There’s a moment on the Vande Bharat, somewhere past Kalyan, when the concrete jungle thins out and the Western Ghats start creeping into the window, where it hits you that you’re leaving Mumbai behind. Two hours later, we stepped off the train into a city where people worship at ancient temples in the morning and swirl wine glasses by the afternoon. That’s Nashik for you, India’s holiest party town, or its most fun pilgrimage city, depending on how you look at it.
Vancouver is a cosmopolitan city just like Seattle, making it a one‑stop shop for a diverse range of cuisines. Especially when it comes to Asian food, you’ll find the freshest salmon poke, some of the tastiest ramen in the Pacific Northwest, and plenty of baked goodness.
I’ve only been to Atlanta once, but it feels like I know the city inside out, all thanks to Abhi. Atlanta was the very first city he moved to after coming to the USA, and it holds a special place in his heart. So naturally, our trip turned into a nostalgic walk down memory lane, visiting his college, old hangout spots, and the places that shaped his early days in America.
Hawaii and “budget” are not synonymous, but not impossible either. I don’t like splurging on vacations. That’s stressful, not just on my wallet, but also the mental load that comes with it. Instead, I love optimizing and budgeting my trips, focusing on finding the best deals possible.
If you’re planning a trip to Hawaii, trying local Hawaiian food is an absolute must.

Seattle is one of those cities where the adventure doesn’t stop at the city limits, it actually begins there! It’s one of the largest cities in Washington, surrounded by the best of what this state has to offer. Whether you’re chasing daffodil and tulip blooms in spring, alpine wildflowers in summer, golden foliage in fall, or a snow dusted fairy tale town in winter, the Pacific Northwest has a day trip perfectly timed for every season.
Niagara Falls in New York State is one of the top destinations in the USA, attracting over 22.5 million visitors annually, roughly equivalent to the population of New York. Interestingly, this iconic spot is hugely popular among Indians. I still remember friends and family eagerly asking me about visiting Niagara Falls when I returned to India for the first time after spending nearly a year in the USA.
If you love exploring a city beyond the obvious popular spots, this guide is for you. I’ll help you find the perfect activities to make the most of your Seattle adventure. While iconic attractions like the Space Needle and Pike Place Market often dominate Seattle itineraries, the city offers far more experiences than just sightseeing.
Seattle is one of the best places to experience Pacific Northwest (PNW) cuisine. In this food guide, I’ll share everything you should try on your trip to Seattle, from iconic PNW dishes to restaurants that locals love.
