Chalukya Mohanraj and Rashmi Pandit shifted to Switzerland on 31st December 2014 as Chalukya Mohanraj was offered  a onsite opportunity, Their daughter Chhavi Chalukya was just 6 months old. This couple is very passionate about traveling and had already explored Ladakh, Jammu & Kashmir, Delhi, Agra, Rajasthan, Karnataka and Kerala in India.

It was their love for travelling that din’t end after moving to Switzerland, Instead they travelled 15 different countries in just 1 year with their daughter who was only 6 months old when they started their journey.

Rashmi has quit her job after 7 years of experience to give priority to her personal life and enjoy her motherhood.  Travelling with a 6 month old baby is very difficult but this couple made it look very easy by pre-booking all the tickets and passes to save time and avoid waiting in queues. They booked apartments in all cities with well-equipped kitchens to help cook food for baby and had to be back to rooms by dusk, hence no late night tour plans or no night journeys.

Lets have a look at their journey to 15 countries in 1 year
