When The Indigo Ninjas written by Priyanka became one of the most read articles on Ameya’s aviation blog, we decided that it was time to have a separate blog for travel and food experiences from our escapades to 30 unique countries then. On the other side of pandemic, there is a new trooper in our family with the country count being four for Vallari, our young trooper, 32 for Priyanka, and 34 for Ameya, covering over 45 UNESCO world heritage sites and umpteen food adventures.

The list of reasons for not doing this earlier is probably as big as our bucket list of places to visit but finally when we decided to get this monkey off our back a new reason came up for not doing it. What will be the name of the blog?

What’s in a name? Everything! Only after our trip to the Baltics did we agree on a name – ScoopTroopers. Scoop to denote the food and scoop also for a story; and Trooper – a reliable person. The search for name was an exercise where our creativity or the lack of it was in abundance. Probably worth a blog post in itself.

We will definitely like to hear feedback from our readers and would be happy to share experiences. From Mexico to Vietnam and Russia to Indonesia – you can read some of our adventures here.

Hope you enjoy reading the blog as much as we enjoy writing it! Please use the contact us section to get in touch with us.
