Hi, I am Sampath Menon.
Thanks for stopping by.
I have been maintaining this blog since 2008. The blog has undergone many iterations and domain name changes over the years.
The blog’s focus has also evolved – though I have kept the primary focus on travel, I am shaping this site to also include helpful and inspirational resources around side hustles, passive income, and self-improvement.
I successfully co-founded and helped scale two award-winning Tech startups in my past life. As part of my work, my partners and I have won several national awards, including the 2012 ET Power of Ideas, the Pearson Affordable Learning Cohort, and the Nasscom Social Innovation Honours, to name a few.
I enjoy travel, street photography and interaction with like-minded people.
