- ABOUT US -
Hi! We are Pooja & Shravan, an illustrator-engineer duo from Bangalore brought together by the love of travel and adventure.
We have traveled together since the winter of 2016. On one such trip, we started documenting these travels on a humble phone camera. We soon realised that we really enjoy capturing these experiences. We are entirely self taught (students of the internet) and have learnt from binging on brilliant creators over the years.
In our videos you might find glimpses of places that are not spoken about enough. We always vouch for spots that are somewhat the underdogs. Our vlogs are sometimes vlog-ish and sometimes a documentation of the place as we see it. We hope that watching these videos will bring a little dose of joy to your day.
We love reading your comments and hearing your thoughts.
They motivate us and help us steer our creative path.
With love,
Pooja & Shravan

The FINAL visuals of our 3 month adventure in AUSTRALIA. When you think you’ve seen it all, our road trip in Australia ended with the Great Ocean Road.
This road really honors its name; a bright blue ocean, a road LITERALLY next to the sea and amazing spots to stop and stare. And then ULURU.. this is the most extraordinary scenery we’ve ever seen. The COLORS are so different and beautiful. See for yourself in the video!
If you are in Australia, definitely put these places on your list!
We are constantly looking for ways to improve our videos and try new creative concepts. Curious what you guys think of this little story telling. Please let us know.
Hope we can inspire you to dream :)
