Spiti Valley Bike Backpacking

Just Wravel

 

When we were little kids, everyone told us that in every single grain of rice, the name of the person destined to eat it was written. While that might not be literally true, it got us thinking: what if we were pre-destined with the locations we need to see or the people we need to travel with? If that were the case, who would make this possible? Who would help you touch your destiny and provide you with the best people to explore and live with? As we like to believe (pinky promise, we are manifesting this to be true).
