This mother-son traveling duo proves that parenting is not about giving up your passion but inculcating them in your kids.
A passionate, spontaneous backpacker who loved to treck to remote areas put her love for travelling on the backseat when she became a mother.
She wanted to focus on bringing up her child and making sure that she was experiencing the adventures of motherhood.
Even though on various occasions, the traveler in her could hear the mountains calling out to her, she didn’t want to be trapped in the guilt of leaving her son alone.
Somewhere down the line, she lost the enthusiasm to travel.
When her son, Dev was 4 and old enough to understand what traveling was, she decided to take a trip to Dharamshala.
She sat Dev down and asked him if he wanted to accompany her for the trip. She showed him pictures of the places she’d visit and to her surprise, Dev with all his excitement, jumped to the idea of it.
Their first trip together was filled with adventures. While she was struggling to complete the trek, Dev was already miles ahead with the guide.
Over the years, the mother-son duo has experienced the essence of traveling. Whether it is paragliding in Nanital or snorkling in the Andamans, they’ve done it all.
Her dreams to travel the beautiful sights of Asia and Europe are now shared by her son-cum-travel buddy.
She has decided to enjoy all the wonders that word and life has to offer, with her son. One adventure at a time.
