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, because of whom now I get invitations from across the globe to visit their places and show them to the world.

Tom is the Dada ji we’ve been missing in today’s world. Absolute respect to him and to you too!

[@anjanashok9586]

Best video of volunteering.... hats off to u

[@shashanksrs]

Mr.Tom said it really well, "If you got something you really like, share it." He is a fantastic man! Loved the episode and the beautiful green covered place.

I am not interested in studying from last 10 years but now when I see varun sir all travel web series I want to study more and more then earn some money and explore the world thanks varun sir. You are inspiration of millions people

[@udayrm]

Your volunteering in USA reminds me the volunteering (in farm and hostel) you had done in Kyrgyzstan. You are simply awesome varun .... I always admire your simplicity .... it pays off well ..... 🤗. The efforts you have taken to put hinglish subtitles are absolutely praiseworthy 👏

[@cevihings]

Garden rake is like a garden plough...thanks to Tom I learnt too

[@GlobalCitizenUK]

Okay! So Tom is super knowledgeable too. He not only displayed concern about fossil fuel and its effects, but also mentioned about Fuel Cell, which would last a TREE years. Clean energy Fuel Cell (e.g. Hydrogen Fuel Cell) is an advance concept, and TREE is a very large number in advanced Mathematics, an enormous number beyond our ability to express with written notation, beyond what we could even begin to comprehend. This idea comes from Kruskal's Tree Theorem. Hats off to this grandpa.

[@nuhorizon2666]

Lovely vlog!!! Aptly complimented by background music! Enjoyed thoroughly but this got over so soon...dhyan bhang ho gaya.. feels like wanna watch the next episode right now in loop.

[@viksit7509]

Varun sir's US series always delights me !! The first one being all hitch hiking one!! Second one yet to discover!! Excited! 😬❤️

[@Anonymous-cs9ny]

your each and every video teaches us something and gives a positive vibe... love u varun bhai..... may be ur the only one who is showing us that how beautiful this world can be out of all negativities.........

[@sweetgirl-wm5sy]

Lets be part of this beautiful world..by contributing our share!!!

[@sangitabhattacharya.745]

Good Morning, it's indeed true that the happiest people are not those getting more,but those giving more... volunteering is such a good concept, where we learn a lot, we give a lot. we help out other people and at the same time we grow. There's always things to learn...the free WiFi facilities or the automated traffic systems, and the bike riding roads are something like small steps or changes which can make a bigger impact on a country, and it's people. Thank you for sharing many great things..I think we can all learn something form this, and implement in our life. Take care, stay safe...

[@9999205447]

So true

[@Biswakosh]

Well said.

[@imchinmoy18]

There is a lot to learn from this video and from you. Tom is an amazing person!!

[@SK-xw4gu]

Hi Varun: Excellent job volunteering and learning something new. You are always trying different things and showing us the world too. Love it.

[@hungrysoul5546]

"If you've got something that you really like, share it. Don't keep it to yourself." This is truly an amazing thought. I would love to try out volunteering on my next trip to northern parts of India. Thank you for promoting this great concept.

[@mohtasibanwar1993]

The best part "cycling through the woods" thank you for sharing it with us

[@NiK-li8qi]

The way your confidence and communication skills are there it makes anyone to get stick till end of the video to watch it and also what next you will talk always excited to watch it..

[@shivendra1802]

Tom is a man with clarity of thoughts🤗🤗

[@neerajbhagat4123]

You're very lucky to learn new skills and also meet many beautiful souls. Tom sure was modest!

[@lakshyagangwar4342]

so tom is a wonderful guy! i'm impressed by his knowledge about fuel cells (its the concept of a small amount of nuclear fuel which can powerup a car for several years :P)

[@kuljeetsinghsamra7626]

The thing which I like about you is you always keep learning something new loved that quality loved the video especially it's thumbnail too😄❤️👍

[@anshulsharma4465]

Felt that sukoon and lived the days, which your video showed. Truly an amazing one. And Tom, u r an amazing guy...!! :)

[@ranajoysau9732]

Trained Mistiri :):):) What a kind gentleman Mr. Tom is! Wow...Great start to the series...

[@AdityaBanerjeeadibands]

Hey Varun, your videos are very refreshing. Like the fact, that you speak normally, no show off or nothing flashy. Keep it up. You are doing good.

[@ashishsharma3164]

Mr Tom Sir is amazing personality ! You are blessed to spent good quality time with him. Good going Varun bhai ! Live Long ! Stay Safe !

[@sweetgirl-wm5sy]

The best life advice comes from an old man...living somewhere in the woods...with a bright sense of humour and cheerful smile in life...My take from Tom is ...work hard,keep yourself busy ,smile hard and make every one smile harder. Good to share your experiences while volunteering ...it will boost the energy of travellers ,to travel with a more open mind and healthy perception to travel far lands without being concerned about money in pocket. Surely, this kind of place is somewhere ....we all should spent time ,to learn life is about loosing yourself in the wild...to come close to yourself...with limited resources. Absolutely a place to be!!! "To share what you have" is the quote for mankind ....where...we help other to come and be with us!!! Your countryside vlogs are always close to me ..they never fail to motivate me .. to know myself more while loosing myself in this silence!!!

[@wakeuproy]

The place looks awesome, completely covered with trees in and out. Liked those country side small roads between the woods.

[@abhashalinilakra2388]

Mr. Tom is such a nice person. It seems he is very particular regarding the work😄.He literally took your viva regarding the types of rake where I couldn't control my laugh😁😂.We do made mistakes while we are learning new things sir lekin akhir kar aapki mehnat rang layi finishing of tile was too good😃. Aapko kucch naya sikhne ko mila aur humko dher sara inputs mila. I am pretty sure of using this skills in near future😊.

[@shayraniduniya]

The comment of mine on your vlog even though I have been following since long. Cheers to the man, so positive towards life.

[@arjuthecooldude]

I suddenly noticed on the fuel pump meter. It showed that they get 11.11 gallons of fuel for 20 USD. That means 42.05 liters of fuel for INR 1460 (Considering Rs. 73 as dollar price). That means fuel per litre: (1460/42.05) = Rs. 34.72!! And we Indians are paying around Rs. 100 around the country?! Wah Bhai, what a 'Acche Din'.

But it’s often said you learn from your bad experiences. In day to day life we all have learnt a-lot from your videos sir.
