They are from different culture and races; yet we can relate with them. Those that travel tend to share a mutual eros for life, zeal to try new things, an open mind and an addiction to learning the unknown. It’s likely that the friends we meet on our travels share that same curiosity and itch. Throughout our lives ‘catch ups’ with these friends are always the best kind – planning another adventurous holiday that your friends at home would never dream of booking, having yet another crazy and impulsive night out, exploring your local city with a mindset of a traveler and in simple turns – making the very most out of life!

When we travel we free ourselves, to an extent of the past. Our 9 to 5
job, our habits, limitless expectations of what we are to become are
left with our friends and family at home. To leaves these things behind
and meet new people; this is probably my favorite reason to travel
abroad. I truly believe that one has so much to learn from people
belonging to different nationalities, cultures and religions, and
nothing compares to the feeling of establishing friendships across
borders.
I learned to be aware of other personal biases, style, preferences,
lens and focus. The importance of diversity in promoting tourism is
ranked among the first. It is a given fact that tourists choose a
certain destination for its uniqueness, special endowments, peace and
serenity. What makes a given destination even more alluring is the
customs and traditions of the people inhabiting it. Different people of
the world have their own distinct cultures and way of living that set
them apart from others. So what could be an ordinary part of daily life
for someone, might be a mysterious and awesome sight for someone else.
And it is this instinct in people to discover what is different and
strange that keeps tourism alive.

people are pretty

met a Sikh couple at Kartarpur. Such a lively people to talk to. They got emotional on visiting their Guru’s place after years ( That picture was taken a moment before they got emotive) 🙂

Despite what some people may assume, travel is not easy. We are
forced to navigate through unknown lands and say yes to things we may
have never had the confidence to do. Human beings naturally bond with
those that share a similar goal and with those that share the same
special moment – whether it be hiking the Falaksar in Pakistan,
interacting with Turkish people in local language, speaking English in
Thailand, searching for Noodle-free food in China. stumbling upon a
hidden beach or finding your way back to the hostel with no google maps
and a forgotten address. Together these moments will resonate with the
both of you forever.
Ops I forgot; had to tie up my shoe with Ferry pole so I could sleep
for a while. Can’t forget a ‘Barren Fort’ like Airbnb in Cappadocia :/
@ Cappadocia top - hope that Cup is still full coz I left as it is. Turkish tea is awesome. Don’t ever ask them for English milk tea :‑D
That telescope installed near Bosphorus reminds me of a character from Wall-E :‑D
Why on earth someone thought of making this. I’m sure everything in universe has some utility except this h alf -cut booby lad y statue installed at Sianji Well-Being Resort, Bodrum 😀
terrible AnirBNB experience – bad time - nasty weather – canceled ride Hot Air Balloon Cappadocia 🙁
On the way to Phiphi in a cruise ship, I had to tie up my shoes with a pole in basement while sleeping coz didn’t wanna see them roaming around
When we think of “traveling,” we think of a vacation: beach
resort sand and mouth watering local foods, or perhaps dreamy selfies
in a big exotic city. These imagninations are usually positive and
full of fun. Because that's what traveling is!
So what happens when
you go on a trip and don't feel all these warm fuzzy feelings? Did
you go to the wrong place? Did you do a horrible job at planning?
Does it mean you're somehow traveling “wrong”?
Not every second of
every trip is going to be all unicorns and rainbows. Travel is
unpredictable and confusing and sometimes downright messy. And if you
hit a rough day or find yourself in a less-than-positive mood, it
does NOT mean that you've failed as a traveler.
There are always
not-so-positive feelings that routinely crop up when we traveling –
all of which are completely normal and okay to feel when you're on
the road!
Let me open my eyes in this world – you running photographer.
Respect: tourists helping a sailor at Colombo seaside to start boat trip. I am at back making equal efforts 😛

Traveling takes us away from our routine environment, and the
external stressors that come with it. Getting a total change of
scenery can provide a sense of relief that frees the mind, allowing
one to tune in to what they really need
Travel gave me an
abundance of time to figure out what my anxiety triggers were and how
I could either avoid or overcome them in the future. Travel
challenged me to face the things that terrified and intimidated me
until I realized they were never as bad as I’d feared.
It helped me
relieving stress and improves overall well-being. Brought me many
psychological benefits from the change of venue to taking part in
different activities that allow the mind and body to reset and
de-stress.
One of the biggest
challenges that come with depression is mustering up the motivation
and/or energy to keep going. It can sometimes feel as if you’re
wearing cement blocks on your feet. But traveling provides the
inspiration we often need to make those cement blocks disintegrate as
we move on from one attraction to the next, and perhaps meet a few
inspirational people along the way. Both traveling and getting active
help to get those feel-good hormones triggered to boost the mood and
ease depression.

When
we're in that kind of childish space, we're more genuine and feel
more comfortable with friends.

Sorry guys for being causal here. Thanks Malindo for leg space 😉
This is not unusual to fall into bad food choices when traveling,
when suddenly it seems more convenient to rely on fast food and junk
instead of healthier alternatives. Not only is it terrible for our
health, especially when you’re travelling with kids, but it’s
also really hard on the bank account too! Travelling well is all
about planning ahead and that is absolutely the case when it comes to
making good food choices while travelling too!
Lot of times, I have gone unprepared and ended up looking around for
an hour, trying to find a place to eat that was both affordable and
served something that would keep the whole gang happy.
When you are planning to cook for yourself while you are travelling,
steer clear of the preservative loaded fatty foods when you can. They
aren’t going to make you feel great when you’re trying to enjoy
your holiday adventures anyway!
Turkish breakfast is the best reason to get out of bed in the morning! Hotel in Antalya
Bangkok: some families offer home made food. Be their guest at home. Meal is served with smiles and love, have a chit chat while sitting in small guest rooms.

Meal in flight: though small in quantity but contributes a lot towards travel memories. I asked the hostess for another one; guess what, that was my lucky day 😛
C oconut ice-cream in Phiphi; 10/10 for presentation. Good for Instagram picture only 8)
South Indian food in Batu Cave, initially buddies resisted coz of a unique aroma associated with the food…. Later they joined me to end this.. good experience
That sweet dessert served during Train journey – Istanbul to Konya. Loved it 😛
Just because we’ve left school doesn’t mean our education stops.
Learning keeps us young, and travel is one of the greatest teachers
of all. Travel inspires a sense of wonder and discovery, and there’s
an entire world of things to do and people to meet. Knowing the world
history; how our people used to live in old eras, their culture, life
styles. All had me interested.
Traveling has helped
me to see the bigger picture, putting my beliefs and thoughts into
prospective and allowing me to think more clearly. When we’re
outside of our normal environment, we’re forced to look at the
world differently.
Galata Tower was the tallest building in Istanbul at 219.5 ft (66.9 m) when it was built in 1348. The Romanesque style tower was built as Christea Turris ("Tower of Christ") in 1348
Hagia Sophia, Istanbul. The church was built in AD 537, during the reign of Justinian. The minarets were added in the 15th-16th centuries by the Ottoman Empire. Later converted into a mosque.
The Great Buddha of Phuket, is a seated Maravija Buddha statue in Phuket, Thailand. The official name is Phra Phutta Ming Mongkol Eknakiri, shortened to Ming Mongkol Buddha
Phuket: stories of love and wishes written on golden leaves. A ritual of belief observed in Buddha places and temples. Left my wish there “Thailand, hope to visit you again”
Mevlana Rumi “Stop acting so small. You are the universe in ecstatic motion”. One of the most dramatic music to fill your soul. Was lucky to catch the event takes place every Saturday night. Konya, city of love ♥
We exchanged the glasses after this click to have another – Sorry no better caption hit my mind 😕
Bagging
multi-use gear ensures you can easily adjust to changing conditions
and helps reduce the amount of clothing you need to take.
Carry
lighter gears to capture the moments,
this
does not mean to save every bit for your stories. Be there with all
of your mind and thoughts.
Try
to be as detailed as possible with regards to your major stops –
but keep everything else as flexible as possible. Because no matter
how well you’ve planned that trip, something is always going to
come up along the way. It may be weather, car trouble, health issues
etc..or a number of other factors.
To
minimize impact of language
hurdle
,
knowing a few local key phrases will not only make interactions
easier, but it will also help you when you bargain for goods, order
food, get lost, or need help.
Most interested item is Lahori food we carried multiple boxes to meet our requirement. All you need is to make this hot and serve.
That tinny thing to record our memories – Thanks Gopro
Imagine that bond while traveling – all of my buddies had to go restrooms at the same time le aving their dirty stuff around me. Bodrum Airport 😆
Taking time to create positive memories together that will be
reminisced later on gives
us
such a magical feeling. Bring back things like local guides, little
collectibles
,
and even store receipts. Be a bit of a hoarder with the items you
accumulate during the adventure.
Traveling
helps us feel like our best self because we are more willing to
receive the world's many lessons, no matter their shape or size. It
helps us recognize our shared humanity with others and dissipates
fear or misunderstandings. After all, it's much more fun to love the
world than to be afraid of it. A
memorable journey is not in the destination itself, but in the small
moments and memorable experiences you allow yourself to have. A great
journey begins the moment you get the longing to go, and stays with
you long after you come home.

Group Scooty ride in Phuket during Songkran. What an amazing thing to do. No license needed, just surrender your passports to get scooty.
Songkran festival: killed hundred of participants with our M24 Sniper water Gun. Celebrating the victory in Bangra style. Most entertaining event I had 😎
If it seems a childish thing to do, do it in remembrance that you are a child 😉
Music & dance at the Cruise top. Sorry guys in our part of land there are lack of dancing facilities. Maximum we could offer them was our “weirdo moves” 😐 Antalya
Guess what ? We met our ex-buddy in Istanbul. It was by-chance, my spouse could not believe that “chance” even after years 😀
Jobs fill your pockets, adventures empty them 😎
on the way to phiphi, we planned to thr ow one of the buddy out of Cruise to reduce payload 😀
