The Foreigner Who Keeps Coming Back
Travel has always been my escape from the rat race — and honestly, I enjoy the planning almost as much as being there. Researching destinations, mapping routes, finding that perfect spot. One of my best friends told me I needed to get a passport and see the world. I'd never left the country.
India hit me different. The first time I stepped into the chaos of Old Delhi — the spice markets, the rickshaws weaving through impossibly narrow lanes, the call to prayer echoing over the rooftops — I knew this was a place that would keep pulling me back.
Since then I've explored Rajasthan's desert forts, Varanasi's ancient ghats, Kerala's backwaters, Goa's beaches, and the tech-city energy of Bangalore. Every trip reveals a new layer of this incredible country.
I'm not a travel blogger. I work in healthcare IT. But India keeps pulling me back, and I finally decided to put everything I've learned into something useful — a site with real local knowledge, honest prices, video content from the places I've actually been, and an AI trip planner that builds itineraries from real experience.
It's the resource I talked about building years ago. It just took this long to figure out how.
