Archana Vijaya

OT You&rsquove explored India by train. How was the experience
Archana Vijaya It has been amazing. I have travelled a lot on Indian trains and the journeys have been very heart-warming. While travelling on the train you get a chance to imbibe all the culture and colour of a place. I have travelled to Delhi many times but never knew Hauz Khas ruins existed. Also while travelling for the IPL, discovered there were teen Darwajas in Ahmedabad.

OT How was hosting IPL in the UAE different from India
Archana Vijaya The good part was that there wasn&rsquot too much of travel. I was based in Dubai, so Sharjah was about 30 minutes away and Abu Dhabi was about one-and-a half hours. Back in India, I travel every alternate day. The major difference of IPL in UAE was that the Indian fans were missing. The Indian tadka was evidently absent.

OT The most adventurous activity you have done so far
Archana Vijaya The most adventurous activity was in Africa. I did skydiving where I had to jump off a plane. I was so scared to do it but it was quite exciting, too

OT What do you hate about holidays
Archana Vijaya I don&rsquot like structured holidays. Too planned holidays are not something which I fancy. Instead a free-flowing holiday is always preferred. I like to do what I want to at the spur of the moment.

OT The weirdest thing that you&rsquove ever eaten while travelling
Archana Vijaya It has to be ostrich meat. It was pretty weird. I hadn&rsquot eaten anything like that before.

OT Are you a beach person or mountain lover
Archana Vijaya I am definitely a beach person. I also enjoy different landscapes. My phone wallpaper is one such scenic landscape.

Archana Vijaya My friends are the best travelling companions&hellip It&rsquos a blast with them, its unlimited fun guaranteed.

OT Things you don&rsquot forget to pack
