YOUNG WOMAN TRAVELER holding an INDIAN PASSPORT exploring the world on HER OWN for more than a YEAR. World traveler, experience collector, adventure seeker, culture vulture, foodie, budget traveler and believer of serendipity and happy endings. I am Leena Bansal aka Miss Walking Shoes. I quit my job in April 2014 and since then I am on the journey of my life. I have traveled to 28 countries across
three continents in this time (from May, 2014 to May, 2015). All this while, I have traveled 79,827 kilometers (49604 miles) – this distance is roughly equivalent to circling the Earth twice! Trekking up the Himalayas, deep sea diving in Atlantic Ocean, climbing Mayan Pyramids to paragliding up in the air, camping on roadside with gypsies, bumping into my look – alike in Berlin (really!!!), losing my camera lens, almost dying of snake bite twice, climbing active volcano in Indonesia, and witnessing two natural disasters – cyclone in Gili Islands and Nepal earthquake were just a few of things that has happened to me in the last twelve months. All these travels were self funded and self organized. I traveled on budget using overland transportation when traveling within a continent, shared rooms with unknown travelers in the dormitories (YES!! Queen Style), and cooked my meals (wherever possible). You will find it really interesting that I’m a vegetarian and I managed to stay that way all this while. So if you are interested in reading about all my travel stories and/ or want to know the tricks and tips for world travel, this page is for you. Hope to see you here often. :)
