Hey, I’m Puneet S Bansal — a travel and lifestyle writer who focuses on practical, experience-driven travel planning and intentional living.
This website is built on firsthand travel experiences, real planning decisions, on-ground observations, and lessons learned while navigating destinations, budgets, and everyday travel realities — not just the highlight reel.
I started this site for people who want real travel: the early mornings, the budget wins, the cultural curveballs, and the “how did I end up here?” moments that somehow become your favorite memories. If you want to explore more of the world without losing your sanity (or savings), you’re in the right place.
How This All Started
Like most travelers, I didn’t begin with a perfect plan — just curiosity and a strong desire to step outside my comfort zone. Over time, through repeated trips, trial-and-error planning, and real-world experience, I learned how to travel smarter, spend intentionally, adapt quickly, and build a lifestyle that balances freedom with practicality.
This blog grew out of those experiences — the good, the messy, and the surprisingly useful lessons you only learn by actually being there.
What You’ll Find Here
This site focuses on practical travel and intentional living, written from a first-hand perspective. No recycled advice. No unrealistic promises.
You’ll find:
- “Travel guides focused on what actually matters on the ground”
- “Budget-friendly tips that don’t kill the experience”
- “Honest destination insights (including what’s overrated)”
- “Lifestyle content for travelers, remote workers, and curious minds”
- “Personal stories, because travel is more than logistics”
Everything here is written to help readers make better decisions before they travel — with more confidence and fewer regrets.
My Travel Philosophy
I believe:
- “You don’t need to be rich to travel well”
- “Slowing down usually leads to better experiences”
- “Local food is never optional”
- “Mistakes are part of the journey”
- “Freedom looks different for everyone — and that’s okay”
Travel isn’t about ticking places off a list. It’s about learning, adapting, and building a life that feels full — on your own terms.
