Nidhi Pingala
Lives in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India
Hello, I'm Nidhi, a 30-year old globe-trotter 🌍 from the diverse landscapes of India. My passion for exploration has led me to 9 countries, with plans for my next three international adventures already underway 🛫. Within India, I have lived in the dynamic cities of Kolkata, Mumbai, Manipal, Hyderabad, Chandigarh, Lucknow, and New Delhi — each one enriching my life with a spectrum of experiences! 🏙️ Travel, for me, is more than just ticking places off a list; it's about immersing myself in the local culture 🤝, away from the beaten tourist paths. I love to explore each destination as a local would — seeking authentic experiences, savoring local cuisines, choosing hidden gems 💎 over crowded tourist spots, and forming genuine connections with people I meet. 🌟 🏞️ Exploring the great outdoors , uncovering hidden wonders, seeking adventure and unwinding in nature fuels my passion for travel. I also seek a balance between adventure and relaxation — whether it's savoring local cuisine 🥘, renting accommodations with breathtaking views 🌅 or relaxing pools 🏊‍♀️, joining vibrant parties 🎉, scouting local markets 🛍️, or participating in exhilarating sports/activities ⛹️‍♀️, each element adds a unique flavor to my journeys. Through my guides and services, I look forward to sharing my experiences and helping others discover the soul of places, beyond usual tourist attractions. Join me as we embark on a journey to explore the world in its true essence! 🌐
