Europe is a long, long way away. It takes tiresome hours to fly to. Getting there and travelling is, moreover, expensive than many people can afford to. And if any will is still left, the super-cheap all-inclusive packages to Bali and Indonesia, costing just as much as a return flight-ticket to Europe does, makes it even more discouraging. So why even bother travelling there at all? Well, let us count the reasons in these beautiful Europe photos. My Favorite Europe Pictures and Photos
Madhurima is a blogger by passion, traveller by choice and business analyst by profession. Her blog OrangeWayfarer is a wonderful account of her journeys and memories. And speaking about her ordeals as a solo female traveller, this is what she has to say… The ordeal of being a female is never-ending, no matter where you belong to, or what your skin colour is. Misogyny looms large at every corner in the society. This particularly becomes more annoying for solo female travellers in
As I left the dinner table and entered my room — a normal daily routine I was consciously repeating for the past couple of weeks, I wondered why it was so hard to wish THE FAMILY I was staying with, in Italy a ‘pleasant sleep’ tonight. But as I entered my room, and slammed the door behind me, I realized that there’s nothing unusual in today’s circumstances; I always feel the same when I leave something behind. Bidding farewell and saying final goodbyes have always been the toughest part

During my one week holiday in Perth, I did a wine tasting Swan valley day trip from Perth, and it was the best things ever. There are many tour companies organising the same tour, but I have a suggestion based on my experience. So let’s get started… If you thought Perth is all about beaches, beers, and sunsets, think again.

Looking for Street art in Perth? In this travel blog, I will be sharing some great Perth street art locations you should visit. So let’s get started… No matter where I am, as soon as I hear that there is some street art to discover, there’s no need to tell me twice. I’ve some affection to street art, some personal liking that I make it a priority — and that’s exactly what happened while I was in Perth: exploring some graffiti and street art in Perth. As I arrived in the city
With a constant green of surrounding forest, a saturated yellow tropical sand, and some periodic rain coming my way, as the train journeyed towards Toodyay, from Perth, in Western Australia, I felt a sudden nostalgia towards the city I’d just left behind. “What a cute little city Perth was,” said a wistful voice inside me. But alas! I had left it behind. A part of me still wanted to return and enjoy a bit more of the beauty that ‘little Perth’ had to offer. If you know
As I grabbed myself in the middle of a pitch-dark forest with nothing but a cosmic diffusion of blackness spread all around and looked above, the sky glittered at a distance. It felt like a fairy tale with a million stars twinkling in my eyes. I couldn’t recall when did I last saw something as beautiful and surreal. They say that the Southern Hemisphere holds all the good stuff, with most of the largest and brightest galaxies visible directly through a naked-eye. I couldn’t agree more. H
There are some towns that you instantly build a liking for, and Bunbury, for me, turned out to be one among them. As I left Perth and travelled south to Bunbury, on a chilly Monday morning in August, the time of the year when tourism in Southwest of Australia is at its all-time low, I found a city like no other. It was quiet yet not dead, urban yet bucolic. Western Australia’s third largest city Bunbury, has something for everyone — from beaches to wildlife to wineries. But one thing tha
Western Australia remains one of my favourite regions in Australia when it comes to travelling. It has moving sand-dunes, white sand beaches, some 100,000-year-old sandstone formations, massive gorges, mountain ranges, vineyards, historical towns, indigenous communities and what not! The only problem is, however, transportation, unless you are driving. If you’re going to and from the main cities, like Perth or Albany or Broome, you still public transport, but if you’re going off th
Kuala Lumpur can be a great city for a first timer, but if you’ve been there before, or are going to be staying in the town for a few days, be well informed that the town may appear as one chaotic mess. It is one of those cities in the world that never sleeps. Its energy hits you in the face and the madness grows on you over time. Everywhere you turn in Kuala Lumpur there is blocked traffic, crowded sidewalks, annoying taxi-drivers and smoggy air. But the good thing is, Kuala Lumpur is n
After staying in downtown Kuala Lumpur for a few nights, and comparing it with my time in the neighbouring state of Selangor, I realized that Kuala Lumpur was, after all, never meant for me. And if given a chance to revisit Peninsular Malaysia, I’d like to uncover a bit more of Selangor, or perhaps the southwestern coast and the comparatively offbeat northeast. But for those who happen to be in Malaysia for just a few days and are bound to stay close to the Kuala Lumpur Airport, the sta

As I grabbed myself in the tiny corners of my flat in New Delhi, and started typing a set of careful words — an effort to pen down the itinerary we followed during our Jammu to Killar motorcycle trip — I realised what I’d left behind. There are some experiences that leave an imprint in our life, depart us with many uncountable memories, and this one week ride I ended up being a part of, with 60+ riders from across India, was definitely one among them. It is kind of comforting yet troubli
Before I talk about my first bungy jumping experience and answer ‘is bungy jumping scary’ let me introduce myself. I am someone (other details doesn’t matter) who is scared of heights & who never visited an adventure park since a scary episode during high-school, yet I bungy jumped. Now, let’s read ahead… I don’t think I can do this. What if I collapsed amidst air — a nervous breakdown, a heart attack, or something worse. My mind was constantly pleading
Clan Jetties in Georgetown or the Clan Jetties of Penang came into existence in the 19th century when Chinese Hokkien immigrants living in Malaysia with common surnames and relation came together and started a community at the waterfront in Penang. Today, it’s a popular tourist highlight. From my visit to Clan Jetties in Penang, this is how to plan a trip and what to see and do there… “The families living there are still not subjected to pay for house taxes because tec
After a few weeks of a quest for some of the world’s most gorgeous beaches in Australia, my love for Australian beaches and the Indian ocean was far from over. I mean in a country where finding a beautiful beach is an everyday story, the excitement to explore a few more of them, dies pretty quickly. And so was the case with me, before I ended up mountain biking in Margaret River. So as I moved down south of Perth, during my three-week backpacking trip in Western Australia, and hit Marga
When you are in Georgetown, in Penang, besides trying its street-food and exploring the many white-sand beaches, do not forget to uncover its rich street art. Penang street art is one of the highlights and the very reason why I would call Georgetown a modern heritage town. The way how Georgetown has infused new art forms into its decade-old architecture is definitely worth appreciating. Though it is still a long way for Georgetown to challenge the likes of Ljubljana’s Metelkova Graffiti
