We are Shrey and Ash, a “couple” of travel fanatics who are on a mission to help others explore our beautiful planet. Our aim is to help you travel more with less. We have been traveling within India since 2008 and we just loved it but we always thought traveling outside India would be very expensive, until we had our first trip to Thailand in 2012.
