Hi, I'm Salman Konnola 👋

I'm an Indian backpacker who has explored 16 countries on a shoestring budget — from the hawker centres of Singapore to the cobblestones of Europe. I share real INR₹ cost breakdowns, honest visa experiences (including rejections), and practical guides covering flights, hostels, SIMs and attractions — so you can travel more for less.

I've been featured in Malayala Manorama for my budget travel experiences. I also host walking tours and help Indians navigate the real world of budget travel and visa applications.
