About

Travel for me, is a way in and a way out. It has allowed me to pick my pieces in peace. I am Divya Hasti, my love for solo travelling has taken me to remote corners of the country, seeking stories of people and places from roads less taken. With stories shared on this blog, I hope for you to experience the world that’s out there, and discover the joy of meaningful travel.

Also, I am a Chartered Accountant. I enjoy reading and writing too. Out of the many hats I have donned, ‘the one who travels’, will remain my favourite one.
