“In the end, it is all about leaving the world in grace, counting little moments lived, and cherishing with tryst of one’s oblivion to see the world”
I am Upasana Kakati from beautiful state of Assam tucked in the chicken neck corner of India. A proud North-Eastern and a prouder Indian – the blog is an outlet to share anecdotes and stories from roads, about people, community, and stay connected to my passion to weave words through the magic of travel.
Oh! Did I mention, I am not the travel influencer kind of posting rosy pictures on social media. I might end up with no action on social media for months yet living the best life, somewhere quite.
Days I am not traveling, you will mostly find me home – working on projects, freelance work, curling up in a cozy corner with a book, or maybe watching a true crime series (not kidding). Oh! I listen to podcast while taking my evening walks.
Little here and there about my Journey
My love for travel started with a school trip to Rohtang Pass. The gorgeous snow capped peaks of the towering mountains made me fall in love zillion times. The fresh snow and the mighty Himalayas took a back seat as life happened, it stayed as a faint memory. In the quest to find a better meaning to life, my rendezvous with Himalayas happened in the most charismatic and enthralling way.
Booking a trek to Roopkund on a whim after 15 years from my first encounter with Himalayas was the beginning of my love story with travelling, backpacking, and wrapping the beautiful memories through words for my blog.
It started with obsessing about beautiful places behind the laptop screen, reading blogs about travelers, following journeys of people travelling the world without fear and venturing out solo. Hundreds of cancelled plans, no one to travel with and my soul getting hungrier to see the world – I set out for the first time alone.
This was the genesis of my tryst with the big unknown world, solo traveling and replacing my alter ego with myself. This blog is my creative outlet that keeps the alive the fire of seeing myself as a writer.
What’s my Style of Traveling?
