How Did It Start?
We both never really got to travel growing up which is why we travel so much now. Coincidentally, we both were 16 when we went for our first international trip to Bangkok and that changed our lives. That was our first taste for travel and we couldn’t get enough.
- Before – We used to explore Delhi, the lesser known places and beautiful destinations on the outskirts of Delhi, and would pinky promise that we’d be together always and travel the world hand in hand.
- After – Now, we travel to different places in and outside India, give each other space to explore places of our interests, but still make promises of travelling everywhere we can!
Our big plans of travelling the world together and finally living those dreams step by step brought us to the stage where travelling became an inseparable part of our lives. We love how travelling helps us grow as individuals and helps us look at the bigger picture in life!
Creating A Hub For The Wanderers In Us
Since our first trip together in 2015, we were capturing our experiences, yet had no place to share all that we had seen and learnt. It was only in 2016 we realised it was high time to jump on the blog bandwagon. And Wanderers Hub was born. We began publicly chronicling all our travel escapades-and it was only the beginning.
Wanderers Hub is all about sharing narratives of things we have learnt while traveling in India and abroad. It is about inspiring others to get out of their comfort zones and travel more.
A Place We Can Always Go Back To
If there is one place we’d recommend every person to, it’d be Bhutan! Although any place that accounts for its citizens Gross Domestic Happiness wins our heart right away, Bhutan reserves a special place in our hearts as a reservoir of warmth and bliss – it makes us feel complete!
Travelling With Someone Is Not Always A Fairytale
But travelling is not always glittery and smooth-sailing, especially when you and your partner have different tastes. He wants everything planned, takes care of every nitty-gritty and loves clubbing & the beach (sometimes together!).
On the other hand, I am spontaneous enough to catch a flight if woken in the middle of the night- I’d travel in my PJs!
How We Afford So Much Travelling…
Also, we are not millionaires but we know how much travelling means to us. We use all the resources available with us judiciously, opt for smart planning tactics, utilize all amazing deals at our discretion, and end up living in hotels of our dreams and traveling to all those surreal bucket list destinations. So traveling is like a rose with thorns… but the thorns are nothing compared to the charm of the rose.
…And You Can Too
Always book flights well in advance- we’d quote a 2-3 month window- to avoid last minute hikes in fares. Another is to be practical, and be ready to put in a lot of hard work!
There is always a way out when you desire something from the core of your heart. We don’t blame our finances or our hectic schedule for not travelling because according to us we don’t travel in between our work, we work in between travelling!
If you want to travel, go for it. You got to make it happen!
Our Inspiration To Travel…
What inspires us to travel the most is our insatiable appetite to be thrilled, to be awed by the wonders of nature and by things that we haven’t faced before – people, food, cultures, even different kinds of landscapes. We wish to touch, feel and experience everything there is in the world.
We never feel that we have travelled enough because it is never fulfilling to know that you have travelled a few places only when there are millions to explore!
…Can Be Your Inspiration Too
Once you start exploring the world, you tend to have a profound appreciation and obligation to see what our gorgeous planet has to offer – how there is solace in native lands also, how crazy it is to get past the language barriers and learn different cultures of the world.
So, Don’t Just Look At Travel Memories Of Someone Else, Make One For Yourself!
It is always tempting to see photos of exotic locales in a glossy magazine but to traverse across the globe and experience the place is a different ball game altogether. As long as you love what you do, spending all that extra time will not be a pain.
On your way, you will meet countless people, encounter countless stories, and forge some memorable friendships with some incredible folks from around the world- feel blessed as long as you have this, as it’s truly a luxury!
And while the sense of thrill is certainly for the more adventurous out there, remember that some adventures do turn disastrous. This one time, an innocent massage turned into an hour-long Judo match with a seemingly innocent Thai lady- it was the worst massage of our life!
So, therein lies our story. Two seekers, whose paths crossed in high school and have remained entwined since, and whose only dream is to never stop travelling!
If you want to travel, go for it. You got to make it happen!
