Travel Vlogger Extraordinaire
The spark that ignited his journey into travel vlogging was a video he stumbled upon while preparing for the CAT examination, showcasing the possibility of traveling without a substantial budget. This led him to embark on a 105-day tour of Thailand, having borrowed funds from a friend and gained the consent of his parents. He reflects on this transformative experience, stating, “My plan was never to make YouTube videos or become a vlogger. It was just a way to travel while making some money from it.”
His distinctive approach to exploration sets him apart. He refrains from extensive pre-research of his destinations, opting instead for a more spontaneous approach. In his own words, “I hitchhike and couchsurf my way through all my travels. I have hitchhiked more than 25,000 km in the past two years. I don’t do cinematic shots like other travel vloggers, but focus on showing people raw footage that they wouldn’t otherwise see.”
