A film by Hari M. Mohanan.

65-year old tea seller Vijayan and his wife Mohana (who had never traveled outside of her home town of Ernakulam, Kerala before her marriage) have been to 16 countries and across most of India. Every three years or so, after paying off loans and saving a little money (at the rate of a few dollars a day) the couple shuts down their tea stall (their only source of income) and sets off for another destination in the world. Friends and relatives think they are mad for spending so much money that could be put to better use. But, as Vijayan says, “If money is our only concern we will not be able to do anything. We have only one life to do everything, you can’t create extra time for it." Sit back and savor this beautiful film that captures Vijayan and Mohana's dreams and philosophy of life.

    I loved this video and the comments that followed! Seems to me we could start a movement, an exchange program for adults who want to travel and those who want to meet them or host them!

    Yes! Here's to the riches of travel. And knowing one does not need to be rich to travel. I have traveled even while living under poverty level; I lived on peanut better and the cheapest foods I could find. I made many sacrifices so that I could spend my money of a plane ticket. I was fortunate to couch surf across Europe and in Colombia, Peru, Kenya, Ghana and Haiti. for the hosting, I traded stories. I am a Storyteller, after all. May everyone experience the beauty of travel and learning about other cultures. It is when we know each other that our fears dissipate and our hearts open further. Hugs from my heart to yours, Kristin

    We can find thousands of reasons if we do not want to do something, but if we are really passionate about what we want, we can always find the ways and the means. Live for today!!

    First and foremost Vijayan and Mohana love for each other is the main ingredient for all of the subsequents events as they unfolds. Their unselfish commit6ment to each other has enable them to triumph over what seem to most of us as in surmountable odds. From what I observed these two indiveduals respected each other to the point that their dream sharing both motivated as well as fueled every chapter of their personal conquests."The Power Of Love" is surely manifested.

    This Tea Seller's life is a real movie, he has identified a journey he wants to go on and is pursuing it no matter his circumstances. Everyone has that potential. It's our experiences that continue to live with us. That's the gold we get to carry on. Thank you for reminding me about that.
