Portrait of Shivali Soni

Hey! I'm Shivali,

I swapped a stable career in software engineering for a life of travel.

I've always loved discovering destinations beyond the tourist trail and creating meaningful travel experiences.

Over the years I've travelled in every style, from backpacking and hostels to luxury five-star holidays, and I've learned that unforgettable travel isn't about your budget. It's about knowing where to go, when to go and how to experience a place like a local.

Travel Better. Travel Smarter. Travel Together.

Helping people explore beyond the tourist trail through curated itineraries, travel advice and unforgettable group trips.
