Asking overprotective desi parents to let you travel internationally is one of the hardest things in life. Trust us, been there, done that, still doing it.

And if you're a woman, the struggle is real.

But travel blogger Anam Hakeem, who goes by the name Girl With Green Passport, has some on how you can convince your parents. These aren't just a couple of tips, there are a total of six, because Anam knows how difficult it is to get desi parents to budge.

Wish we wouldn't have to lobby for our right to travel as grown adults but it's unfortunately the way it is.

Here's how you can try your luck

This is a no-brainer. Don't choose a time when your parents aren't in a good mood, either because of you or other factors. Their mood will affect their decision and it's best to make sure they're happy with you before you approach them. Don't rush into asking them for permission. It's best to be on the safe side.
