There’s something irresistibly free about the open roads—the sheer rush of an open horizon, the ability to take side roads, sometimes offroads and the possibility of unplanned discoveries. Road trips are not so much a means of getting from one place to another but an experience in itself, a way to experience landscapes, cultures, and narratives that reveal themselves mile by mile. From legendary routes of New Zealand, Kyrgyzstan, or Spain to the Scenic routes weaving through the heart of Madhya Pradesh, the sun-kissed shores of Goa, and the lush landscapes of Karnataka these journeys have given me a true sense of freedom. It’s about the stories created along the way—the people met, the challenges conquered, and the serendipitous moments that make every trip unique.
