#SRINIONTOUR – BACKGROUND & INSIGHTS #SriniOnTour – The theme for this started on an
impromptu, on the spur of the moment trip to Goa, way back in March 2008. Hop Skip & Jump is the vision, mission for any trip that we take for #SriniOnTour. Rugged travels, backpacking our way across the country is what this is all about. More destinations, less comfort. More madness, less luxury. More dreams, less reality… That is what #SriniOnTour stands for.
For the first time around, there’s going to be a full-fledged social media experiment, a blogumentary and travelogue that #SriniOnTour will cover. A well researched, documented and a completely real-time print/web media experience for hard core travel fans and followers of #SriniOnTour
