Kaushal Karkhanis aka Exotic Gringo - travel blogger from India

Kaushal Karkhanis

Hello, fellow explorer!

I'm Kaushal, a wayfaring digital nomad who started traveling in 2007 while choosing to shuttle between Goa and Mumbai.

One year later, an epic life-changing 6-month long trip to South America gave birth to this blog, Exotic Gringo.

Your stupidest travel mistakes become a fun way to reminisce and cherish the 'normal' times when we could all travel freely!

This is me taking the train from Santa's town Rovaniemi to Helsinki back in 2015, because i booked a wrong flight (classic mistake of confusing the day and month fields!) 😬

But it turned out to be a fab experience, and i enjoyed the train journey thoroughly.

Hmmm... Maybe I should make a video about all my travel goofups (there's one too many!)

Ask a group of 10 people who have been to a specif

Ask a group of 10 people who have been to a specific country about it, and you'll get at least 100 perspectives on it.

To someone, it may be the best country they've visited. To someone else, it may be the scariest. Or the best cuisine they've ever had.

That's what travel is to me - infinite perspectives, possibilities and realities.

It's our experiences and the people who influence us define our 'world view' - how we perceive the world.

So why not broaden it a bit? Look at the same place a bit differently, from the stories and experiences of others?!

Oh, and if you're a #travelblogger, #travelvlogger or someone who runs a #travelpodcast, you're welcome to add your links on the app 😀

Remember to explore responsibly - hold on to the actual travel plans until we're over the pandemic, but enjoy vicariously through the stories of others (or your own throwbacks!)

Also, if you love the app and want to give it a thumbs up, please do so on @ProductHunt - should be on the homepage! 😊🙏🏼

Mood right now. Wonder when it'll be safe to step

Mood right now. Wonder when it'll be safe to step out into this beautiful, intriguing world again!

On the bright side, this is a good time to take a pause from traveling and save up for whenever we get to travel again.

"New York is dead forever. Here's why" - this vira

"New York is dead forever. Here's why" - this viral article has been doing the rounds lately and I was shocked to read it.

Is it link bait? Yes and no. Because I get what the author was trying to say. The cities we love are changing forever, largely because of the pandemic and its repercussions.

The situation in 🗽 probably seemed more grim to the author coupled with the black lives protests and apathy towards it and his personal experiences of how an all-welcoming city is turning into Gotham City with the Joker at the helm.

He chose to move to Austin, Texas because remote work is a better option thanks to growing bandwidth.

I'm not trying to dissect or question anyone here, but to remind you that THIS is why one should not wait till you get old to travel. Because you only feel the anguish and empathy towards a place when you've seen it and lived it with its people early on. So even in a changing world, I WANT that article to be proven wrong.

Times change, people change, places also change. The objective isn't to "see the world" but to feel it, as a global citizen.

Heal well, Big Apple. I love you and I'll see you once it's safe to travel again. I'm optimistic about what I call the #post2020world

Long, personal read: Cultural immersion is my fav

Long, personal read:

Cultural immersion is my favorite part about travel. Discovering and exploring the myriad ways in which people live around the world, what makes them tick, what makes them unique, what makes us similar.

🥊 Boxing has been my favorite sport (for the disciplined and intense warm-up workouts. Not so much for watching or playing it).

🌴 Being a part of an amazing community in Chapora, Goa where my super sparring partner @aman.james and Coach Fabrizio helped me push myself and enjoy it so much that I wanted more at the end of a two hour session each day... I'll cherish those days always.

🇹🇭 I thought I could relive it in Thailand with Muay Thai, but as much as I enjoyed it and appreciated it for its cultural aspect, it wasn't the same as the golden days with Coach Fab and my sparring mate Aman, from back in Goa.

One of the main reasons I am so deeply grateful to Goa, and why I hold it so dearly. It helped me bring out my best self. But I digress...

Places lose meaning without people, and culture is the collective energy of the people, anywhere. and (slow) travel is the key to delving into cultures. Remember this, and I bet you'll find it way more rewarding than just checklist travel. 😊

Haven't said this in these many words before, but thanks @aman.james, Coach Fabrizio and the entire Tiger Boxing community from Chapora. I miss you all.
