Of all the things to fall in love while traveling, I fell in love with the Metro! I am crazy about metro trains, rides, stations that I get to experience in different parts of the world. In this post I talk about my experiences of using the Moscow Metro when I only speak English. When…
When I Wore a Saree in Paris, France
Alka and I went to Budapest together in November 2017. It was our first trip together as adults! We also left behind our family to take the break. We wanted to make it a yearly affair and I am happy to say that we went to Paris this November! I am keeping my fingers crossed…

The Zip Rider at the Bobrovy Log Fun Park, Krasnoyarsk
I have a love/fear relationship with adventure. Before the adventure begins I fear it a little (OK sometimes a lot) but I love it after I am done with it. But the zip line or the zip rider is one activity I can approach without fear for the simple reason that I have done it…
Have You Heard of these Siberian Stereotypes
I visited Krasnoyarsk in Siberia in August 2018 as I won a place in the second batch of the Follow Up Siberia Contest. While my thoughts changed a lot by just taking part in the contest, visiting the place was such a beautiful experience. I tried to shake off the stereotypes about Siberia before visiting…
What Do You Think About Videos?
In the recent months I got a lot more request from sponsors for video content. Truth be told, videos terrify me. I am not comfortable speaking in them, I am not comfortable making them when I am at a destination. But now that blogging and social media is my main source of income I end…
