ABOUT ME
I'm Varun.
I am a full-time traveller now (yes, I quit my job to follow my dreams). I love solo travelling & meeting people. After travelling extensively in Incredible India for years, I stepped out of my country and realised, how beautiful the world is! I started making travel web series in Hindi full of travel tips and tricks, especially for budget travel and sustainable tourism. My dream is to inspire people to explore this beautiful world and learn the best things to make our world a better place to live in. I was awarded the prestigious 'National Tourism Award' by the Government of India for my contributions in the field of promotion of Tourism. Thanks to my viewers, because of whom now I get invitations from across the globe to visit their places and show them to the world.

I am a doctor by profession and whenever I get time from the hectic schedule I watch your series to de-stress myself
Me too.
Konse doctor ho bhai
Medical science ko promote karne wale ya medical industry ko !

mee too ...orthopaedic surgeon here..science ko promote karne vale doctor btw...i love his videos...Thank you sir...It is my dream journey
Your episodes are like watching a series on OTT platform, just can’t get away from it, glued to it
Exactly!
This video was excellent. It gave the viewers detailed description of the Amtrak trains. I am 77 and I live with my daughter’s family in Aurora in Illinois, since five years. The fenced border between Mexico and Texas state that you had shown from the moving train was very informative. The American govt does not encourage development of the railways, because the automobile and oil industries have to be pleased. So people either travel in their own cars or SUVs or take a flight. Atlanta and Chicago airports each handle 4000 flights totally per day, during normal times. Almost every activity is private enterprise here. Govt has only two or three activities like currency printing, postal service and defense. Because of that everything moves efficiently here. Electricity, healthcare, food, agriculture, oil, road transport, air travel, ferries, housing, banks, schools, universities, heavy industries, pharmaceuticals, are all privately held businesses.
Even most NRI's in USA perhaps have not experienced a train journey there like u did. One of your best video
What about generational citizens of USA, also they never cared about trains.
Beautiful landscape.
Slow train 😀 even truck is going ahead of Amtrak
The average speed of cars/trucks in the US is over 120KMPH in the interstate highways.
This is the really classical vlog on traveling. This is highly professional filming, editing and commentary. I would rate this video as number one in all of the Indian vloggers including those of varun's himself.
Good things may take time...but they are laid on strong foundation and the results are breathtaking!!!

When I observed that this video is of 29 mins , I really felt very happy since I would be experiencing relaxing 29 mins in this stressed situation.❤️
never missed a single episode.its my binged content. Sunday with start with this.
Our life is a constant journey from birth to death, the landscape changes, people changes, our needs changes but the train keeps moving. Life is lot like a 🚆 train. This was an Excellent review with all the possible information we could ask for. It's amazing that how you captured the appearance of the sky as the sun goes down below the horizon at the end of the day, and the music along with it just perfect ✨This video is going to inspire a lot of hodophiles to experience this atleast once in their life. Patiently Waiting for the next episodes ✨

Your 24 hours of beautiful train journey summarized in almost 29 minutes literally took us for an amazing ride with you sir🤩🤩🤩. The views were absolutely scenic ❤and the bgm was apt in describing the beauty of this journey.The detailed review of the Amtrak in this video is just wow.The observatory coach is something which we call here as Vistadome coaches which runs on selected routes having scenic landscapes. The 28:21 part was really funny 😂. At the end the transition from light to dusk was indeed beautiful❤. It's been 2 hours since I have been watching this video in a loop but I can't resist myself from watching it again 😄. Eagerly waiting for upcoming episodes 😊.

@@jaydeepsolanki3798 what is wistadom coaches
Your soundtrack is as amazing as your video, blessed that your content is free ❤️😘
I really love your videos. Enjoy every trip you have with full information. I know that you are doing it for a long time. Your experience matters a lot about filming so well. Thank you so much.
The initial bgm gives that typical cowboy feels from olden Hollywood movies, and the scenary outside was beautiful. Be it 15min or 30min, your videos keep us glued every second and times passes swiftly..
Just like many developed countries, India too can provide amazing trains and facilities, but as users, we mostly do not handle it carefully which results in rolling back to basics.. things are changing slowly now, hope to see great products from IR..
You Said It 👍🏻
@@mountaintrekker sir which rolling bag you are using in this trip
वरुण भाई ये सब सपने देखने जैसा लगा। असल में न सही आपकी आंखों से खूबसूरत दुनिया देख लेंगे।
बहुत बहुत धन्यवाद 🙏
Thank you #Amtrak

What we have seen in the country like USA they take care a lot of there people comfort. The way they are managing the trains the rooms, Washroom Inside keeping a Family Suite room in a train, the recliners in the chair car All these small little things matter's a lot for a traveler and it makes easy for them to travel a long distance. It makes journey more relaxing.
Looking forward for next vlog *_*
PS : Watching it in office makes me feel much more relaxing it's like I'm sitting inside the train and enjoying it.
haha.. now look for a window and get a selfie
office mein koi poochhe to ye video share kar dena 😉
@@mountaintrekker it goes without saying. there are 4 people working under me currently and I always share them this video at soon as I get the link of if :P They are kinda addict now as well. So without even being a member they are enjoying it :P
There are hardly any travel videos on USA. This series is good. You should just hitchhike all across USA.
thank you, I just loved it..your series really helps to de-stress.
Ye fencing former President tump ki den hai. Aapne to video ki level bahut hi up kar di hai 10m view to hona hi chahiye. Ye train vistadom coach ki tarah thi. Thank you varun bhai and good morning.
23:02 This one was worth it. Thank you so much 🥰🥰😍🤩🤩
Never missed a single episode, your travel guidelines vary beautifully, train journey is amazing
Varun, as always well done, I just loved the way you gave the tour of the entire train along with fare and aminities details, very informative, keep up the good work and stay safe and blessed 🙂
As always ... Inspiring. Love to see you that you're leaving your dream your way ... Cheers

Great tour and review of the Sunset Limited! Now I am well familiar enough that I can maybe try it out myself in the future by riding this. :D
The rail tracks, the scenes, the gentle pace and the wonderful editing made my day. Deja Vu, nostalgia and many other feelings hit simultaneously. Stay safe Varun ji. Kamaal karte rahiye.
