Fox traveller Diaries | Let the place you visit surprise you, MEC's Zubin Tatna
Fox Traveller Diaries caught up with Zubin Tatna, National Director, Planning, MEC to witness travel his way. For him, travelling is all about meeting new people, eating different kinds of food and getting soaked in some culture/ history. A strong believer of the fact that No planning makes the trip wonderful, Tatna loves going back to London anytime. Also he is strongly in the favour of being ‘Just Me’ while travelling and flowing with the tide and not insisting on having everything his way can make his any journey full of fun and frolic.
