Activities we are interested in:
We are currently slow traveling Latin America. Looking forward to meeting residents and like-minded travelers for cultural exchange/ exploring nature/ meaningful conversations over coffee.
Description
Hello! We are Pubali and Indranil, an Indian couple living in Costa Rica since 2018 and traveling to other countries in Latin America, one bit at a time.
Since October 2022, we have been living a nomadic life and slow traveling Latin America, living out of our backpacks. Along the way, we are collecting memories, and capturing the same through our travel writing, photography and video making.
Both of us love exploring new destinations and embracing new cultures. We enjoy nature, wildlife (in their natural habitat), hikes, history and street food, and our favorite part of traveling is exchanging stories with people and forming new human connections.
