About Shivam Panday

A creative Pisces to the core, I am always just one daydream away from my next big adventure. I'm Shivam. Mechanical and Automation Engineer by Education, So called Chef & traveler by hobby and a medicinal herb enthusiast by passion. I started my travel blogging during my one year as an expat in a city of Maharashtra. There, I used to live in a teensy little pent house with some transporters and enjoying a peaceful high life, Skating on neighbor's stoop and night drives across the city. I promise you, anything is possible! Then without warning, while I was exploring in the Himalayas with what was quite possibly the most fascinating group of people I’d ever took my trek with, they are really amazing. A dream job. I develop a more flexible lifestyle. I did the whole give up everything and travel for years’ backpacking trip in my teens, but now with a business, house, family and friends, I’m trying to bring them all together. So I mix up travel and home life – with trips ranging India for more far-flung exotic trips. I firmly believe that you can talk and talk and complain and empathize with others, but to change your life, you must actually change … your … life. And I am doing it yet again — visit & explore Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh & Kerala with not much more than a gut feeling that it’s time for change. I often feel split in two — I love the excitement and career satisfaction that I got during this time as being a Research Analyst and Trek Leader, but man, I miss the big adventures that come with long-term travel. Join me as I navigate the path of someone who longs for both – and sometimes gets it. I still travel on a budget, but have done my share of dorms, overnight buses and instant noodles. Join me as I share my travel tales, tips and photos- and if you’ve got a travel question, drop me an email at shivam3939@gmail.com or Follow on Facebook, Instagram! Don’t be shy.
