Travel in 2013- A Roundup

Posted on November 25, 2013May 9, 2021

I have never traveled this much ever before! 17 trips in a year with a job was something I did not expect. Honestly I have to look at my picture folders to figure out I where I went and when! No wonder the brain feels like baigan ka bharta! I am not complaining. I am sure there is at least one trip going to happen in December too!

I can only wonder what does 2014 has in store! I am so tired that in spite of having so much to write the mind draws a blank. Hence I decided to come up with this list! Most of the trips were short ones, extended weekends mostly involving flights. Those are the most tiring trips. In the mean while a lens has got jammed on my camera and refusing to come out. Maybe even the camera is tired. But enough on the tiredness theme. Even if I can travel half of this next year I would be happy!

So where did your travels take you in 2013?
