If there is no passion in your life, then have you really lived? Find your passion, whatever it may be. Become it, and let it become you and you will find great things happen FOR you, TO you and BECAUSE of you.” – T. Alan Armstrong
Hello, There !!
Thank you so much for your interest in knowing more about us. The shenanigans running the show behind ” The Tales of a Traveler “
The Tales of a Traveler is one of the Top Luxury Travel & Lifestyle blogs in India. We aspire to inspire people to step out and explore the beautiful world.
On our blog, we share the best of luxury stay, offbeat locations, food finds, weekend getaways, restaurant reviews, and travel tips to plan your vacations having a full-time job.
We are software engineer duo, one works as an SAP Consultant in MNC company and other is an Informatica Architect in an American Investment Bank. One who has traveled all her life and other who has just started traveling. One who wants to quit her job the moment she finds her wings and other is just madly in love with his job as much as travel. But we both share a common passion for traveling which gives us an immense high.
We wish to visit as many countries as we can in our lifetime, learn new languages, get accustomed to different cultures, try different cuisines, meet new people, and make friends on the go.
We save all our hard earned money to travel the world apart from occasional sponsored trips ( All thanks to our travel blog ). We love to splurge on finer things in life, pamper ourselves at luxurious resorts and spa, take detours, live like locals and visit less touristy and offbeat destinations. We aspire to inspire people to blaze their own trail.
In the last three years, we have managed to travel to 16 international destinations (and numerous cities, towns, and places of India. If you are planning a vacation to any of the places we’ve visited, we would be more than happy to help you plan your itinerary.
