Spontaneity, they say, is key to keeping the spark alive. But when you’re saddled with the harsh realities of life (like getting visas, travel documents, etc.) it kinda kills the magic. Planning a honeymoon can be more stressful than planning the wedding itself.
So when Conde Nast released this handy list of visa-free travel destinations for Indians, I felt that it should go right up here (also very useful if you’re planning a surprise, ‘spontaneous’ Valentine’s Day holiday). Make the most of it folks!
