#TellYourStory | Leaps of Faith - Story of How I Began Travel Writing
But I also knew that I had to do something that I could say was of my own and the one thing that always kept me flowing and going is travel. By the end of my armed forces career, I had been almost across the length and breadth of India and as such I had been traveling before my forces career as well. But I never used to somehow document my stories

So I wanted to share that with you so that if you ever meet up with anybody who is looking for a way to travel with their stories and they don't particularly want to write it, pop them over to swell and we'd love to hear your stories. And I'm just really excited to now kind of poke into your world of storytelling and go research your book. Thanks so much, and I really appreciate the message here. It's very, very inspiring
And that's the fun part of travel podcasting here, that when the people from the other side, they express themselves, that's real human beings talking. And that's the best kind of response one can ever get. That's the best kind of engagement. That's the best kind of connect that one can ever have. And that's the best thing that I like about Swell

And so it's kind of one of those things, if you don't use it, you lose it. So I definitely feel that my writing has plummeted over the years, but had I stuck with it, had I kept going when people weren't responding to it, I could have been in the same boat. So wonderful reflection and story on that. I love how you weren't getting anything, how you went from nothing to something. I love that and it makes me hopeful
Hi, Rajat. I've heard your story. It's really inspiring the way you did that switch from Air Force career to travel blogging. Now here you are on Swell, talking about your travel experiences. I think it takes a lot of guts, a lot of courage to change everything, to start afresh in a new career altogether and to believe it will work for you, because there'll be a lot of times you'll have to face a lot of backlogs
