hotels. I like to travel without a fixed itinerary and live on the edge exploring everything as it comes my way.

• Over the years, the travel industry has flourished extensively. And with that comes the havoc of commercialization of destinations. That I something I absolutely hate because as tourism to a particular place increases, humans tend to convert it into hot spots. On the contrary, I have a thing for unexplored offbeat destinations, and I have dedicated an entire section to offbeat travel on this blog. Go ahead and read more about it!!

To be honest, currently, I am not the right person to answer this question as I am still figuring out a constant income source for myself. As of now, my travel resources are limited and mostly depend on freelancing content writing projects and my part-time dental practice. I am still on the course of figuring out stuff for my masters, so I do not have any elaborate constant sources for income at the moment.

• As for my travel finances during college, I used to save every penny I used to get as my pocket money in college. I would avoid shopping, expensive lunches and dinners, and parties. Most of the pocket money I used to get in college used to go to my travel fund.

• To top up my savings, I used to take up various freelancing content writing projects on Internshala and for multiple brands such as Stemjar.

This is probably my favorite question to answer…

I am more of a gypsy travel soul who prefers budgeted travel over luxury, adventure over routine, offbeat over the mainstream, and a backpack over a suitcase. I truly believe that a not large sum of money is needed to travel but a deep-rooted passion.

• I like to travel slow, to go and live at a place, indulge in local cuisines, culture, and to live in homestays instead of hotels. I like to travel without a fixed itinerary and live on the edge and explore things as they come my way.

• I prefer mountains over beaches, and I have a thing for seraphic sunsets, starry night skies, bonfires, and cute homestays by the river banks.

Well, I have a long list of bucket list ideas lined up for the year 2020.

• To have a laid back vacation at the Gokarna Beach in Karnataka.
• Unravel the hidden mysteries of the sea with Scuba diving at Andaman and Nicobar islands.
• Explore the terrains of the winter wonderland at Lahaul and Spiti valley.
• Shake hands with the Head Hunting Tribes in Nagaland.
