How does it feel to travel all around world? Having visited almost all the countries that are out there. With 100 of them on an Indian visa. On a vegetarian diet. Through the conflict zones in the so-called war torn countries.
Prasanna Veeraswamy and Sangeetha Ranganath are your “typical atypical” couple who have been there, done that…..literally.
While growing up in the middle class India of the 80s Prasanna and Sangeetha were your typical couple. They met as students in BITS Pilani and then moved to the US after graduation. Had a good job, house, big car and traveled abroad for vacations. They were well settled and were set out for life…but instead they chose a life filled with wanderlust and enriching experiences. A life which allowed them pursue their dreams, passions and opportunity to find themselves. A life less ordinary.
In this episode titled “Visiting Every Country in the World with Prasanna & Sangeetha” of the show Travel Conversations (TC) on The Rustik Travel Podcast we will hear about their inspiring story as they traveled around the world visiting each and every country that is out there.
