Description

Overview: We are a new age aspiring community of travelers who believe that travel is all about experiences, it is about meaningful interactions with people, art, music, culture and community of the place. We collaborate with artists, leaders, visionaries to grow and work together for about a week at different offbeat locations. We believe in learning while traveling and try to bring a positive change in the fast paced travelers through yoga, meditation, art and music.
