Hi, I’m Vansh Tiwari from Delhi.
Before college, most of my travels were with my grandparents and relatives. I’ve lived with my grandparents since childhood, so whenever extended family planned trips outside Delhi, we would often join them. Back then, the idea of traveling solo never even crossed my mind — trips happened when someone else planned them.
Everything changed in my late college years.
I began exploring new places with friends and eventually started traveling on my own. One of my earliest transformative trips was to Bir Billing. I had booked a group tour with a fixed itinerary — everything was pre-arranged. It was my first time visiting Bir Billing and also my first experience with trekking. Until then, adventure had always been something I watched from a distance.
That trip sparked something within me.
I returned home filled with stories, emotions, and a deep urge to share what I had experienced. After college, I started thinking seriously about documenting my travels. While pursuing a digital marketing course, I began applying what I was learning by starting a blog. That’s how Crossroadadventure was born — a space inspired by my passion for travel, storytelling, and exploration.
What does Crossroadadventure mean?
I spent a long time thinking about the name.
To me, life constantly presents us with two roads — one that the world expects us to follow, and another that we choose to carve out for ourselves.
This blog represents the second road.
It is the story of choosing uncertainty over comfort, passion over routine, and creation over hesitation. It’s about building something from scratch and trusting your own path — even when it feels unconventional.
That’s why I named it Crossroadadventure.
Alongside building this platform, I have also worked full-time. My job helps me fund my travels and continue investing in this dream. Balancing both hasn’t always been easy, but it has shaped me into a more disciplined, resilient, and driven creator.
From the very beginning, I aspired to become a travel content creator. I believed I had a unique perspective — one that could bring stories to life through visuals and words. But when I started, I knew nothing about photography, writing and filming.
In the early days, I borrowed a relative’s DSLR and learned by experimenting. I would study the controls, watch tutorials, and even call him during trips asking questions like, “How do I blur the background in a close-up shot?” Every journey became a classroom.
Initially, I focused only on photography, not realizing how powerful writing could be. Over time, I understood that storytelling is incomplete without balance — visuals capture attention, but words create connection. You cannot let one side of the boat sink while the other tries to row ahead. So I committed to improving my writing just as seriously as my photography.
Over the years, I’ve balanced a full-time job and a growing blog, traveled mostly solo, and consistently created content along the way. It has been a journey of learning, self-discovery, resilience, and growth.
Crossroadadventure is more than a blog — it’s a reflection of the road I chose and the courage it took to walk it.
And none of this would be possible without your support.
Thank you for being part of this journey.
I hope you enjoy reading Crossroadadventure as much as I enjoy creating it.
I really liked the reason behind your blog name. Keep going and All the best 🙂
Thank you, Dolly, for sharing your thoughts with me 🙂.
Hi Vansh
Hope you’re doing well. Please advice how can I travel from Delhi directly to Kalpa. Is there a direct bus?
Regards… Neha
Hi Neha,
Thanks for reaching out.
You can take Delhi to Reckong Peo direct bus from Delhi Kashmiri gate. But, I recommend breaking your journey into half, Delhi – Shimla, Shimla – Reckong Peo than, Peo – Kalpa for better experience. It would be an extremely long journey, so, diving it would be better.
Please let me know any other query you had.
Thanks
