Hi, I'm Drishti

Are you tired of the daily routine and airport food that tastes like regret? Welcome to Trip Untraveled. I am so excited that you are here!

I am Drishti - I work hard (the good ol’ 9-5 grind) and I travel hardest. My days are a blur of emails, engineering stuff, and deadlines, fueled by caffeine. Currently, my bucketlist is growing faster than I can travel.

 

But here's the thing: squeezing epic adventures into precious vacation days can feel like trying to fit the Great Wall of China in your carry-on.

And that always makes me think - how can I maximize my time-off from work and visit all these places? This isn't just about me ticking off destinations like grocery items. It's about sharing the hacks, the tips, the secret itineraries that turn travel dreams into tangible reality.

Why "Trip Untraveled?"

I will be honest. I hadn’t traveled for 2 years when I was trying to save money for a personal goal I had. While I did make it happen, I went through this deep longing for travel which was constantly morphing seeds in my head of wanting to step into the unknown. It was a constant whisper of hidden waterfalls, ancient ruins, and bustling foreign markets which turned into a bittersweet song of travel desires I want to fulfill. I was feeling quite poetic as I pondered upon this thought, of a journey I have not taken. The trip “untraveled” remains in the realm of what might have been, a potential adventure. It signifies a path that is yet to be taken (like going to the Colosseum in Rome!). Also a great reminder that it wasn’t built in a day - sometimes, the greatest journeys take time to simmer. Remember, the beauty of an "untraveled trip" lies in its power to ignite the imagination and fuel future adventures. So, keep dreaming, keep planning, and who knows, one day those untraveled trips might just become well-worn travelogues you share with the world.

I boarded my first flight to Ukraine when I was 17. I still remember that Turkish Airlines flight and the layover at Istanbul airport. It felt like I was in a whole new world not knowing what’s to come next. In that moment, I experienced several firsts which made me fall in love with travel. Be it a country I haven’t been to before, swimming in the Mediterranean for the first time, connecting with an old couple from France on a ferry, or fine Greek cuisine with Caldera views in Santorini. That love continues to grow strong and I continue to chase my firsts.

Why do I travel?
