Kenya , Tanzania , nepal and Bhutan are the countries I have visited . Safari in Africa were mind boggling.
In this long voyage I have sleeped in Hotel , Hostel , Railway station , Bus station and even in Footpath . I just want a little rest in the Night . When I was in college I mostly make night journey to save money(As I don’t have enough money to book a hotel for stay ) . I mostly search cheapest option for night stay still now . In this whole journey I have used bus , train , cab car , trams , boat , cycle , ships , auto , cycle riska ,ropeway , aieroplane ,horse and camel as a mode of transport .

I would suggest if you go to this place , you should obviously taste those food .
I want people to travel more with open eye . people often say without any companion how you travel . I thing you are not alone when you travel . Everywhere there is people around you , They are just people like you . They are also loving ,caring and hospitable people . If you like to talk with them they also . Don’t judge their behavior with your own custom then you don’t feel you are outsider . Just travel with open eye detach yourself from your custom for few days then you feel the real magic of travel . I prefer solo traveling because two reason one I don’t have to worry about my companion , I don’t have to look back and second if you are solo you talk more with the local people so learn more about the place and their culture . If you are lucky you may make new friends also .
So I start blogging in 2021 . I want a career which don’t put restriction on my travel. So I choose this option . I want emotional support in my journey . God bless all and have a wondeful life ahead .
