Bitten by the travel bug!


“We live in a wonderful world that is full of beauty, charm and adventure. There is no end to the adventures we can have if only we seek them with our eyes open.” – Jawaharlal Nehru


If I go back in time and try to find one thing that I have always been passionate about, it will definitely be traveling. As a kid, it was a desire to go anywhere outside the house, growing up a little, it was anywhere outside the city I lived in, and finally reached a stage where I wanted to explore the whole world!

There was always this strong desire to see new places, meet new people and experience different cultures. The mysteries surrounding unknown places, places I have never been to before always intrigued me. So with this desire in heart, I grabbed every opportunity I got, to travel to someplace new. Most trips made spontaneously, while some with meticulous planning, but each trip left me with an enriching experience and a stronger desire to advent on yet another wonderful journey very soon.

The memories of these trips are something that I would love to preserve forever and in an attempt to do so, I start this blog. This is something I wished to start a few years back, but never really found the time to do so. Oh well! Its never too late! So here I am, with a mind full of memories, a hard drive full of pictures and an internet full of information attempting to put down my experiences into words, as best as I can!

Hope you enjoy this!

A quick Geo trivia about me:

  • I was born in Kolkata (West Bengal, India),
  • grew up in Mumbai (Maharashtra, India),
  • my husband is from Gandhinagar (Gujarat, India)
  • went to graduate school in Columbus (Ohio, USA),
  • got my first job in Albany (New York, USA),
  • then moved to settle in Sunnyvale (California, USA),
  • explored 10 different countries (India, USA, Germany, France, Italy, Switzerland, Czech Republic, Austria, Greece and Singapore), and
  • have a list of another 10 odd countries that I wish to visit!

and hence the blog title :-)
