Mama India! One of the most powerful holy place on the Earth. This was my first solo trip, it was challenging but I had very good time. I ventured out to Goa, Varanasi, Himachal Pradesh and I spent some time in Delhi as well. I can't wait to go back.

About me
Hello, I'm Janani Vasanth. A Clinical Psychologist from Chennai, India. I am learning that I love to travel. I also love animals and have a very diy attitude about things. I'm one of those crazy ppl who looks at something and thinks " I can do that" and actually goes ahead to do that! I have visited Sri Lanka and Thailand so far. Looking to explore many more places. I enjoy immersive experiences rather than ticking things off a bucket list
