Wondering who i am?
Hi. I am Ipsita.
Welcome to my travel space. I am a travel writer and a solo female traveller from India. I have been travelling full-time around the world for 4+ years, volunteering and hitchhiking my way through. The only home I know now is my 70-litre backpack.
Our travel choices make an impact on the environment, local culture and the economy. Let’s tread on this wonderful Earth wisely.
