Abhishek & Shreya · Ophthalmologists · India

Every trip ends the same way. We mail a postcard to ourselves.

Routes we actually walked, day by day — and the credit-card stack that quietly paid for most of them.

About us

Two eye surgeons who plan holidays like case sheets.

We're Abhishek and Shreya — ophthalmologists by profession, compulsive planners by habit. Between clinic weeks and OT lists, we get a handful of days at a time. So we learned to make them count: tight routes, no wasted mornings, and almost nothing left to chance.

The other half of it is money. Every trip here was booked on points, transfer bonuses, welcome offers and the boring discipline of putting the right spend on the right card. We keep the receipts, the failures included.

We write these down for ourselves first. Sharing them was your idea.

The postmarks

Where we've been, in one line each.

The stamp is the summary. Everything underneath it — the day-by-day route, what we booked, what it cost, and the cards we paid with — stays sealed until you write to us.

Rio2026

Brazil

Rio, Iguaçu and a coastal detour. The long-haul we would never have paid cash for.

Cusco2026

Peru

Sacred Valley first, Machu Picchu after — acclimatised the slow way, with a booking window we nearly missed.

Trip fileSealed
Mahé2025

Seychelles

Three islands, one ferry timetable to plan around, and the beach worth the extra hop.

Trip fileSealed
Alps2024

Switzerland

Ten days on a rail pass, timed around the weather rather than the guidebook. One valley we would stay in again, one we would skip.

Trip fileSealed
Lyon2024

Lyon, France

A food city that rewards booking ahead, and the day trips worth taking out of it.

Trip fileSealed
Petra2023

Jordan

Petra before sunrise, a night in Wadi Rum, and a self-drive loop that turned out easier than everyone warned us.

Trip fileSealed
Dubai2022

Dubai, UAE

A long weekend that stayed cheap — the desert night, the skip-the-queue timings, and what we did not bother with.

Trip fileSealed
Abu Dhabi2022

Abu Dhabi, UAE

Slower than Dubai and better for it. The mosque at first light and a stay booked entirely on points.

Trip fileSealed
Malé2021

Maldives

An overwater week that cost far less than it looks, and the difference between the island we picked and the one next door.

Hideouts in India.

Tamil Nadu

CoonoorTea slopes above the toy-train line — quieter than Ooty and better for it.
OotyWorth it off-season, for the early lake mornings before the buses arrive.
KotagiriThe least busy of the three Nilgiri towns, and the best one to walk.
ValparaiForty hairpins up, then tea estates and elephants crossing at dusk.
KodaikanalPine woods and a cold lake. Go midweek or don't go.

Kerala

WayanadCoffee estates and rain, and the stays that are actually worth their price.
MunnarEveryone knows it — the trick is staying where the day-trippers don't reach.
MarayoorSandalwood forest, jaggery and dolmens, an hour past Munnar.
Athirapally FallsBest just after the monsoon, and early, before the crowd.
KumarakomBackwaters without the Alleppey traffic, and a houseboat night that stays quiet.

Meghalaya

CherrapunjiLiving root bridges and the wettest air in India. Come for the walk down.
ShillongA base more than a destination — good food, and better drives out of it.

Arunachal Pradesh

PasighatWhere the Siang comes down from Tibet. Permits first, then river country.
TezuFar east and barely visited. Getting there is most of the reason to go.
