Hi! I'm Pari
I’m a traveler, a computer science professor, and someone who’s always loved telling stories.
I always pictured travel as a core part of my life, but in my early twenties I didn’t have the means or the opportunity to make that real. My first trip outside India came from a work relocation to Canada — and that one move changed everything. I’m a Canadian citizen now, and I genuinely love both the country I was born in and the one I call home today.
These days, I travel slow — usually about a month in one place instead of a string of quick stops (more on why in Slow Travel Itineraries). Being a professor means my calendar comes with real breaks built in, which is a big part of how these longer trips are possible in the first place. It’s a pace that suits me beyond just the logistics, though: less rushing, more time to actually settle into a place, and enough of it to build a trip that’s genuinely comfortable — not a luxury splurge, not a shoestring scramble. I also don’t drive, so figuring out how to get around well by train, bus, and my own two feet has become second nature — and it’s a big part of what I write about here.
I started this blog hoping it would help other people drawn to the same kind of travel — unhurried, comfortable, and built around actually living in a place for a while. It also supports my own travels in a small way, through the affiliate links you’ll find throughout.
