Hello wonderful people and happy Sunday! I woke up feeling real good this morning. It could be because it’s Sunday, or because we have amazing (rainy) weather, or simply because today is the anniversary of my maiden trip to Kashmir, Leh, Ladakh in 2013. If I call Paris my teenage crush, then Kashmir is definitely my first love! I undoubtedly have the travel bug, I fall in love with places in an instant. I was 8 years old when I first discovered the beauty of Kashmir while participating in an art project. It was on my travel list for a long time before I finally got the chance to…
Hello happy travelers! What is that one activity which you love to engage in when you travel? All of us explore different interests during our trips – sightseeing tours, adventure sports, extravagant shopping or local shows and entertainment. But there is one travel experience which everyone loves – the excitement of trying local cuisines! Food is one of the top ranked travel experiences – after all, why wouldn’t one want to try authentic meals and flavors when traveling to a new destination?

I recently stumbled across these delightful city illustrations from the Tokyo Illustrators Society and am craving a trip to New York again!

I know what you are thinking – why am I writing about manifestos today? A manifesto sounds like a very serious term, something that we would associate more with politics and less with travel. Loosely defined, a manifesto means a public declaration of intentions and views of an individual or group. However, having a manifesto need not be restricted to just political parties or people; one can establish intentions for any facet of their life! These days, people come up with plenty of interesting manifestos focusing on different themes such as health and nutrition, spirituality, mindful living, specific hobbies like travel and other activities connected with their lives.

Location: Google Hyderabad Date: 22 June 2015 Aloha folks and Happy Monday! I have an interesting update for you today. The beginning of this year, I felt like all my travel plans were jinxed. Every trip I planned would fall apart and this continued until the Paris trip came along in May. I seem to have finally broken this jinx and am back to jet-setting around the world! I am traveling all of this week within India and will conclude the trip in one of my all time favorite cities – Mumbai (very similar to New York)! As much as I hate to do this, I won’t be able…
