Forty-five countries and counting. Kavirajan P.K., a sexagenarian from Ambalappuzha in Alappuzha, consumed by wanderlust, is busy globetrotting to discover and experience the world first hand.
Kavirajan, who made his first foreign trip to Saudi Arabia in 1979, which was job-related, became an inveterate traveller only a few years ago. “I started travelling widely in 2019 and made the majority of the trips in the past two years after disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. I have so far visited 45 countries in Asia and Europe, sometimes joined by my wife Sulochana, and on other occasions travelling solo or in groups,” says Mr. Kavirajan.
An optometrist, Kavirajan runs an optical store in Ambalappuzha and spends for travel from his life savings. “I am running 69 and these travels are the fruits of my labour,” he says.
