TRAVEL

Of all the hobbies I have, travelling is my favorite. It has become part of my life, right from my college days. I don’t just mean the vacation and fun trips that I go. It is more, and mostly includes commuting from places to places for studies and job. I have never been able to stay at a place fixed for more than a year. Wherever I am, I also make it a point to visit home whenever I can.

So that means, I am mostly by myself in trains and buses. No, not so boring as you think. You get to learn a lot in a train (I prefer trains over buses). I have made some amazing connections and the longest one is 12 years old now. Wow! Time does fly fast.

But other than that, I love visiting places. I like it all, the history, architecture, culture, people, art, nature and everything.

Do you travel alone or with friends? I prefer it in groups. Need at-least one to accompany. And smaller the group, so much are the things I can do (or I need big groups with same vibe, which is little hard to find). It is the people who we travel with create memories. Be it the ones who you start your journey with or the ones that join you on the way.

And what do you all think about solo trips? I go solo when I want to figure what turn my life is taking, when I want to make some decisions, when I want to clear my mind and when I want some space. I find it to be a wonderful way of reconnecting me with myself. Try sometime, if you are not into it yet.

What comes to your mind when you hear travel? How often do you travel? What are your favorite places? Why do you want to travel? Are you a Solo Traveller? or Whom do you like to travel with? What are your most weird travel experiences? Do you plan it in advance, or you just go when you feel like it? Want to share, drop a mail. I would love to hear.
