ABOUT ME
I'm Varun.
I am a full-time traveller now (yes, I quit my job to follow my dreams). I love solo travelling & meeting people. After travelling extensively in Incredible India for years, I stepped out of my country and realised, how beautiful the world is! I started making travel web series in Hindi full of travel tips and tricks, especially for budget travel and sustainable tourism. My dream is to inspire people to explore this beautiful world and learn the best things to make our world a better place to live in. I was awarded the prestigious 'National Tourism Award' by the Government of India for my contributions in the field of promotion of Tourism. Thanks to my viewers, I now get invitations from across the globe to visit their places and show them to the world.

There's only a certain level upto which a common citizen can contribute to reducing pollution. The cities need better pavements and footpaths with grass coverings so as to prevent dust from mixing with the air. The cities also need dustbins which are regularly cleaned and maintained by the authorities which requires funding that only a government can provide.

[@mohitarorasocool]

A lot of countries are becoming "Mini India" these days. Unfortunately, a lot of Indians in foreign countries are illegal immigrants and this is making travel for genuine Indian travellers very hard. The countries in Eastern Europe already dislike having Indian tourists. Same thing is now building upon in Western Europe. We are exploiting South East Asian countries so much (I personally saw so many young Indians looking for cooking and cleaning jobs in Cambodia, they were there on tourist visa on arrival). If the trend continues, one day South East Asian countries will also close their doors for Indian travellers.

@@wandererinwonder6977 I think it doesn't help point fingers at one another as you might find that many of those people are actually great at what they do and they might have gotten those opportunities on merit basis. But what we can do is improve our country's infrastructure and opportunities so that we can provide what these people seek within our own country.

The last statement is so important and that what makes a country safe. Most GCC countries are strict with implementing the law. People don’t fear doing wrong, instead they fear the consequences of doing wrong that eliminates the thought of doing wrong. Any form of crime is immediately dealt with by the law enforcement authorities and verdict does not take more than a week. Wish you many more safe travels.
