University of travel series

If you think that you have a lot to see and witness around the world, then maybe you should just immerse yourself for the best travel experience lessons shared by Aakansha Monga.

They say that traveling to different places changes you as a person. It's an opportunity to step out of your comfort zone and broaden your understanding of the world. We know that travel content creators are always itching to explore new places and share their adventures with the world. Whether it’s hiking through a lush rainforest, diving into crystal-clear waters, or sipping coffee in a cozy café, they are always up for an adventure. They go all out on meeting new people, trying local cuisine, and experiencing different cultures. There’s nothing quite like the thrill of discovering a hidden gem or stumbling upon a breathtaking view.

Aakansha Monga, a seasoned travel content creator, believes that her experiences exploring the world have been far more enriching than any formal university education. She argues that her adventures have allowed her to learn from people from over 30 countries, acquiring a diverse range of skills during the process. For Aakansha, the essentials for meaningful travel are a backpack, an open heart, and a thirst for adventure. She sees travel as a transformative experience and going beyond the surface-level sharing of pretty pictures on social media.

Here's what the series is all about:

Episode 1 

In her first episode, she talks about the concept of truth and how it varies among individuals and communities. She explains that we see truth as an absolute concept and the reality about it is very subjective. She says, "Each of us grows up in a unique environment, influenced by our culture, societal norms, and personal experiences which shape our version of what is right and wrong. This becomes our truth”. She also says that traveling has taught her that truth is not a singular universal concept but a spectrum of perspectives. 

Episode 2 

In her second episode, Aakansha talks about how she struggles to find the secret to her happiness. She kept on chasing happiness in big and unique travel adventures. She kept on chasing more and more ways to find happiness but later realized that happiness is found in the smallest and most boring moments which she failed to see. She found happiness when she was able to witness simple and basic experiences when she visited Lombok, a small island in Indonesia. 

Episode 3 

In her third episode, she had to face things like a travel mishap. She talks about how we cannot control certain situations and the only thing we can control is the way we react to these situations when they occur unexpectedly. She talks about how we must shift our perspective and focus on what we can control, which is ultimately our reaction and this doesn’t apply only to travel alone. 

Episode 4

When she first set out to travel the world solo, she was terrified and wasn’t sure if people would talk to her, help her, if she would feel lonely in between travel. She talks about how a lot of us are all the same despite language barriers or any other things. But that hadn’t stopped her from sharing incredible moments with people. She also says that although each of us has different roles and perspectives in life, everyone is navigating life with the same mix of struggles and this has dawned a realization that we are all in this together.
