The IDEA.
The aim of this blogging site is to bring to you the experiences that the two of us had while traveling. Some good, some bad, but all memorable. These experiences gained through travel have shaped the way we look at the world. For us traveling is not a hobby, it is a diploma aimed at understanding what life is really about. By sharing our experiences, we hope to inspire more people to get out of their daily schedule and make some memories which they can cherish forever.
Our life is too short and the world is too big, so pick up you bagpack, get into your traveling shoes and make the best out of your life.
Who are WE?
We are a team of two in our late 20’s. You will get to know us more through our blogs. Here is some information about us to start off.
Rakhi
Hi, by profession, I am a Research Scholar in Germany. I am from the state of Haryana in India. I love travelling and experiencing new things. I am constantly searching for new activities that I can pursue. Apart from travelling I like to read, dance, click photographs, and do all that I have not done before. My major contribution to this site are the photographs and the conceptualisation of the blogs (and of course, the creation of the memories that we share with you). Happy reading.
Lokesh Verma
Hi there, I am a researcher by profession currently residing in France. I belong to the beautiful state of Uttarakhand in India. Travelling made a place in my heart in 2014 and I have been living the best life since. I love to read and learn about different things. I can express more by writing than by speaking. Apart from other responsibilities, I am the official google map navigator during our trips 😉 My major contributions to this site are writing the blogs, editing the photographs and managing the site. Happy reading.
The Vision
In the six years of our travelling experience so far, we have had the opportunity to visit more than 15 countries + several states in India (which are larger than some countries). We got to see different cultures, different landscapes, different people. We had so many experiences, some bad but mostly good. Even the bad experiences taught us so much. We have seen a change in our personalities and our attitude towards things in life. You learn so much from a trip, starting from the very planning and bookings, to coping with unforeseen circumstances, to making decisions on the fly, to managing time schedules. We feel that whatever one learns in life can be experienced during a trip and that experience makes up better understand the learning.
Through this blogging site, we want to inspire you to pursue travelling. The purpose is not to tell you about what to do in a city and what not to, that you will have to find for yourself. Everyone has a different experience while travelling. The purpose is to share with you our experiences, good and bad, and to motivate you to make your memories through your experiences.
We will continue to make new memories through travelling and share them with you and hope that you will do the same.
Happy reading and happy travels!!!
