Hello everybody! 😃

It's been a little over a week since we last uploaded a vlog. Here's what's happened!

We left China sometime ago and entered the next country on this journey four weeks ago. As eager as we've been to share exciting experiences from China and Mongolia, the internet access in Russia has been challenging to upload from. Due to the relatively short visa we've got and the long distances we've had to cover over the last seven days, editing vlogs on the go hasn't been easy either!

But it's very exciting to be here in Siberia - a part of 'Asian' Russia, we never expected to explore! In a week's time we'll likely be back fully online!

So please stick around and we'll see you super soon! 🤓

By the way, if you're ever curious to know exactly where we are, our website navandshish.com has a little map of our most recent whereabouts!

Well, its that time of the year again: It's World Navneeth Day! 🥳🎊🎈

From being a dreamer to where we are right now - you've shown me how some dreams are truly worth chasing. And every year, its getting crazier 😅 (and I am so curious to see what you'll dream for us this year)

Happy Birthday Navneeth! ❤️

OVERDUE Q&A TIME! 🙈

For the last few weeks, we've been at home in Bangalore - its been super quiet - long story, but we kinda needed this. Now that season three has wrapped up, we're eager to finally make that long-overdue video where we answer your questions!

We got a few questions on a community post sometime ago, and we'll answer those too. And if you have any more questions on your mind and want to ask us, please add them as comments below or send us a message on Instagram! 😃


And thanks for sticking with us! 👫🏻

HAPPY NEW YEAR! 🥳

Thank you for making our 2024 so amazing. We've finally made it to the southernmost country on this journey (in season 3, that began in Nairobi, Kenya in March 2024) and we could NOT have done it without your kindness!

You spent valuable time with us: watching along, commenting, sending us encouraging messages and so much more! This made all the challenges worthwhile and pushed us to keep going!

Here's to an even wilder ride in 2025! We look forward to you coming along 🤗

Two weeks since we last uploaded a vlog, and a lot has happened - some not so good and some exciting!

We made one of our hardest journeys yet over the last few days and just arrived in the first city of a new country last evening. Got a sim card, some internet and sharing this update here - we received messages from some very worried folks here.

Honestly, this journey took us through some of our toughest life moments testing our resolve and purpose, and pushing us to the edge of safety.

We will try to share what happened, in the next vlog (Shish is working on it right now).

Thanks for sticking with us - it means a lot 🙌🏼

Hello everybody! 😄

The last three weeks have been crazy! After exploring Rwanda, we crossed the border to visit the next country in the neighborhood. It was not easy, given the complicated visa process and the ongoing situation in there. Internet was also a bit of an issue and that's why we didn't upload videos for two weeks (we're sorry!).

But we truly loved every minute we spent in that country - even if it was a very short time. And the amazing experiences off camera! We're back in Kigali, Rwanda now for a short stop to edit the videos and catch up on some rest. Just want to say thanks for sticking around and waiting for us!

In our recent vlog, we asked you about changing the channel's name and we got a few responses. So to narrow it down, which name do you feel is best for the channel? 😅

Hello everybody! We're so sorry 🙈 we could not upload any videos since last week because of Internet issues once we went out from Nairobi. We just got back to the city and got wifi again, so we quickly uploaded our next vlog - its coming up in 30 minutes!

This photo is from what we were upto over the last few days. Can you guess what it was? 😅

Thanks a lot you guys! 🙌🏼 yesterday was an important milestone 👫🏻

Two years ago, we had no clue how this would turn out - we didn't think anyone would enjoy coming with us on our journey.. this dream! Some of you amazing souls have been with us since the very beginning, some joined us recently and some of you along the way over the last 700+ days on the road. 😊

Truly, when you watch the videos and send us meaningful messages or comments - it makes a huge difference. Especially when we feel down and uninspired! 🥹

You matter to us more than you can imagine. We're super grateful for making it this far!

Hey everybody! 👋🏼

We're planning to do a Q&A video this week!

We did the first one back in 2022 during our South East Asia journey. Things have changed a lot since, and we thought it would be a good time to do another Q&A (especially since we explored a different part of the world in the last few months) 😊

Please send us your questions either by comment here, or email us on backpacksters@gmail.com, or DM us on our Instagram

Looking forward to a fun Q&A 🙌🏼
