CURRENT MISSION To seek inspiration for long term (frugal) travelling. A couple who believes that travel is the best form of education. Tautik: India road trip in 2007 was the defining moment - realised that the world is so much bigger than life in a cubicle. Tautik now works toward creating sustainable livelihood solutions for the non-profit sector. Baking and running marathons are his other passions. Rohini: Finds joy in the small things of life. A people person, she finds her mojo in human relationships. Rohini is an Apparel professional and is currently sold on the idea of 'minimalism'. PHILOSOPHY The world is a book and those who do not travel read only a page Note: Sorry, but we do not accept friend requests from people we haven't met physically.
