Sharing authentic travel experiences from 120+ countries
Welcome to my world of real travel stories, practical guides, and honest insights. I'm here to help you discover the world beyond the tourist trail.
I believe travel should be authentic, not perfect. My goal isn't to show you picture-perfect moments, but to give you the real story – the challenges, the surprises, the cultural learning moments, and yes, the mistakes too.
Travel: The Soul of My Journey
A story that began with childhood dreams and encyclopedias
Childhood Dreams
Since I was a little girl barely five or six, I remember being enchanted by the world beyond my window. I would often ask my mother when she'd get my passport made, and she'd lovingly reply, "Only if you're a good girl, do well in school, and stay focused in sports, only then you will get a passport." I believed her with all my heart, and with childlike sincerity, I did my very best in every way I could to get one.
Back then, encyclopaedias were my windows to the world outside, pages that transported me to lands far away, igniting my curiosity and wonder.
Divine Kindness
God has been incredibly kind. First, it was my parents who opened the doors to travel, taking me across continents and sowing the seeds of wanderlust. Then came my husband, my companion in exploration, whose love for discovering new places matched mine. Together, we've created a mosaic of beautiful and unforgettable memories across the globe.
Soul's Expression
Being from a creative field, I found my soul's expression in photography. Through the lens, I began to see the world not just as a traveller, but as a seeker of stories, textures, emotions, and light. Travel soon became more than just a passion, it became my way of life, my greatest teacher.
It taught me lessons no book ever could: empathy without language, resilience through unfamiliarity, and the joy of cultural exchange.
My Travel Philosophy
Every journey uplifts my spirit. I feel most alive, most free, and most connected to something greater than myself when I'm on the go. To me, Mother Earth is the ultimate masterpiece, a divine gift to mankind, where the scenery shifts with every mile and each culture adds its own rhythm to the symphony of life.
Travel, for me, isn't an escape—it gives me a sense of belonging. I consider this entire world as my home. And over the years, I've meticulously logged every itinerary, every nuance, and every story, so I can share this treasure trove of experiences with others.
"Because the more we explore, the more we realise: though borders may define geography, it is our shared humanity that unites us all."
