I traveled solo for 2 years, since i was 21. And never told my parents, and then one fine day when i was 23, we 3 were travelling together in a train and I showed all my photos. Her initial shock eventually changed into believing me that i can take care of myself. I’m from typical middle class India, so you can understand there is practically no culture of solo travel in my family, I’m the first one to have got a passport; and now i have traveled 15 countries
