For now we travel for our pleasure but would love to travel for work as well. What could be greater if your passion and love becomes work and vice versa.

4. What is the most stunning place that you have ever visited?

London for sure. Just love this place. People, food, culture. Just everything.

5. Do you feel that blogging takes time away from your social or family life?

We are each other’s family, we work on this together, discuss ideas together. We connect on an intellectual level, so no i don’t think it takes away family time. About our social life, we go out with our friends eat good food, travel in good places and that makes up for more material for our blog, its a win win situation for us.

6. What is the one thing that is too large or impractical to travel with that you wish you could take with you when you travel?

Hahaha it has to be our refrigerator for sure, as we’ll always get to carry our comfort foods with us wherever we go.

7. Are there any countries that you would not consider visiting and why?

North Korea, as the situations there aren’t tourist friendly.

8. Do you have any funny travel stories?

On our trip to Goa, India when we were excitedly waiting at the conveyor belt for our luggage, our excitement went dull when we kept waiting at the belt and our luggage didn’t turn up. Later we started to get really worried as we thought our luggage might have been displaced or even worst “lost” but then to our amusement we realised that we were on the wrong belt all together and could see our luggage on just adjacent belt. We then laughed about it as we moved on.

9. What is the most adventurous thing you have ever done?

Well that is yet to make a place in our list.

10. What is your favorite mean of transportation (plane, train, car, ship)?

Car. We just love road trips. This mode of transport helps you explore the remote places which you can’t even imagine.
