When I first arrived in Egypt, I fantasized about exploring cities other than Cairo. I got to visit Sharm el Sheikh with Mark and I looked forward to exploring Luxor and Aswan (Abu Simbel) after I was done with work. However, towards the end of my stay, I found myself […]

This story begins in a land far, far away. I was booked for a morning safari in Ranthambore. The safari was to start at 7 am but we were to assemble at the hotel’s reception 15 minutes before time. I had arrived at the hotel late at night after travelling […]

In 2015, by chance and not by choice, I took my first ever solo trip around some parts of Europe. I never planned to do so but my travel partner couldn’t get a visa and we had paid upfront for train tickets (because they were cheaper at the time we booked […]

We even saw cheetahs during our bush walk and heard lions at night from our tents!โฃโฃโฃ
