Hi! I am Kanupriya!
And welcome to my Travel & Live slow journey...

Reading and writing for self, came wayy later in life for me. I took to writing, about my travel & journeys, to connect with fellow travelers. Starting a blog was not on the agenda until i saw how i could pursue travel professionally. But lets rewind a little bit to know how did i get here!

I belong from an Architecture & Construction background. But, 6 years in the profession, I realized I was not cut out for the practice. As much as I love architecture as a principle, perhaps, I enjoyed being outdoors, observing and documenting it more. Writing, sketching, analyzing and taking a deep dive in its history and context became a part of the process. This interest took me to places (literally and metaphorically) and I chose to switch careers.

​

So, 13 years back, I announced myself as a full time traveler, and chose to slow travel through India, relocating every 4-5 years into a new culture, food, people & history. What better way to ‘settle’ I thought to myself! I did some short stints too on the way, to keep myself financially and mentally healthy. I did part time as a visiting faculty, a fitness trainer, an art teacher and an architect, until, in 2016, I declared myself a travel professional. By that time i was travelling avidly and had relocated to Sikkim. Having no background in tourism, I did anticipate challenges. Though, the adrenaline of starting something from scratch whose fundamentals were clear in my head, made me feel one with everything. "I am made for this" i often heard myself saying whenever i was in doubt. Cut to now 2023, I run a travel company, All INDIA Permit, Travel & Photography aka @travel.a.i.p (ESTA. 2016) & Co-run a stay in Manali, Tra Boutique Stay @tra_boutique_stay based on my experiences and way of life.

Living an inquisitive Himalayan life since a decade, i had become a good source of information on several aspects that i practice myself, which motivated me to curate immersive & holistic experiences for people with a tinge of adventure! I realized that in the long term the only way to progress & heal is to slow down, travel inwards and break the conditioning of success, love and happiness. These learnings guide my curations, for the road or at the stay, be it any location, for self or for you. More on this on Curated Experiences.

​

Hence, the blog. I enjoy writing and expressing through it. And second, to share and inspire. Motivate you to break free, time travel and explore – within and beyond to really - live. Having said that, you would find a mixed bag of expressions, about the work i do as a travel professional at TravelAIP & Tra Boutique Stay, my food journey and learnings on Food & Restaurants and stuff that i like to read and some fictional short stories on Books & Stories.

Are you ready for a walk with me into the wild?
