Prakriti Varshney, who wishes to be a successful designer one day, is also a passionate traveller. She started exploring new destinations, slow and solo, with an aim to set an example for many who believe that travelling alone in India is unsafe. "I am working towards the goal of making women believe that India is safe," she says. Her passion for travel has further led her to become a founder of Back in Time Hostels in Himachal Pradesh.

Sharanya Iyer, with her brand building skills, married her love for travel and writing seven years ago, and since then there has been no looking back for her. While Sharanya was creatively helping out brands to reach out their target audience, she realised that this was not meant for her. She told, "The only thing that got my heart thumping in those years, was the travel breaks I took from work."
Her latest trip to the Central Asian countries has been beautifully displayed on the profile and seems almost surreal. Exploring the Silk Road cities all on her own and helping out people to do the same is giving us major travel goals.
trulynomadly's favourite istagram handles:
Nupur Sing from @thelazyinsomniac, "For those drool-worthy flat lays and refreshing content on Instagram in a sea of equally epic but sort-of-similar content. She stands out in a way not many of us do."
Alex from @lostwithpurpose, "For going places not many girls have dared to go and talk about."

The story of Payal as a travel blogger started six months ago when she moved to the mountains and started posting stories on social media to help out the locals. She said, "This was never the plan, but then there came a point when I realised that I have got nothing to lose. So, why not?" Her passion for photography and writing helped her to build a career out of travelling, and she is glad that she chose this.

Payal has just one favourite Instagrammer, who "always reminds her to choose adventure." She says, "@ChrisBurkard inspires me today and every day."

Mouna Nanaiah started blogging with the sheer idea of helping her readers and viewers to virtually take a journey with her to any part of the country and help them plan their future trips. She was among those readers who would prefer reading travel experiences of people than itineraries. She said, "I look for articles on experiences rather than day wise itinerary because experiences are unique for every individual."

@sadak_chap for his incredible photography and frames.
@abhiandnow, "Abhinav makes me want to move to a hill town for the rest of my life."

Lopa is a passionate traveller and a full-time creative director and consultant. She believes in one life and one policy.

As a creative director, travelling has always helped her to come up with new ideas for projects.
