Maps and Metaphors
Travel Stories & Podcast
Stories in every frame.
We’re Pranav & Palak — a travel-loving tech duo, raised on chai ☕ and now pairing cheese 🧀 with curiosity.
After exploring 29+ countries, we realized we weren’t just following maps — we were collecting metaphors, moments, and conversations that made us pause.
That's how Maps and Metaphors sparked, and this space is basically our way of slowing down, sharing stories, and building a small, thoughtful corner of the internet.

📍 Maps and Metaphors - Our Kind of Different
It’s a shared space — for curious souls, travelers, accidental philosophers, and snack-loving nerds.
It’s not quite a vlog, not just a podcast — it’s something in between.
- We talk to strangers, friends, locals — anyone with a story that makes you stop and think.
- The microphone is always packed. And so are the snacks.
- If you're into soul-led adventures, curious voices, and creative detours — welcome home.
- We believe in slow travel, deep listening, and making tech work for storytelling, not the other way around.
We’re still new here — learning as we go, sharing as we grow. Your thoughts, suggestions, or just a friendly hello mean a lot. 💬
