1. Ashray and Zara- East Meets West
When Ashray, a software engineer and Zara, a freelancer production manager realised the superficial and zestless life they were living in Dubai, working non-stop to chase something they didn’t really believe in, they decided to pack their bags and leave. This multiethnic couple defines the east meets west analogy. Together they not only travel the world living on bare minimum basics but also produce refreshing travel guides that offer a perspective of westerners travelling as well as Indians travelling to west.
They have found solace in each other’s company and have had their relationship survived even when they stepped out of their comfort zones, travelling full time and often, challenging their own ideas of living. The best thing about their travel is that they don’t have a home to return to, and plan to traverse the world forever!
