Nature is my inspiration; I sense the vibe in a moment and create content according to that.


1. Tell us about your background and journey.

My name is Nitin Chola and I came from a middle class family, i did my graduation( BBA in tour and travel management) in 2013 from GGSIPU.

I always had my passion in exploring new things, when i was kid i used to ask so many questions to my parents coz I had this eager to know everything.

When i cleared my 12th class i did not had anything in mind that what i am gonna do, and then my father suggested to pursue BBA. There were 2 programme in BBA- general and tour and travel management. I did not think twice and just selected tour and travel. And so it began.

I have been travelling from past 6 or 7 year now and i will be travelling for the rest of my life.

2. When did you first decide that you wanted to create content and How did you start?

It's all started back in 2017 when i was on kheerganga trek with my college buddies. I wasn’t really into making content coz all i ever wanted is to travel, create memories and live in the moment.

But somehow i came across Instagram where i just wanted to show how beautiful our world is, i wanted to inspire people to come out from their comfort zone and see what all things our mother earth can offer(of course without showing my identity).

3. Is vlogging content creation a financially sustainable career?

It is like any other jobs that we do, we grow day by day, we earn small by sponsors and buy equipments to enhance our skills and viewers experience.

4. Who is your favorite creator and why?

In imaginary world my fav creator is God who created so many beautiful things, but yes in real world I really like Isa khan (@khan.isa) one of the best travel influencer and vlogger right now. He is very mature and a kind person(haven’t met him in real though). I watch his vlogs on youtube and the way he interact with people and see the world is different.

5. How and where do you find inspiration to churn out content?

Nature is my inspiration, i try to capture every possible beautiful moment but yea at the end we know camera cannot capture what our eyes can see and what our heart can feel. I sense the vibe in a moment and create content according to that.

6. What does your typical day look like?


When i am travelling i do not miss any sunrise and sunset ever, i start my day with a sip of hot tea or coffee watching sunrise, i enjoy my own company so i keep myself busy doing my own things. I always try to seek new adventure so i do not make plans and i just go with the flow.

7. Which is your favorite book and why?

I don't read much but On the road by jack kerouac is the one that i read a long way back. I like it because it somehow relates to my personality. The story is all about how a person becomes a better, stronger, and more confident person trough all his travel adventures.

8. What piece of advice would you like to give to future and aspiring creators?

I just want to tell them to be real be what you are and do what you want to do, every human being is different and they have so many different ideas. Try exploring and never settle for less. Keep creating things what people dont even imagine .
