Meet the
Gongangos.
Every guide here was built by someone who actually went. The Gongangos are our crew of been-there travelers — each one looks after the countries they know inside out. So when you read a guide, it's from the Gongango who's walked it.
Srini
UAE Specialist | Wildlife Explorer
By day, Srini hunts down hard-to-find tech talent across the UAE. By passport, he puts the same instinct to two nobler uses: tracking down genuinely good vegetarian food in every city he lands in, and tracking down wildlife deep in India's forests. (The only kind of hunting a lifelong vegetarian truly endorses, naturally, is the kind done with a camera.) Emirates is his new home. So for the UAE, he's our guy for both the itinerary and the table. And when he's not there, you'll likely find him on a dawn safari, waiting for a leopard to decide whether to show itself.
Mythili
Philippines Expert | Beach-Seeker in Denial
Mythili started travelling for a simple reason ~ Independence What began as a quiet promise to herself In the pursuit of proving she could do things alone, slowly became something much bigger. Somewhere between missed buses, spontaneous detours, sunsets she couldn't stop photographing, travel stopped being a hobby and became a way of life!! Ask her whether she's a mountain person or a beach person and you'll get a different answer every time :P It's a debate she has been having with herself for years. But if there were a line drawn exactly between the two, she'd probably be standing half an inch closer to the beach, pretending not to notice. Her relationship with the Philippines began with a solo trip to El Nido. The beaches were too beautiful, the islands too magical, and the cliffs too dramatic. To this day, El Nido remains the place that convinced her that sometimes you don't have to choose between beaches and mountains!!
