Hi,  I’m Ajay. 

My story begins in Punjab, India, where I was born and raised in a land of colour, warmth, family traditions, and food that could win anyone’s heart. Those early years shaped my love for culture and community — and planted the first seeds of curiosity about the world beyond.

Life, as it often does, had its own adventurous plans. In my youth, I moved to Australia, then found myself living across the USA, Canada, the Middle East, India again, and eventually London, which I now call home. Each stop along the way added a new layer to who I am, and each journey stitched together stories, flavours, and friendships that I treasure deeply. Somewhere along the way, I realised I had already travelled across nearly half the world — and I’m still hungry for more.

Travel, food, and photography are my constant companions. Most of my adventures, in fact, revolve around food — tasting the unfamiliar, seeking out local gems, and celebrating the joy that only a shared meal can bring. And of course, my camera is never far; I love capturing those fleeting moments that make a place unforgettable.

When I’m not on the move, you’ll often find me reading, cooking, watching films, or losing myself in music. My ideal evenings are slower: a drink in hand, a bit of shisha, and a quiet view from the balcony. I also practice Reiki as a Certified Reiki Master — a practice that keeps me grounded and balanced no matter where I am in the world.

How blogging began, For years, my phone never stopped buzzing with questions from friends and family planning their holidays. Where to go? What to eat? What to avoid? Sometimes the requests didn’t end there — I’d get calls from people while they were travelling! That’s when it clicked: maybe my experiences weren’t just useful for those close to me. Maybe they could inspire and help a wider audience.

So, I started small with a Facebook travel photo page, just to test the waters. Soon, with encouragement from my wife and a push from within, I launched Savvy Travelers – Travel and Photo Blog. What began as casual advice has now become a space where I share my passion for travel, food, culture, and photography with anyone who shares the same spark.

Eat Around the Globe, Food is at the heart of so many of my journeys. If you’re curious, follow my food trail on Instagram — it’s a taste of my travels, one bite at a time.
