Hello Hexile985, and welcome to expat.com.

You are already a member, the post you've just made being your first.

Welcome aboard.

My name is Karthik, and I’m passionate about exploring new cultures, hidden destinations, and authentic local experiences. I run travel websites where I share detailed guides, itineraries, and practical tips for travelers who want to discover India and beyond.

I have a special interest in helping people plan stress-free journeys — whether it’s budget-friendly backpacking, luxurious honeymoon getaways, or family vacations. Over the years, I’ve researched and written extensively about India’s diverse landscapes, from the serene backwaters of Kerala to the Himalayan escapes in Sikkim, as well as international destinations like Singapore, Thailand, and Malaysia.

What I enjoy most is connecting with fellow travelers and expats, exchanging travel stories, and learning how people adapt to living abroad. I believe every journey, whether short-term travel or long-term expat life, adds a new perspective to the way we see the world.

Looking forward to contributing to discussions, sharing my insights, and learning from the community here.

Cheers,

Karthik
