Wanderful life

“Blogging, for us, was also a means to share all our experiences as well as the research we did before our trips,” she adds.

Revati and Charles believe in having a steady, stable income as it helps them see more of the world in a better way. “As travel bloggers with a career in advertising, we believe it is indeed possible to travel the world with a full-time job. Being able to spend on once-in-a-lifetime experiences whenever you travel is often made possible only because of the hard work at a day job. We plan our trips in advance, around long weekends and holidays, ensuring we don’t waste a single day of work.” Since 2011, they have travelled to over 30 countries, and are constantly plotting ways to travel more.

About their favourite destination, Revati says, “Paris. It’s the first European destination we visited together, and both of us have gone there several times, either together or separately. It’s a city we never get tired of visiting. And as we’ve spent so much time there separately, Charles has his version of Paris and I have my own, and we’re always dying to share those secrets of Paris with each other.”

Sharing a photo from a Paris trip two years ago, she says, “This was during a visit to Champ de Mars. Over so many years, we’d never seen this side of the Eiffel Tower. This trip was the most memorable because we’d spent a week apart on two different continents, and while we had a wonderful time exploring our own diverse interests, we were delighted to share our experiences.”

The secret to keeping the travel chemistry alive between couples, says Revati, “is having a healthy balance of developing your own personal interests, and sharing or introducing each other to some as well. The beauty of travel lies in the sheer joy of discovery.”
