Ashish Gupta – a software professional, is on a 3-month backpacking trip across India and he is logging everyday of that trip on a travel blog called Myself Ashish powered by OkTatabyebye.com. In the blog, he tries to capture the moods of the various cultures he comes across along with his travel experiences.
The unique fact of this journey is that his stay is powered by voluntary invitations from members of the online travel portal www.oktatabyebye.com (OKTTBB). Ashish had started this journey of thousand miles alone, but today he has gained thousands of friends who read his blog, who follow him on twitter, who help him stay or who take him around their cities.
In just 2 months, Ashish has already covered more than 15 destinations across 3 states. The invitations for Ashish’s stay have been pouring in from every quarter, with the first invite from Dharamshala and invites from far away Gangtok already in! Apart from the support from the OkTataByebye.com travel community & their friends, this novel concept is also being strongly supported by telecom giant Airtel (it synergizes well with their brands’ stance of ‘Connecting a billion hearts’) who are enabling various connectivity tools & also the online bus ticketing major Ticketvala.com who want to showcase the sheer convenience and charm of bus travel.
OkTataByebye.com is a travel community where thousands of travelers connect with each other & through member contributed Hotel reviews, Destination guides, Photos and Blogs, share travel experiences, honest advice & tips, with like-minded travel lovers. OkTataByebye.com’s ‘Myself Ashish’, is an endeavor to foster interaction within the Indian travel community in a new and exciting manner.
