ABOUT ME

Hey! My name is Pooja Mandal. A typical 1994 born girl with the desire to travel and explore the world. Lucky for me, I live in India, which gives me the opportunity to visit so many diverse places without worrying about visa processes and immigration. Isn’t that great? I definitely think it is.

So, as this might be quite similar to yours, my biggest dream is to visit as many countries as possible. This dream to travel was the reason Nextmileplan was born. And as the name suggests, I love to plan for my next travels. That excitement you get with the thought of being in a new place, exploring, relishing new food and meeting people of a different culture is just immense. 

Currently, I work full time in an IT company, but I have always been fascinated by the idea of travelling full time. To be honest, this fascination is only during the planning process. The moment I am about to leave my place for the airport or about to reach the destination, I turn into a scared cat. My stomach starts rumbling (even though I don’t feel hungry). I sometimes even shake, not that I let anyone know about it. I never understood why I always felt that way even though I have been to new places earlier. Nonetheless, I know one thing for sure, I am thankful for all the feelings of fear and anxiety that I feel as they make me feel triumphant when I finally pass that stage.
