Hi, I’m Vansh Tiwai, 28, from Delhi.

Before college, most of my travel experiences were with my grandparents and relatives. I’ve been living with my grandparents since childhood, so whenever our relatives planned trips outside Delhi, we would usually join them. Back then, the idea of traveling solo never even crossed my mind — trips only happened when others planned them.

That changed during my late college days. I started exploring new places, sometimes with friends and eventually on my own. One of my first travel experiences was to Bir Billing, which I visited with a friend. We had booked a group tour with a fixed itinerary and all arrangements sorted. It was my first time visiting Bir Billing — and also the first time I experienced trekking. Until then, I had never done anything like that.

That trip sparked something in me. I came back full of energy, stories, and experiences I wanted to share. After college, I started thinking seriously about documenting my travels. During my digital marketing course, I began practicing my learnings on a blog — and that’s how Crossroadadventure was born, inspired by my passion for travel and exploration.

What is the meaning of Crossroadadventure?

I spent a lot of time thinking about the name. To me, life presents two roads — one that everyone tells you to follow, and the other that you carve out on your own.

This blog is the story of the second road — the one I chose to build from scratch.
That’s why I named it Crossroadadventure.

Alongside working on my blog, I’ve also held a full-time job. It helps me fund my travels and continue growing the blog.

From the beginning, I aspired to become a travel content creator because I believe I have a perspective that brings stories to life — through both photography and writing. But when I started, I knew nothing about either.

In the early days, I would borrow my relative’s DSLR, study its controls, and even call him during trips to ask things like, “How do you blur the background when shooting close-up?” Bit by bit, I learned photography on the go.

Initially, I focused only on photography, not realizing how important writing was. But over time, I understood that storytelling is incomplete without both — you can’t let one side of the boat sink while the other rows ahead. So, I started working on my writing too.

Over the years, I’ve balanced a job and a blog, traveled mostly solo, and created content along the way. It’s been a journey filled with learning, challenges, and personal growth.

And none of it would be possible without your support.

Thank you for being a part of this journey.

I hope you enjoy reading Crossroadadventure as much as I enjoy creating it.
