For a long time, I felt like my life was split into two worlds.
In one world, I was surrounded by screens, devices, apps and endless notifications. In the other, I was walking on mountain trails, listening to rivers, and watching clouds move slowly across the sky.
People often treated these two sides as opposites:
“If you love trekking and nature, you must hate technology.”
“If you are into gadgets and tech, you must live online all day.”
But my reality was different. I enjoyed both.
I could spend one day researching tools, apps, and digital systems, and the next day carrying a backpack through forests and rocky paths. Instead of choosing one side, I wanted to understand how both could support the same goal: living a more meaningful, balanced life.
That is how BitsBootsAndBeyond was born.
The name of this blog isn’t just a catchy title. It’s a philosophy.
Bits – These are the small units of the digital world. For me, this means technology, productivity tools, devices, automation, and everything that happens on the screen. The right tech can save you time, money and energy—if you use it intentionally.
Boots – These represent the physical journey: hiking, trekking, exploring new places, spending time in nature, and feeling the ground under your feet. Boots remind us that life is not just Wi-Fi signals and pixels; it is also mud, dust, wind and real air in your lungs.
Beyond – This is the deeper part of the story. It’s about mindset, self-discovery, discipline, minimalism, and the question: “What kind of life do I actually want to live?” Beyond is everything that doesn’t fit inside a screen or inside a backpack—but guides both.
BitsBootsAndBeyond is my attempt to connect all three.
If you decide to follow this blog, here’s what I plan to share:
1. Trekking Guides and Real ExperiencesI’ll write about trekking routes, gear, preparation tips, budgeting, mistakes, and lessons learned along the way. Not just “top 10 places to visit,” but real and honest experiences.
Nature has a quiet way of teaching us things. Sometimes a simple walk can reset the mind better than a thousand new apps. I’ll share short reflections, moments, and thoughts from the trail.
Tech doesn’t have to be confusing. I plan to cover apps, websites, tools, and digital habits that can help you:
Plan trips better
Stay organized
Learn new skills
Protect your privacy and security online
All explained in clear and simple language, without unnecessary jargon.
Most of us are not living 100% offline or 100% online. We are somewhere in between.
I want to talk about digital balance, productivity, focus, and mental clarity—how to use technology without letting it control you.
The internet is full of fast content: quick tips, short videos, and scrolling that never ends. I wanted to create a slower, more intentional space:
A place where an article can actually help you prepare for a trek, not just impress you for 10 seconds.
A place where tech is explained in a way that respects your time and attention.
A place where you feel inspired to go outside, not just stay behind the screen.
Starting BitsBootsAndBeyond is my own reminder to:
Keep walking
Keep learning
Keep sharing
And to build a small community of people who feel the same.
