The Traveller Behind The 100 Countries Club
Hi,
I am Tarang Bansal
I am a geopolitical nerd, an obsessive planner, and a deeply curious person who genuinely believes one lifetime is too short for this planet. My mission is simple- when any Indian wants to travel abroad, I want to be their first and last stop for information, inspiration, and honest advice.
100 countries isn't a number. It's a statement. Nature drew no borders- countries are a political idea, a beautiful way to divide and explore the world in chunks. When you've traveled 100 distinct ones, you've essentially witnessed what this earth has to offer in one lifetime. That's what I'm chasing.
No divine force is going to give you the experience that nature and the people of this earth can. So go.

My Story
I was never interested in surface level travel
I have always been the most curious person in every room I've been in. Every topic, every place, every culture- I want to understand it completely. I believe my love for travel is just an extension of my curiosity
Here's what nobody tells you before your first international trip — people everywhere are remarkably similar. Different food, different language, different street signs — but the same warmth, the same humour, the same generosity from strangers. Travel doesn't make the world feel bigger. It makes it feel like home.
Before This, I Was Building Something Else
After my MBA from IIM Ahmedabad, I joined Wipro Consumer Care in Bangalore as a Brand Manager- a role I genuinely enjoyed. Then I left to start Cape Nutrition, a ready-to-make smoothie brand focused on everyday nutrition. It ran for over a year before we wound it down.
Standing at that crossroads, I had two choices. Go back to a high-paying job. Or finally listen to what people had been telling me for years- that I give the best travel advice, that I should be on camera, that I should start a channel.
In October 2025, I chose the second path. I haven't looked back
And the journey continues...
