SwitzerlandI am Batoi Bhai — originally from Puri, Odisha, one of India's most sacred and beautiful coastal cities. Puri shaped me: its timeless temples, its roaring sea, and its people taught me that life is meant to be experienced in full.
In 2001, I made a decision that would define the rest of my life — I left home to live abroad. What started as a leap of faith has transformed into a journey across all six inhabited continents of the world: Asia, Europe, the Americas, Africa, Oceania, and the Middle East.
Having lived abroad continuously since 2001, I have not just visited these places — I have lived among their communities, shared their meals, learned their customs, and understood their way of life. This depth of experience is what separates my perspective from a typical tourist.
Today, I share these experiences through photos, vlogs, and stories — hoping to inspire others from Odisha and across India to explore the extraordinary world that awaits beyond our borders. If you have any questions about travel — visas, destinations, budgets, safety, culture — I am always here to help. Just ask.
From the ancient temples of Asia to the wild savannahs of Africa — every continent holds a story.
Raised in the holy city of Puri — home to the Jagannath Temple and the Bay of Bengal. A childhood filled with culture, faith, and the sea instilled a deep love for exploration.
Packed up life in Odisha and took the leap — moving abroad to begin a new chapter. The first of many borders crossed, the first of many cultures embraced.
Over two decades of continuous travel and living abroad — traversing Asia, Europe, the Americas, Africa, Oceania, and the Middle East. Each continent a new chapter, each country a new lesson.
Began documenting the journey through YouTube and Facebook — giving viewers an authentic look at the world through the eyes of a traveller from Odisha who has made the globe his home.
The journey continues. New destinations, new stories, and a growing community of travellers and dreamers to inspire. If you have travel questions, Batoi Bhai is here to advise.
With experience across 6 continents and over two decades living abroad, Batoi Bhai is happy to share travel advice, tips, and guidance. Reach out — no question is too big or too small.
