You’ve probably met couples who love traveling together, or love sharing their travel memories with the world.
But how many times do you meet a couple that not just loves to travel, but travel together, explore and discover new places, blog and talk about it, and also help other couples experience a similar journey of love and exploration – all in a day’s work?
Meet Apurva Saxena and Rahul Makkar, the couple who now run Safarnama, a couple travel blog that was originally founded by Apurva and now the baby of the couple.
According to their own admission, both of them love to travel, and that is how they met, which led to the start of their Safarnama. The two had known each other through Facebook and their first meeting was an official one for a project.
Apurva has been a blogger for 8 years, blogging from www.kalapalette.com while Rahul has been a health mentor and blogger at www.fitfoodiesmantra.com. When they first took a group trip together to Mcleodganj, they saw their passion towards travel and realized this was a bug that was present in both of them. Love followed, and a few months later they decided to do something together around travel. On a drizzly evening at a cafe, both Apurva and Rahul blurted out the name SAFARNAMA at the jinx point, and that’s how ItSafarnama.com came into being.
It can definitely be tough working together with your partner, but somehow, the couple feels they’ve been lucky, as their thoughts, concepts, and perspectives have always been in sync. If there ever has been a confusion or confrontational situation, both have agreed on listening to each other before coming to any conclusion.
Working with someone you are in a relationship with could be difficult, but the couple feels that it totally depends from couple to couple. Understanding each other, respecting each other and listening to each other is important, but above all, communication is the king.
Whenever they are travelling, Apurva and Rahul make sure they extend their work trip for a day or two wherein they go on a social media detox and spend quality time together. Since they are always travelling and working together, they admit they get ample time to be with each other, which also helps to maintain the work and love equation.
