When Sheetal Pasad decided to travel the East Coast of Africa early this year, she didn’t have a friend in Kenya, one of the key countries she wished to visit. She only had invites from people who had connected with her travel story. This was nothing new to her. Travelling has been her lifestyle and coming to Kenya was just one more dare adding to the 32 countries she has adventured since 2016.

Besides, the 37-year-old, Dumara, Gujarat-born, traveller is not your ordinary woman. Culture and adventure is her passion and the different experiences she gets as she tours the world, from exciting encounters to life-threatening ones, are what thrill her. She has concurred cultural barriers and financial shortcomings and worse even ankylosing spondylitis, an incurable disease that provoked her to live free.
