Our Story

Hello & Welcome to Couple of Steps! We are Pavan & Chaicy, an Indian-Australian couple with an absolute passion for travel.

We’ve started this blog as a visual diary to document and share our moments/memories with friends and family and later someday to look back on. We cherish our vacations both far and near, all while climbing the corporate ladder.

While we are inspired by the full-time travellers, selling our belongings to go, full nomad, is not our scene. As much as we like to squeeze in an adventure with every chance we get, we also love coming back home to our cosy couch and binge-watch our favourite series.

It’s a wonderful world out there waiting to be discovered, and hoping that our journal inspires you to set out and blaze your own trail!

About Pavan

Hey, I am Pavan – born & raised as an Engineer in Bangalore and moved to Sydney in 2019. I like travelling as much as anyone else, but I have always enjoyed the journey more than the destination. I enjoy the process of meticulous planning before a trip, and to me, it is as exciting as the travel itself. My first international trip wasn’t until I was 29, and the first time I picked up a camera was when I turned <ahem> 32. Since then, I have been hooked to both – besides my lovely wife, of course!

Here in Couple of Steps, I contribute with web design, photography and travel writing.

About Chaicy

Hey, I am Chaicy – born & raised in India who now calls Australia home. The one who is always planning the next trip. My biggest inspiration was my dad, who organised regular trips and one big vacation every year. I was always intrigued by his collection of travel-related newspaper clippings and forever wanted to explore them all. My first international trip was a surprise planned by my dad, and that’s where I caught the travel bug. Since then, travelling has not only been something that I do, but it has been something that has become a part of me.

Here in Couple of Steps, I contribute with photography editing, travel planning and social media management.
