Hi, I am Chinmay, and I really hope to inspire, and help, you to travel!
Travel, for me, is a way to go back to first principles. I think what I love the most about travelling is how one has to figure out everything from scratch - where all to go, how to go, how to optimise for preferences, time and money, how to learn from other’s mistakes - revealing so much about the world, about others and about oneself.
Another thing I love about travelling is it opens one’s mind to possibilities. It is amazing how different, and similar, people and things are across geographies!
After 5 years of short and long trips, solo and in groups, I finally decided to share my experiences here - the research I did and the learnings from the trips.
As for an introduction about me, I am 33 years old, born in Udaipur, brought up in Delhi. I studied in Kanpur, spent a year in Mumbai, lived in Bangalore for 8 years (with multiple long work-cations in between). Currently, I live in Goa, building a Transformation Retreat on a hill next to the sea.
I am always up to discuss anything about travel - your or mine. Feel free to reach out and I would love to hear from you! You can contact me here:

Happy travels!
In 2026, on one of my trips, I slipped on algae and had an unfortunate Straddle injury, which ruptured my urethra. I had to get multiple surgeries over 4 months. Sharing my experience in detail as a Urethral Recovery Handbook, for the benefit of anyone else who might be going through the same.
