7 years ago, today, I went on my first solo trip. Agreed, it was a partial one where I was solo in just two cities out of ten, but it was a HUGE step for me, nevertheless. One I will never forget, especially because of the lessons I learned. The biggest lesson was that when you are doing something for the first time, you need to give yourself space and allow yourself to make mistakes. You need to learn to forgive yourself, because how could you have known? This is what I’ve told myself over the past 7 years and though I know I probably will make more mistakes, I also know this: I won’t make those same mistakes again.

A Big Bite Of The Big Apple – New York City Nostalgia!
When I made plans to visit the United States of America in 2015, there was one city that I was going to include in my schedule, come hell or high water. A city so famous for its rush hours, the attractions, its culture, and most importantly, its roadside food!

And now, New York City owns me, heart and soul!
A Walk in the Woods by Bill Bryson | Book Review
I bought Bill Bryson’s A Walk in the Woods in March 2018 and read it in August 2018, which is a miracle, to be honest. I usually don’t get excited about nonfiction books. But somehow, A Walk in the Woods inexplicably pulled me towards it. Maybe because it is travel-related that I was so excited to start reading this book. It is saying something when just 2 pages in, I fell in awe with the man called Bill Bryson. In just one paragraph, he explains what the problem with the modern world is without actually putting a finger on it.
Miami Beach – Of Sparkly Sands and Excruciating Tans | Travelogue
The moment I set foot in Miami, I understood why so many Americans go there. It’s sunny and is very generous in the darkening of the skin cells that are clamoring not to be modified. But that’s completely off the point. Miami is a beauty in itself, once you get past the stuffy atmosphere and the lurking uneasiness that you feel as a result of the stuffiness.
Travel Diaries of a Pondicherry Fanatic!
Pondicherry is tiny. You can finish touring it in 2 days if you rush. But we had decided to have a relaxed trip. So over 4 days, we explored the beach town from almost every corner and returned satisfied. And despite the relaxation, there was the general tiredness that comes with traveling.
