The one outing that brought tears to Savi Munjal’s eyes was when she and her husband, Vidit Taneja, spent a night in an ice igloo during a Arctic Circle. “We watched a Northern Lights. You hear so most about a experience, but, when we do see it, we are overwhelmed,” says a 32-year-old.

Munjal and Taneja are formed out of New Delhi though that is usually as distant as postal residence goes. Once a month, a couple, who go by a name Bruised Passports, conduct to a new geographical coordinate — Cambodia, Croatia or Guatemala. If we are among those painful to live a identical dream, a twin has tips for we on their website (www.bruisedpassports.com), that they common in chairman during a meet-up progressing this week in a city. “We save a lot of income and we suggest that people do a same. But, before we go about creation a transport fund, we have to consider about priorities. If we wish to collect bags or shoes, afterwards that’s your priority. There’s no wrong or right. But, if we wish to travel, afterwards don’t buy that costly car, that can account dual years’ value of travel,” says Taneja.

Meeting in high school, and dating shortly after, Munjal and Taneja got married in 2008.

They now live a life of freelancers – Taneja is a photographer and Munjal a author — operative remotely and removing consecrated for online gigs.

Owning an Indian pass comes with a stipulations distinct an American passport, that promises we unconstrained possibilities. The twin overcome that by requesting for visas by a copiousness and jet-setting any time one arrives. Plan 6 months in allege for any trip, is their suggestion.

Having strike 72 countries so far, we ask them if it’s overpowering or refreshing to do a couple-trip any time. Munjal says, “I have finished several trips with my friends and even solo ones. When we transport solo, we worry a lot about losing my pass or my cash. With Vid around, we know we can brag him into holding all responsibility.”

The integrate is mostly faced with a doubt of because they transport so much, a clearly indulgent choice. “I tell them that my travels have taught me some-more than my PhD could. You accommodate another traveller in Peru who speaks usually Spanish. How do we get to know this stranger? You learn how to figure common ground, and adore it. That’s what transport is for me,” she says.
