While planning our trip to New Zealand’s South Island, the only thing on my radar for Wanaka was its famous solitary willow tree. In all honesty, it took us two days to actually go see it. Why, you may ask. The serene beauty of this lakeside town completely captivated us from the moment we arrived. We got busy exploring the trails right behind our stay, skydiving...
After visiting Florence for two years in a row, I am convinced that to date the city is an artist’s haven. In all honesty, it took me a second visit to look beyond the architectural marvels and pistachio stracciatella sandwiches to observe the tiny stores tucked in the same lanes as the famous wine-windows. Unassuming shops stocked with some of the most unique...
If there’s only one country that you can visit in this lifetime, let it be Switzerland. After all, the country has a way of stealing your heart, even before you embark on the adventure. Despite catching glimpses of the vast meadows and snow-dusted mountains to hearing the melodic sound of cow-bells ringing in Bollywood films, Switzerland still manages to...
Mizoram is more than just a state in Northeast India. It’s a place where stereotypes are reversed. The roads are packed, the city is crowded, and yet there is not a single honk to be heard. The Mizo women are the real baddies, running the show as everything from business owners to chemists and textile producers. Mizoram isn’t just a destination; it’s...
If there is anything that I love more than travelling, it is finding unique souvenirs to bring back home. Capturing my travel memories into cute collectables is one of my favourite activities whenever I visit a new destination. And shopping in Spain is nothing short of walking around in candyland. On my second trip to Spain, one of the top priorities on my list...
A beautiful island just off the coast of Tanzania, Zanzibar is undeniably one of East Africa’s greatest treasures. Imagine powdery white sand, azure skies, and water so fiercely blue you can hardly believe your eyes. It is the literal definition of a tropical paradise. When it was time to plan a trip for our anniversary and my 30th birthday, we knew exactly...
Palm trees, azure skies, and an ocean dotted with colourful kite surfers. Paje is what happens when someone hits “pause” on a tropical paradise. It is the perfect blend of stunning beachside resorts, high-energy water sports, and laid-back cafes serving some of the best food on the island. It is pristine, soulful, and effortlessly relaxing. We spent three...
Every traveller and dreamer has that one destination that lingers at the back of their mind, calling them to explore with promises of wonder. For me, it was Morocco. An exotic land far away that seems to leap out of photographs with its bursts of colour, rich traditions, and whispers of mystery. In fact, it was the very first destination that came to mind when we...
The joy of travelling, for me, has never been limited to discovering new places, sampling unfamiliar cuisines, or immersing myself in different cultures. It also lies in the thrill of finding something that captures the soul of a destination, a piece of craftsmanship, a small collectible, a story I can hold in my hands. And when it comes to finding those little...
If you’ve ever dreamt of strolling on the cobblestone streets leading to the Colosseum in Italy or jumping into the crystal clear waters of Mallorca, there is only one thing standing between you and all your European dreams: a Schengen Visa. Applying for a Schengen Visa is one of the most nerve-wracking and tedious processes and you can never be sure whether...
