I am, what you may call, a late bloomer as far as traveling is considered. I really started heading out only in 2015 after the devastating earthquake in Nepal, as a volunteer in one of the rehabilitation teams. It is only then that I realized the "higher calling", living off a rucksack, instead of a trolley bag; not demeaning the spirit of tourists at all, on the contrary, they are the ones who are providing a lot of livelihood to folks around the globe!
I am gonna use this blog to recount my transcendence from a typical urban dweller with a 7-day routine life, to a trotter, and with that essence, I would also like to invite everyone to take a step towards a road-sign which points to somewhere you have never been to, and then one more step across that sign in that direction.
The incoming posts should answer a few of the basic "How to..." and "Why to..." questions regarding the places I visit during my escapades, either solo, or in the company of some good souls. This is going to be more of a personal travel journal for now, but I would definitely like my fellow travelers to share their experiences as well if they feel like! Please feel free to correct/update me if I miss/misrepresent anything.
P.S. Most of the photographs here are clicked on my 3 year old Moto G (1st Gen) android smartphone, so please ignore the lack of crystal clarity, as I intend to invest more on my trips than my gadgets 👅
