Chandni A., Travel Blogger @Globetrotting365Days
Travel consultant to Corporates and travel writer. Interestingly, my tryst with discovering new places began as early as when I was 20. For me everything comes from my highs of seeing new places, living and waking up to new sunrises. Traveling not like a tourist, but like a wanderer is what makes my travels different, while others seek security and confidence booking their trips with a tour, I prefer crafting my own travels. Having travelled to 25 different countries, I am your go-to person when you want to discover unknown countries/cities as a local and visit the touristy cities in a non-touristy way. Any country in the world you plan to go to, I can help you with the best travel itineraries and things to do!
If you are a family, couple or even traveling solo I can definitely help you chalk out the most constructive itinerary and include some undiscovered and very off beat places.
