Travels

Don’t you think it would be wonderful to get rid of everything and everybody and just go someplace where you don’t know a soul? 

I admit that I started travelling quite late. Nevertheless the Traveller Me is content to have atleast gone out of my comfort zone on travels with unknown folks (in a group, yet solo). At an age where my facebook news feeds are full of pre-wedding shoots, videos of just married, honeymoon holidays, baby showers and tiny tots first day at play school; my mind is on exploring new places and involving into the local culture. Having completed my first solo trip to Leh Ladakh: the thirst for travelling has intensified, the thirst for making new friends in an unknown crowd has intensified, the thirst for testing my level of endurance in a different climate has intensified. Hope I keep adding more stories to this page, cutting a slice of time from my corporate life.
