About Me

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.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Embarked on a 'Discover India' journey. Wanderlust took us across India on our modest Hyundai Santro car and kept us on the road for four months. The India road trip has been till date the most enriching experience of our lives.
