Who Am I?
Hi! I'm Ankita Sangani – call me Anki.
I grew up in a small town in India dreaming of seeing the world… even when my pocket said "no way."
After years in corporate life, I got laid off in early 2025. Instead of panicking, I took it as my sign to chase the dream – so I started Explore With Anki.
Now I live in the UK with my husband (my forever travel buddy and best tripod holder 😄), and we're exploring the world together on a budget.
My big goal: 33 countries by my 33rd birthday. Not to show off – to show you it's possible too.
I share budget travel tips, real itineraries, travel hacks, and honest advice – everything you need to travel smart and enjoy more.
From a middle-class girl with big dreams to a full-time travel creator – I'm living proof: You don't need rich parents. You need smart plans.
