India, Solo travel
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.

Nainital, Solo travel
Nainital is one of my favorite places on Earth! The lake is so beautiful and surrounded by greenery. There is hustle and bustle in the markets and street shops, all admiring the beauty of the lake. Staying in a comfortable place perched on the hillside, you will find gorgeous views. Locals are genuine and helpful, but be aware when walking in the Tibetan market area because there is the possibility to be targeted by child pickpockets! All other areas are normal and not as congested, but that...

Gurgaon is comfortable and safe in most areas, especially if you’re in a car or with company. That said, like many big cities, solo women may face staring or occasional unwanted attention, so being mindful, especially at night, is important

It’s a night city you’ll always feel safe. Even in public transport there are constables keeping an eye on everything. People also are very chill and do not judge. Police security is good and cause of different kind of people living in same place makes it more free

About me
Dancer at heart, researcher by profession, and traveller whenever I get the chance. I love good food (making and eating), spontaneous plans, long walks in new cities, music that makes me move, and a little bit of chaos in between. Also veryyyyyy likely to stop mid-conversation to pet a random animal.

About me
I’m an ex-corporate girlie turned full-time traveler, now rooted in Pune, Maharashtra—with my heart still in my hometown, Jaipur, Rajasthan. I’m deeply passionate about food—whether it’s cooking up a comforting home-style meal or discovering hidden local gems. I love cooking sharing the rich flavors of Indian cuisine, especially Maharashtrian, Rajasthani, and North Indian dishes. I host women for free because I believe travel in India should feel joyful, safe, and soul-nourishing. My home with three cats and two guitars —a cozy, welcoming space where you can truly experience culture, connection, and comfort

Holaaaaa Girliess!! In this episode of being created into matter, I’m playing the part of a bubbly, fiercely passionate & curious person named Rupsha. 👧🏻💅🏼 A part time lawyer and a full time makeup artist & goofball, I live in Ranchi in India which is a small beautiful hilly town in East India. I got the love of travelling as a heriditary gift, both my folks being avid backpackers in their day! I believe that the world is 1 family, and that’s why I travel to realize this statement in my soul. I started solo travelling 2 years back, because i got tierd of waiting around for my friends who never seem to have enough time for it and I didn’t want to let life pass me by. 🪷🪷☀️ I’m overjoyed to see women finally getting to be their true independent soft selves during this century and forming precious bonds while being boss ladies! Would love to connect & hear your stories out! Cheerio!
