Being a travel influencer and a professor in Mumbai, I am very passionate about travelling and have been to 11 countries across Asia and Europe. Travelling is my hobby because it gives me a purpose in life to explore the unexplored, meet amazing people from all around the world, try different cuisines, explore beautiful forests, waterfalls, man made wonders with a rich history and cultural heritage and create beautiful memories. I am also fond of learning languages since a very young age. I am sharing the pictures from my recent trip to Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia where I had the opportunity to fly back with VietJet and the level of comfort and hospitality that i observed truly made me delighted and not just satisfied. It would be a dream come true for me if I win this as Vietnam has been on my mind since that day as i really want to explore the beautiful terrains, waterfalls, greenery and become friends with one of the most down to earth people on this planet. I really believe in admiring all beautiful creations of God and that is why every time when I travel to a new country, it makes me explore and think out of the box, appreciating and accepting change for a better tomorrow, learning from others experiences and embracing unity in diversity. I would really love to win this and capture beautiful memories.

In 2019, I selected the Communication & Journalism program for my postgraduate studies in University of Kerala. The opportunity to study film and film production in the third semester was a significant factor in my decision. My ambition is to direct numerous feature films. I believe that extensive travel, gaining new experiences, connecting with diverse individuals, exploring various cultures, and trying different cuisines will enrich my creativity and perspective. This journey will undoubtedly be advantageous for me as an aspiring filmmaker. Collaborating with university of Kerala, Kerala govt advertising and imaging technology agency (Cdit), public relations society of India during and after the course I have directed documentary fictions, short films, promo films and I worked as cover fashion photographer for an online magazine also. some of my films were selected in various prestigious film festivals also. In my postgraduate studies, I had the pleasure of befriending two classmates from Vietnam, Do Trinh and Nguyễn Ngọc Trinh. Through them, I discovered the rich cultures, diverse cuisines, and artistic expressions of Vietnam. My time in post graduate school also allowed me to deepen my understanding of photography and film production. Trinh and Nguyễn Ngọc Trinh frequently served as my models for various photography projects. Inspired by their influence, I published a low-light photography book titled ‘RETRATO’ within the department. They are both truly among the most remarkable and significant humans I have encountered in my life. After the course in 2021, when they departed from Kerala, I resolved to visit their homeland, Vietnam, at least once. I began to act on this decision in August 2024, the month I completed the script for my first film. When I shared the news with them on WhatsApp about my upcoming trip, I was thrilled to hear my Vietnamese friends express their eagerness to join me in exploring the streets of Hanoi, the train village, and more. I began my research on flight prices and visa requirements for traveling to Vietnam. During this process, I came across an article in the newspaper about VietJet Air's Love Connection. I can't express how thrilled and joyful I felt upon reading it. I am eager to capture numerous photographs, explore the Ho Chi Minh Museum, indulge in delicious dishes like pho, bun bo hue, banh mi, Che, bo bit tet, Goi cuon and experience the warm hospitality of the Vietnamese people. I visited Delhi in March 2023 to begin writing my first feature film, and now, over a year later, the script is complete. Before diving into production, I plan to embark on an extensive trip to Vietnam. This journey will allow me to reconnect with my Vietnamese friends, gain valuable experiences, immerse myself in the local culture, appreciate the arts, and photograph the vibrant community. After this adventure, I will return to Kerala to pursue my dream of making my first film

My dream is to experience the beauty and culture of Vietnam by immersing myself in its food and nature. Vietnam’s cuisine is a vibrant reflection of its history, geography, and the passion of its people. I imagine walking through the bustling streets of Hanoi, savoring a bowl of fragrant pho, the perfect balance of herbs, spices, and savory broth. In every dish, from banh mi to spring rolls, there’s a story of tradition, innovation, and the connection between land and people. The street food culture, with its lively night markets and open-air stalls, fascinates me. I dream of tasting the crispy banh xeo in Ho Chi Minh City or enjoying fresh seafood along Vietnam’s endless coastline, while interacting with the vendors and chefs who put their heart into every meal. Beyond the food, Vietnam’s natural landscapes call to me. I long to explore Ha Long Bay, where towering limestone cliffs rise majestically from emerald waters, offering a serene escape from the world. I picture myself floating through the Mekong Delta’s labyrinth of rivers, witnessing life unfold along the waterways—markets, farms, and homes all interwoven in a beautiful rhythm. I dream of visiting the rice terraces of Sapa, where green fields stretch as far as the eye can see, sculpted into the mountains by generations of farmers. In Hoi An, I would cycle through peaceful villages, absorbing the charm of a countryside that seems to exist in perfect harmony with its people. Vietnam’s food and nature are deeply intertwined, and my dream is to explore this connection. From the farm-fresh ingredients used in daily cooking to the sustainable farming practices that respect the land, Vietnam exemplifies the symbiosis between humans and their environment. I want to document this journey through photographs and stories, capturing the vibrancy of its street markets, the serenity of its landscapes, and the warmth of its people. With Vietjet, I hope to turn this dream into reality—to explore Vietnam’s diverse food culture and breathtaking nature and share these experiences with the world. Vietnam is a land of contrasts and wonders, where every meal, every landscape, and every interaction holds a story, and I long to be a part of it.

Food as a Bridge Between Cultures Travel is about connection, and food is a universal language. It is a bridge that brings travelers and locals together, creating moments of shared experience. Sitting down at a family-run restaurant in Vietnam or a street food stall in India, one quickly realizes that the simple act of sharing a meal can overcome any cultural barrier. Whether you speak the same language or not, the joy of delicious food needs no translation. In conclusion, discovering the cuisine of a place is one of the most meaningful parts of any journey. It’s a way to immerse oneself in the heart of a culture, to understand its people, and to appreciate the diversity of our world. For any traveler, the real adventure begins with the first taste. So, let’s explore the world, one meal at a time. ** it's truly my dream to sit in a local restaurant in Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City, have conversations with the locals, share Indian culture with them, and understand their culture. I have previously traveled to Thailand, Malaysia, and Bali specifically to try the local cuisine, understand the significance of local food and culture, and when I return to India, I share this with people here, encouraging them to visit those places as well. truly feel that if I get this opportunity and I am able to travel to Vietnam, I will consider myself very fortunate. I will be able to explore Vietnamese food thoroughly and promote it well in India, encouraging my friends and family to visit Vietnam and enjoy its beautiful landscapes, culture, and food. Thank you, VietJet team, for this wonderful opportunity!

As a young individual who had never flown until my first year of college, the world of travel has opened my eyes to limitless possibilities and inspired my journey as an innovator in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, as well as a passionate artist and photographer. In my first year of pursuing a Bachelor of Technology in Computer Science and Engineering, I was fortunate to work on a project that addressed a real-world problem using IoT. Alongside three talented international students, we won first prize at the IoT Championship. This achievement not only boosted my confidence but also earned me an invitation from the government tourism board of Oman, which I used as an opportunity to surprise my parents with their first international trip. During this trip, I encountered a widespread issue, Color Vision Deficiency (CVD)—that many individuals face but often goes unaddressed. This sparked a passion in me to delve deeper into this subject. Upon returning to India, I dedicated over a year to researching and developing a project focused on detecting and addressing CVD. My efforts were recognized in 2023 when I was honored with the ISTE Award for Young Engineer Innovators for the Best B.Tech Project in Computer Science & Engineering, further securing a grant to continue my work. Beyond my work as an innovator, I have a deep love for the arts. I’m a glass painter, using vibrant colors to bring stories to life, and photography has become another medium for me to express myself. Capturing moments, whether it’s a fleeting expression, the play of light on nature, or the details of cultural traditions, has always been my passion. I believe that art is a bridge between cultures, and it helps me see the world through a different lens. This passion drives my desire to travel, explore, and learn from different artistic traditions. A trip to Vietnam would be an invaluable opportunity for me to immerse myself in a rich tapestry of culture, art, and nature, further fueling my creative and innovative process. From Vietnam’s centuries-old glass art traditions to its breathtaking landscapes, I am excited to explore and draw inspiration. I also envision collaborating with local artists, exchanging ideas, and applying what I learn to enhance both my technological and artistic projects back in India. In a world that thrives on innovation and creativity, I believe experiencing diverse cultures is crucial for developing holistic solutions to pressing issues. The beauty of Vietnam’s culture and art will undoubtedly inspire new dimensions in both my artistic expression and my work in technology. I am eager to embrace the adventures that await in Vietnam and am committed to sharing my experiences through social media and contributing to VietJet's promotional activities. Thank you for considering my application. I look forward to the opportunity to explore Vietnam, engage with its vibrant culture, and continue my journey as both an innovator and an artist.

Since childhood, my mother taught me to connect with divine energies and be grateful to the higher powers guiding us—a lesson that now draws me to Vietnam. This beautiful country, with its rich culture, history, and spiritual depth, embodies the kind of divine energy I believe surrounds us all. While I don’t follow one specific god, I feel there’s a universal force that grounds us and guides our lives, and Vietnam, with its breathtaking pagodas and spiritual depth, feels like the perfect place to explore and connect with it. During my college years, I earned a bachelor’s degree in psychology and completed three courses—two on human behavior and one on sociology. These studies helped me understand people and the energies that drive them, but I’ve always believed that real understanding comes from experiences, not just books. That’s why I’ve traveled across India, visiting places like Vaishno Devi Mandir in the North and the ancient temples of Thiruvananthapuram in the South. Each place offered its own unique energy, filling me with peace and purpose. I’ve also felt this divine energy outside India. From praying in Dubai’s dargahs to seeking calm in Indian gurudwaras and churches, every place has added to my understanding of how spirituality connects us. But Vietnam feels different. Its blend of natural beauty, ancient traditions, and a culture deeply rooted in harmony makes me feel that this country has something truly special to offer. Vietnam’s spiritual sites, like the 1,500-year-old Chùa Trấn Quốc pagoda in Hanoi or the stunning Long Sơn Pagoda with its majestic white Buddha, have always drawn me. But it’s not just about temples and pagodas—it’s about the people, the energy, and the way of life. The Vietnamese people, with their friendliness, resilience, and strong work ethic, inspire me to learn how they manage to stay so content and balanced. What fascinates me even more is the strong role women play in Vietnamese society. Compared to my own country, women in Vietnam have a visible and powerful presence in markets and businesses. I want to understand the cultural and historical reasons behind this and how their society encourages this kind of equality. For me, this journey isn’t just about seeing a new country—it’s about growing as a person. Vietnam offers everything I admire: a rich culture, breathtaking landscapes, delicious food, and adventure. But most importantly, it offers a chance to connect with a way of life that values both progress and peace. Life is all about experiences, and I believe visiting Vietnam could be one of the most meaningful ones for me. It’s not just a destination; it feels like a place where I can find clarity, learn from the people, and bring back lessons that will shape my life. This journey isn’t just something I want—it’s something I feel I truly deserve to experience.

As a resident of India, I am excited about the prospect of exploring another Asian country, Vietnam, which boasts a rich and diverse cultural heritage, particularly in music and performing arts. As an underground rapper, I am always focused on creating music and lyrics that captivate my audience, and I believe that experiencing the unique Vietnamese music scene could offer me invaluable insights and inspiration. Vietnam’s traditional and modern music cultures present a fascinating opportunity for artistic growth. By immersing myself in the sounds of cities like Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, both hubs of music innovation, I can learn about traditional Vietnamese genres such as ca trù and nhã nhạc, and find ways to incorporate these elements into modern hip-hop. This fusion of Vietnamese musical heritage with contemporary rap styles is something I am eager to explore, as it will allow me to diversify both my talent and my sound. This trip to Vietnam can also provide me with the opportunity to record videos and music in a completely new environment, enriching the visual and auditory experience of my future projects. Being able to incorporate Vietnamese landscapes and cultural nuances in my music would not only expand my creative horizons but also help me connect with Vietnamese audiences, further broadening my fan base and global reach. Having a foreign audience would be an exciting achievement and a testament to the universal appeal of music. Additionally, having just completed my higher secondary education from Sherwood Convent School, this trip would give me the confidence to navigate new cultural experiences and socialize in an international setting. I am looking forward to engaging with Vietnam’s rich traditions in art, music, food, and clothing, all of which are integral aspects of their vibrant culture. In essence, this trip offers me a unique chance to grow not just as an artist but also as an individual. Exploring Vietnam’s music scene will provide me with the tools to evolve as a rapper, and the experience will undoubtedly shape my career in the hip-hop industry.

I'm eager to immerse myself in its rich culture, try out its delicious cuisine, and witness its breathtaking natural beauty. By exploring this vibrant country, I hope to broaden my horizons, gain new perspectives, and enrich my life. As an educator, I believe that experiencing Vietnam firsthand will make me a more effective global citizen and a more inspiring teacher. I'm excited to share my experiences with my students and cultivate a deeper understanding of the world. I’m particularly excited to visit the bustling cities of Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, where I can experience the dynamic blend of ancient traditions and modern influences.

By immersing myself in these diverse landscapes and cultures, I hope to develop a profound appreciation for Vietnam’s history, people, and way of life.
