But thanks to my year of travel, the fear of losing my job has decreased,” says Baba. “For an average, working-class Indian, it may not be such a good idea professionally to quit his/her job to travel. After their road trip ended in June 2013, neither of the two friends rushed to find a job. Instead, Baba tried his hand at farming—using family funds and his corporate job savings—and built a home-stay in Wayanad, Kerala, hoping to stay in touch with a more “natural and rustic sort of life”. So I decided to quit and travel while Victor would join me on his vacations,” says Revati.
