About this blog
About Mytravelmoonshots
All great blogs are the result of years of hard work, love and dedication. But mytravelmoonshots.com is made of sterner stuff. This blog is the outcome of years of procrastination. And great quality procrastination at that. It has taken 20 years to launch. It beat the dotcom boom of the early 2000s, it refused to stir during the financial crisis of 2008 and it hardly whimpered during the current pandemic of covid-19 when the whole world and it’s granny were writing novellas by the dozen (when they were not on Zoom calls). This baby has a lot of character!!!
And finally this blog is seeing the light of the day. This blog hopes to cover interesting anecdotes from my travels over the last 25 years as a student (on very tight budgets), as a working professional (with a very tight schedule) and most recently as an independent traveller with no time constraints ( unfortunately, the budget constraint still remains)
When I meet someone for the first time, I invariably end up asking them where they have travelled recently. Or which is their favourite travel destination. This just opens up a Pandora’s box. Nobody can be uninteresting after that. It’s the best ice breaker.
As my travel stories became more interesting, close friends urged me to write a blog that would capture little nuggets about all the places I have been to and the interesting experiences I have had. So if you need to know the little secrets of the quaint streets of Paris, do dive into my blog. But if you need minute details of Top 10 things to do in Timbuctoo, your time may be better spent elsewhere.
Anyways, that’s all about that! So welcome to my blog where I hope to share the amazing journeys which have taken me to distant shores and the hidden gems near home….what I call my travel moonshots. Because it is only when we take moonshots at impossible dreams and goals, that we end up somewhere interesting.
So come join me in this interesting road of discovery of far flung lands
Cheers
