From 50+ Countries to Viral Adventures: How One Woman Redefined Travel Content Creation
Ankita Kumar, better known as @monkey.inc on Instagram, celebrates 10 incredible years of solo travel and storytelling in 2025. With over 50 countries under her belt, Ankita has built a travel brand that stands out for its raw, unfiltered content and deep-rooted authenticity. Her fearless journeys and honest voice have made her one of India’s most relatable and trusted travel content creators.
What makes Ankita unique is her self-coined “Robin Hood approach” to travel. She collaborates with top brands and uses those earnings to fund trips to offbeat, often dangerous destinations—hoping to spotlight hidden places that deserve global attention. Her content doesn’t just showcase pretty sunsets; it dives into culture shocks, illness, missed flights, and even war zones, all shared with honesty and grit.
Ankita’s journey began in 2015 with just a two-night hotel booking in Hanoi, Vietnam. That trip turned into a month-long soul-searching experience and marked the beginning of her life on the road. One of her most adventurous feats includes a four-month solo backpacking trip across South America—proof of her fearless spirit and love for the unknown.
Her storytelling goes beyond Instagram aesthetics. Ankita is driven by human connection, empathy, and the desire to give a voice to untold stories. Her work has been featured by BBC Travel, on billboards across India, and in publications like Outlook Traveller, cementing her as a trailblazing travel influencer in the digital space.

For her, this 10-year milestone isn’t an end—it’s a new beginning. The journey continues, and the next chapter promises even more impactful, boundary-pushing adventures.
