Hi. 
I am
The Driving
Addict

a.k.a.
Akshay Varma

An entrepreneur by profession, I have travelled the length and breath of our country for work. But the wanderlust within me was never diminished.

As time wore on, I realised my passion lay in road trips and my wheels which took me on these memorable journeys. As I dug in deeper into history, I realised that my love for wheels wasn’t new; in fact the first car of our family, the Premier Padmini (Or Fiat as it’s popularly called in India) was bought by my father as I kept insisting that we needed one, and I was 4 years old at that time 🙂

Over the last 20 years, I have slowly moved through many cars and bikes. From hatchbacks to sedans, SUVs to 4X4s, Indian cruiser bikes to iconic British bikes, I have had my fair share of amazing cars and bikes, which have all taken me on amazing adventures creating memories for a lifetime.

Being a foodie and a staunch believer in staying and eating local, you will find several details about the food that I enjoy in my journeys. I also enjoy reviewing hotels (160+ reviews on Tripadvisor) and I include hotel reviews in all my blogs, to help fellow travellers.

The Driving Addict is my attempt to take you on my journeys and show you the world through my eyes. I hope that I will be able to show you the magic and wonderment that lies at the every corner and at the most unexpected of places.

So hop on and enjoy the journeys and the destinations through my blogs, pictures and videos.
