Welcome to Barriers And Borders

Forum and Shiva’s love story began in an architecture office in India, where they first met. Coming from different parts of the country, travelling to meet each other was the only way they could connect. Over the years, travelling grew into a tradition – a shared way of life. And now, this shared curiosity has blossomed into this beautiful space on the internet: Barriers and Borders.

Through B&B, they advocate for a travel that prioritises nature, supports local communities, and helps preserve the unique places that make our world so special.

It’s their dream to live and learn from every remote corner of the planet, while questioning the barriers and borders – both real and imagined – that shape the way we see and experience the world.

Responsible Travel & Meaningful Storytelling

As destinations around the world gear up to fight overtourism, rising waste, damaged natural ecosystems, and climate-related natural disasters, it’s critical to look at how we travel, the way we talk about places, and the stories we share with our close ones. Barriers and Borders is a responsible travel blog, where we share slow, soulful travel experiences that respect nature, celebrate traditional wisdom and support local communities. Our stories don’t fuel the bucket list or checklist mindset. Join us in reshaping travel into a force for good - for places and for people. 💚

Let's make travel a force for good.

“Travel changes you. As you move through this life and this world you change things slightly, you leave marks behind, however small. And in return, life – and travel – leaves marks on you.”
