A Little About Me
Hi, I am Aanchal!
I’m a teacher, a lifelong learner, and a traveller who believes the world is the richest classroom we’ll ever step into. Whether I’m leading a lesson or getting lost in a new city, I carry one belief with me: meaningful learning doesn’t need four walls. It’s everywhere—on crowded trains, in quiet cafés, in conversations with strangers, and in the stillness of unfamiliar places.
This space is where I bring it all together—the ideas sparked during long walks in new cities, lesson plans born out of real-life experiences, and the little reflections that pop up when you least expect them. It’s for fellow teachers, curious travellers, and anyone who believes travel isn’t about running away—it’s about coming home to yourself, a little differently each time.
Every journey teaches you something—if you’re listening.
As a teacher, I try to carry that into my classroom. Whether it’s turning a fruit market into a math lesson or using a cultural exchange to talk about empathy, I believe the most lasting learning comes from connection—to the world, to each other, and to ourselves.
This website is a little home for those lessons and stories. I’m not here as an expert—just as someone who’s still learning, still curious, and still collecting moments that mean something.
If you’re an educator, a traveller, or just someone who likes to see the world with curious eyes — welcome. You’re in the right place.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. How can I afford to travel so often?
Honestly, it’s all about priorities. I save up little by little, plan trips around school breaks, and choose places that offer meaningful experiences without needing a big budget. I skip fancy hotels and eat where locals do. I’d rather have a new stamp in my passport than a new pair of shoes — that’s just how I’m wired.
3. Have you ever been in danger?
Nothing too extreme, but I’ve definitely had moments that tested me. These experiences have taught me to be more prepared, more aware of my surroundings, and to always have a backup plan. They weren’t fun in the moment, but looking back, they’ve made me a more mindful travelLer.
2. How do you plan your trips?
I usually start with a small idea — a place I’ve read about, a conversation I’ve had, or a photo I saw. Then I dig a little deeper, look at the best time to visit, check flights, and figure out the basics. I leave space for surprises — not everything has to be planned to the last detail. Some of my favorite moments happened when I wandered off the plan a bit.
4. How do you balance work and traveling?
I use school holidays and long weekends to explore. I plan my trips carefully around the academic calendar and try to make the most of my time off. It’s not always easy, but I’ve found a rhythm that works. Travel keeps me grounded and inspired — I come back to the classroom with fresh energy (and usually a few new stories).
