Hi! My name is Ajitesh Singaria and I’ve been travelling through different cities on a Shoestring Budget.
Battling a Travel Addiction From an Early Age
For as long as I can remember I’ve been obsessed with the idea of travel. I was always that person who was forever daydreaming of foreign lands and unfamiliar cultures; coming up with travel itineraries that would challenge my perceptions and help me gain a deeper understanding of the world. During every spare moment, you’d find me browsing guidebooks and researching faraway lands. I was convinced I’d never have the opportunity to visit them.
When I was sixteen, I decided that it was time for me to leave and start exploring . I didn’t even have confirmed train tickets and I set on to an unknown journey. I was always happiest whenever I was exploring somewhere new.
I had never been away from home on my own, and never had a holiday that lasted for more than two weeks. And anyway, wasn’t travel crazy-expensive?
Over the next five years, I’d spend each year counting down to my next holiday and then as soon as I arrived, dread returning home.
Study > Work > Travel > Repeat
I didn’t have a huge amount of money or savings when I decided I wanted to see the world — there are no rich relatives funding my adventures. Instead, for the next five years, I made travel my priority. Whenever I wanted to buy something new, I’d equate every rupee to an extra day and then suddenly, I didn’t want that new jacket or new Iphone so much anymore. I didn’t eat out at mealtimes and I didn’t buy anything I didn’t need.
Hence started this blog as I also wanted to document my life as to something to look back at in the future. And also to inculcate the idea of travel in the maximum lives of people that I touch. No matter how hard life gets you can still travel if I can you definitely can.
And so on I started my journey to places with only one dream to live every corner of the EARTH.
