What is this site about?
Hi, I’m Sonal. Back in 2015, Drifter Planet started as a travel blog with a purpose of sharing my travel photos and tips, but over time it has transformed into a full fledged travel website.
Over the past decade, I have moved countries and my travel style has changed drastically.
Back in 2017, I moved to Germany. So while I was living in Europe, I loved exploring iconic European cities, beaches and national parks. So frequently wrote articles with my best tips, information and itineraries for traveling in this continent.
In 2025, I moved from Germany back to India (Goa) but I still continue to spend at least 2 months in Europe.
My way of traveling has evolved from fast paced travel to Yoga travel. I’m a full time Yoga teacher so I make sure I visit destinations where I can pactice Yoga regularly (not just asana, but also meditation, pranayama, etc).
Also, my way of traveling is not to just visit a place to check it off the list. I try to get my way of getting my best travel experience of that place.

So what’s that like? I like viewpoints, affordable local food, room with a view, good coffee, best photo spots, sunset spots, and just some little things that make my visit extra special. And yes, that’s exactly the kind of stuff I share in my destination guides on my website.
