First time saying hello 👋
In the first Mixster x Mixtapes edition, I'm introducing myself, seeking reader info, and sharing my hostel-finding guide!
Hello.
I'm Vipul – a backpacker, documentarian, and software engineer. I started Mixster 8 years ago on June 29th, 2018, to document my life.
This is the first time I'm reaching out through the Mixster x Mixtapes newsletter. You probably subscribed to hear from mixster.dev, or perhaps you stumbled across one of my posts somewhere in the depths of the internet.
Either way, welcome! I've introduced myself, I'm curious about you. Here are three prompts to reply with:
- Who are you really?
- If I got to be you for a day, what should I expect to see?
- What recently caused you pain?
I promise to reply to each response – I genuinely want to know who's reading this in the void.
I kicked off my birthday month strong by documenting my pragmatic way of finding the best hostels no matter the city.
If this format isn't your thing, it will change each week. Just like a mixtape, feel free to send in your thoughts on what should I be queueing up next.
Thanks for lending me your eyeballs,
Vipul
