Vijayan and his wife Mohana, own a small tea shop in Kerala. For them, life is all about travelling and collecting experiences and knowledge from their various journeys across the worlds. Together, they have been to 17 countries, this is their inspiring story.
“I want to see the world. That is my desire. My only desire,” says Vijayan, a tea-seller from Ernakulam in Kerala.
With this desire that has lived and grown in him ever since he was a child, Vijayan used to steal food grains from his own house and sell them outside, to be able to run away and see new places.
Today, the same person has visited 17 countries across the world, along with his wife Mohana – powered by his strong will power and immense love for travelling.

According to a report in
The News Minute, as soon as he has enough money, he approaches banks for a loan, travels to a new country, and replays the loan over two or three years.
“God has blessed me with more than what I deserved, dreamt of, or wished for,” he says. And thus, with the belief that all of us have only one lifetime to do everything, he has spent close to Rs. 10-15 lakhs on his journeys. But for him, that money is nothing when compared to the places he has seen and the knowledge he has gained.
And when people call him crazy, he simply says – “Yes, I am crazy. Everyone has their own craziness.”
