About Me and My travels

Ibn Battuta, the scholar and explorer once said: "Travelling - It leaves you speechless, then turns you into a storyteller". This quote inspired me to start this blog to share some of the stories and pictures of my travels. I hope it generates enough interest in the readers, so that they may embark on their own travels to see the different countries and cultures.

So when did this wanderlust begin?

Malawi

In the "Warm Heart of Africa", Malawi,. My father was an avid traveler and as a child we visited many countries surrounding Malawi such as Zambia, Zimbabwe, Tanzania, Kenya, Mozambique. There were visits to Victoria falls, Pristine beaches of Mozambique, sighting of Wild animals when travelling Across Tanzania and hearing the cackling of wild Hyena's in the back yard and more. Visit my Page "Travels in Africa" for more chills and thrills!

India

Then came my teenage years when I had moved to India for my secondary and higher education. Here we travelled the length and breadth of this huge and diverse country. Our travels took us to North India up to the foothills of the Himalayas to the southernmost tip of India called Kanyakumari. A visit to see the Taj Mahal in Agra is an absolute must. Another state worth visiting is Kerala. I was blown away with its lakes, spice gardens, and tea plantations. It is my most favorite place so take a look at my page called "Kerala, Gods own country" for more information.

The United States

After my college graduation I migrated to the U.S. which is now my country of residence. What a huge and beautiful country and it offers a huge diversity of climate, geography, food and people. It is too big of a country to see all corners of it, but the challenge is irresistible. Travel within the U.S. requires a combination of flying and driving if you want to cover a lot of territory. You can of course use the rail system if you have the time. More of my travels in my page "Visit USA and have fun"

The Rest of the World

"But, wait there is more". With the urge to see more of the world and its cultures we visited the following countries: Canada, Mexico, Jamaica, United Kingdom, France, Nederland's, Portugal, China, Hong Kong, Switzerland, Dubai, Singapore, Bali, New Zealand, Australia. Now that's a lot of airline mileage! Each country has its own charms but there are some that just blow you away.

Watch for my blogs on Singapore, New Zealand, Portugal.
