RAKSHAY DHARIWAL AND RADHIKA DHARIWAL
The brother-sister duo launched India’s
first speakeasy, PCO, five years ago and
haven’t looked back since. While Radhika
is a published children’s book author,
Rakshay enjoys nothing more than a night
in with Netflix. They’ve grown up in
different parts of the world and studied in
Australia, South Africa, Hungary, Philippines,
Singapore, and the United States, besides
India. They believe travel is their continuing
education and emerging trends from around
the world help them up bring
their A-game to the table.RECOMMENDATIONS Belgian pork belly

DREAM CITY Hanoi. “It has one of the
richest street food cultures in the world,
as well as beautiful, French-colonial
restaurants, and the Vietnamese food
is fresh and bold.”
A HOLIDAY TO REMEMBER “The family
holiday to the Ngorongoro crater in Tanzania.Standing at the edge of an 8,000-square-
kilometre volcanic crater was breathtaking.
That holiday, we saw 24 lions in a day,
and woke up with a leopard outside our tent.”
TRAVEL RULE “We always travel with
an additional suitcase, an international
driving license, and dinner reservations
at popular restaurants made months
in advance.”
