Sharanya Iyer, the girl who travelled 'stans' of Central Asia ALONE

Sharanya Iyer, or you may know her as trulynomdly, a hippie-go-lucky soul with gypsy spirit. She has recently travelled 'stans' of Central Asia all alone. Yes you read it right, The Stans have this certain media-fed image about them but the prejudices about these beautiful places didn't stop Sharyana in any way.  

Iyer, is a full-time travel blogger, transitioned from her role as a full-time Brand Marketing Manager at a leading youth channel to chase her passion for travel. She is a solo traveler with a keen fondness for local cultures, adventure sports, mountains, sunsets, waterfalls and the ocean, preferably along roads less explored.

About her recent trip to Central Asia, she says, "scale wise this has been the longest and the craziest solo I've ever been on. I had done several single destination trips but this was the first time I was setting off to cover three countries at once. Coming to why I chose the Stans, I feel it is very easy for someone to experience a place virtually these days – you have vlogs, photo blogs and what not. Even though there are travel accounts of Central Asia, I felt there wasn't enough and that got me hooked. I did my research on Kazakshstan, Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan and each of these places turned out to be unlike any other place I had ever been to before."

She further adds that, the countries were one of the most beautiful places with one of the most kind-hearted souls. they not only offered her free rides and meals but locals even went out of their way to help me overcome the language barrier or suggest food items. 

Shranaya was brand manager before dedicating her full time into travelling and blogging about the same. It was because of this that she knew how to build her own brand. Blogging was not something she planned overnight, instead she took her time to get comfortable into scenarios that blogging and travelling in and around the globe brings with it. 

She says, "I started my career in advertising, moved on to media, actually had a job that I loved but it was nothing like the joy I used to get while travelling. So before I actually made the 'big transition', I sat my parents down, explained them what I had in mind and followed it up with a good dose of planning to be able to sustain myself."

Sharanya Iyer, has recently joined YouTube and is ready to share her travel journey with us and we can't wait to see it. She believes everyone should give a try to solo travelling, not because it is a fashion or a new trend nowadays but to enjoy the experience and meet one's inner self.
