“Nature, children, travel, the ganges and cosmic intelligence are my teachers,” Vibha
Shukriyasafar: A journey for and of gratitude, using currency of trust.
Vibha is pursuing her dream of spreading the joy of gratitude, that encompasses peace, positivity and happiness.
Vibha started ‘Shukriyasafar’ and such road trips in 2011, to spread the joy gratitude by offering the GRATITUDE JOYSHOPS, random acts of kindness and plant saplings to offset her carbon footprint. The Joyshops (2 hours) is hosted by schools, colleges, families, companies, NGOs, etc. She has offered 250+ Gratitude Joyshops, in more than ten countries, including India.
Having undertaken six such mini road trips, she is all set to embark upon pan India journey over four months in 2026. She would also collect stories of gratitude, optimism and compassion as lived by people. Currently using a petrol vehicle, she aspires to go carbon neutral by using a hybrid/electric vehicle. People can join her in hop on-hop off mode, for specific stretches. After doing pan India, she intends to cross borders and travel across other countries.
Currency of Trust: Anchored in the concept of trust, it means that there is no price tag on the ‘Joy of Gratitude’ joyshop. It is offered in the currency of trust, i.e., you offer what your heart calls to, one rupee or one lakh rupees, no judging and no snide remarks will be made, about who paid how much. Vibha believes that she inhabits a universe that is friendly and that she is well taken care of by the Mother. The amount will be used for petrol, boarding, lodging, vehicle maintenance and for philnathropic activities of her non-profit TaraSri Foundation.
