6. Five things that solo women travellers must keep in mind while travelling in India or abroad? - Carry a phone / smart phone with relevant connectivity so you can be in touch and reach people or get information quickly - Read up on your destination or take tips from fellow travellers, sites like trip advisor, or I often just asks people on twitter. So you can get a list of cool suggestions on places to see, things to do, food to try! - Make sure you have your health insurance in place so in case of an emergency, you are covered. - Travel safe, look purposeful and confident, dress according to the nature and culture of the place - Always have an emergency contact number at hand and of course, let your hair down and enjoy! 7. Top 5 favourite destinations for a backpacker or a travel enthusiast like you? Europe is just made for backpacking! 8. One of your best travel experiences and one of your weirdest travel experience till date? A trip to Leh-Ladakh, where I had just carried one light sweater along not realizing that there would be three treacherous passes with 20 feet of ice lying ahead. The chilly air cut through us but giving up has never been in our dictionary. So, we continued on our journey and reached Rohtang Pass around 8 pm in the freezing cold. By this time, we were hugging the silencer of the bike to feel alive. It was one hell of a trip to remember! 9. One place you wish to visit very soon? Africa again. I think! 10. Your best off-roading experience? We did a family trip to the Himachal – an adventure travel in luxury cars that was quite memorable. It was what inspired me to create Super Milo the perfect vehicle for such journeys.
