Exploring the world and the self…
I didn’t set out to become a traveler.
I simply kept moving.
From India to Switzerland, and then to the United States, life didn’t follow a plan I had carefully designed. It unfolded on its own. One decision, One transition, One chapter at a time.
And somewhere along the way, I realized…
I wasn’t just changing places.
I was changing within.
Every place gave me something, and took something too.
In one country, I found excitement.
In another, I found stillness.
In yet another, I found uncertainty… and strength I didn’t know I had.
There were moments of starting over.. again and again.
New homes. New systems. New versions of myself.
And in between all of that, I became a mother.
Travel was no longer just about discovering the world.
It became about creating one for my children.
But not all journeys are visible.
Some of the biggest shifts didn’t happen at airports or on maps.
They happened quietly.
In the pauses.
In the doubts.
In the days that felt uncertain and unfamiliar.
There were times I questioned where I belonged.
Times I missed what I had left behind.
Times I felt like I was in between everything.
And yet, those were the moments that shaped me the most.
This is not just a travel blog.
It’s not about perfect itineraries or bucket lists.
It’s about:
- The emotions behind moving countries
- The reality of traveling with children
- The identity shifts that come with starting over
- The small, meaningful moments that often go unnoticed
It’s about the journey you can’t always see.
Why “Outside and Within”?
Because every journey happens twice.
Once in the world around us,
and once within us.
This space is for both.
If you’ve ever felt in-between…
Between places.
Between roles.
Between who you were and who you’re becoming. You’re not alone.
This is my story.
Of moving.
Of adapting.
Of raising a family across borders.
Of learning to go with the flow, even when I didn’t fully understand it.
And most importantly,
of becoming.
Welcome to Outside and Within.
Namaste.
