Rohan Bopanna has travelled the world now due to his tennis and the Indian recently spoke about cities he loves and also the place he wants to go to! Speaking about the place he loves going back to, he said, “New York City.

There is something in the air which keeps taking me back. The city is always buzzing. In fact, even the heat wave at the US Open did not bother me too much, maybe because at the Asian Games, it was equally humid. In a way, that helped me get used to the heat there.” Thoughts about travelling solo, Bopanna assessed, “It would be wrong to say it wasn’t scary travelling solo for the first time, but there was a sense of freedom.

Travelling to South Korea was my first solo trip. I was curious to know about a new country and most importantly, being fully responsible for everything.” A trip he felt was out of his comfort zone, “I had gone to Uzbekistan for a tournament.

My flight landed at 2 am and there was no one from the organisers to pick me up. I saw a co-passenger waiting for his friend. I went up to him and asked if he knew a place where I could stay for the night and he offered to take me to a hotel.

Trusting someone randomly and hoping for the best takes one out of their comfort zone. Luckily for me, it all ended well.” A place on his mind to travel, “Mauritius for the wonderful beaches and reefs.
