Rohit Khubchandani is not just another travel content creator—he’s a storyteller, a cultural bridge, and a voice for authentic exploration. Based in Dubai, Rohit is a licensed social media creator and award-winning travel influencer, with a thriving community of over 100,000 followers across Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, Facebook, and LinkedIn.

Rohit was recently honored with the Influencer Magazine Award (E2) for Travel Influencer of the Year, a recognition that firmly established him as one of the leading voices in the travel space. That same year, his work earned him a spot on the world’s biggest stage—featured on the Times Square billboard in New York City—a moment that symbolized how far his journey of passion and persistence had taken him.

Rohit’s brand, Licensed to Explore, goes beyond travel reels and destination snapshots. His content weaves together cinematic storytelling, personal reflections, cultural insights, and practical travel hacks that help people not only dream about travel but also experience it more meaningfully. Through his podcast of the same name, he brings in a diverse lineup of guests—entrepreneurs, artists, creators, and adventurers—creating a space for authentic conversations about life on the road and lessons learned through exploration.

From nightlife hotspots in the Middle East to hidden corners of Europe, from street food stalls in Southeast Asia to the vast deserts of North Africa, Rohit continues to prove that travel is not just about places—it’s about people, connections, and stories.

What type of content do you specialize in creating, and what core themes drive your work?

Rohit Khubchandani: As a global nomad and licensed content creator, I specialize in immersive travel, lifestyle, and nightlife content under my brand Licensed to Explore. Across Instagram Reels, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts, I share solo-cast videos with personal travel stories, smart travel hacks, and destination tips—all rooted in firsthand experiences. I also create long-form vlogs and destination reviews, which balance inspiration with practical guidance.

Beyond solo content, I host the Licensed to Explore podcast where I talk with well-traveled guests from diverse backgrounds—entrepreneurs, artists, adventurers, and fellow creators. We dive into their journeys, life lessons, and the transformative power of travel. At the heart of everything I create is one mission: to inspire curiosity, connection, and courage in everyone who dreams of exploring life beyond the ordinary.

What inspired you to enter travel content creation, and what continues to drive you?

Rohit Khubchandani: Once a traveler, always a traveler. For me, travel isn’t just a holiday—it’s a way of life. I’ve always believed in the mantra: Live as if you’ll die tomorrow, learn as if you’ll live forever. Each journey, each conversation, and each captured moment shapes how I see the world and how I share it with my audience.

What started as a passion has now become a calling. Through Licensed to Explore, I’ve had the privilege to capture not just postcard-perfect images but also unfiltered, real stories. Whether it’s sipping Moroccan tea under desert skies, hunting for the best street food in Southeast Asia, or discovering quiet corners of European towns, I’m reminded why I started: to show that the best stories are the ones we live, and the ones we dare to tell.
