Travels

“The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page” - St. Augustine

Myanmar

As a lesser-known travel destination, Myanmar remains very authentic. The locals are fervent believers of the Buddha, keeping pure hearts and leading simple lives.

Germany

Known for the richness of its history, Germany had been on my travel list ever since I set foot on Europe. Dressed in cool tones, it lives up to its ‘down-to-earth’ reputation. It is a great place to hunt for some amazing architecture too!

Poland

‘Never judge a book by its cover’ was a lesson I learnt having been to Poland. In my mind it registered itself as a desolated European town abreast of dark and sorrowful history, until I realised how alive I felt Krakow has made me.

London

3 years of student life still qualifies London as a travel destination to me. I couldn’t call it home because part of my heart is elsewhere, but it has been nothing short of spectacular.

Austria

Waking up to half-melted glaciers and the chill in the air was truly an experience. Luck had me catch the last of the winter snow, and be among the first witnesses of the beauty that has been dormant under the dazzling white blanket.

Czech Republic

The color of red seems to run across the veins of Czech - red trams, red tiles, red roofs. I had always felt an unfathomable mysterious wanderlust towards the city of Prague. But now I guess I know better about where the city’s secret lies.

Portugal

I went after natas and paellas, but came back with a wealth of stories and photos to share. Lisbon was full of melancholy, but incredibly sweet and passionate, all at the same time.

Italy

Pasta is one of the select foods I willingly put on pounds for. Quality is one thing; enjoying it at such affordable prices and before picturesque views is a total different ball game. Needless to say, the beauty in the architecture is timeless.
