Namaste, Welcome to Inside Traveller’s Shoes! I’m Prerana, a brown-eyed girl from the vast land of many cultures – India. Just as much as I’m starstruck with the world and all the beauty it contains, I am proud of my own origins and love my country immensely. And I’m not here to tell you another story of how I quit my job to travel the world. Because frankly, I never had a “typical” one to begin with.

So, what would you normally find here, you ask? I suppose scribbles on life and experiences – as I gulp it one day at a time; things that make my soul flutter and everything that brings me happiness – a large part of which includes travel. For I do hope in some way, you’ll find your truth and yourself through it all. And it helps you “live your own extraordinary tale”.

Still can’t believe that it’s almost two years since we first danced to this …

Never missing an opportunity to use a beautiful space next to the beach and under the sunny afternoon sky to do what we love : DANCE 💃🏻 🕺🏾

Earlier this year, on our Goa roadtrip, we decided to stay at a Family Run Homestay by the Riverside in Honnavar. 

Here’s how living in a Homestay added a “New Dimension” to our stay in Honnavar:

👉🏼 We got to have yum home-cooked local meals and learnt more about the diet of the people in this region.

👉🏼 Day turned into night as we spend our evening boat watching.

👉🏼 We woke up early to observe the fog rising through the Sharavati river while we sat and watched the Sun slowly fill the sky in its light in the morning. 

👉🏼 Being present in the moment and observing the time pass us by ever so slowly and experiencing “The Slow Life”.

Here’s a glimpse of what awaited us at Sunrise the next morning. 🌞

Would you choose a Homestay next time you travel?

“If it's Meant To Be, It’s Upto Me”

It's been one of my favourite Affirmations lately.

It takes away the lack of control from the classic “Que Sera Sera” and adds accountability to your own self and actions to make your dreams happen.

This Affirmation now rests in the very beginning of my BuJo and remind me of the resolve when things seem low.

What are some of your favourite Affirmations?

PS - Did you notice me struggling when my brush pen ran out of ink? Handlettering is filled with moments like that.😉

All Smiles porque Ser Feliz 😀 

This was so unexpected and I’ve never danced like this so I was also pretty clueless. Have a long way to go with Salsa & Mambo but I’m glad to have shared this dance with @alan_soldek @erikymonika.salsadancers 

Thank you for capturing this fun moment my favourite @soundrider ❤️
