I work with inbound travellers to challenge their idea of India. To take them beyond crowded tourist circuits and transactional experiences, and introduce them to a side of my country that isn’t chasing their dollars, but offering something far more meaningful; connection, warmth, and amazing stories.

Hi Lucas, This is a very interesting question and I’m sure you’ll receive a lot of subjective answers. For me, it’s rarely just about the website, price or even reviews. It comes down to four things: 1) Alignment: How closely the agency’s approach m... show more
How do you choose your travel agency? 19 days ago
Over the past year, while designing journeys in India, I’ve noticed an interesting divide among travellers. Some arrive with a clear preference for the usual, touristy routes. They’re excited about the classic highlights and often hesitant to move too ... show more
Are offbeat itineraries actually saleable? 27 days ago
Hi Franki, I’ve been noticing a similar shift as well. In my experience, travellers today seem to value the experience of a place far more than the room itself. The stay is still important especially for luxury travellers, but it’s no longer the main h... show more
