Being a full-time practicing architect for past 8
years, having tight schedules and deadlines is
part of the routine. But taking out time to travel
has always been my favourite hobby. I love to
explore places, be it a city, a village, or any town.
I don’t exactly remember how old I was but since
childhood I have enjoyed travelling and trekking. Back
then, the definition of travelling for me was different
than what it is now. This perspective widened drastically
during my 5-year Architectural studies and since then
travelling for me is not just visiting new places, enjoying
the views and relaxing but also observing, learning
new things, meeting new people, understanding and
appreciating the place through its history (past) ,
geography , people (present), food and its architecture. I
started enjoying and learning through all these and thus
have started liking travelling even more than before.
Earlier, whenever I used to travel, it used to be with a
group of friends or like-minded people and with my
family but later on, it started becoming a bit difficult
to coordinate time, holidays, budget, places and then
make a plan that suits everyone. So, I decided to take a
solo trip and probably my first one was Spiti. There, I
met 9 other solo travellers and it became an extremely
memorable trip. And that’s how I started travelling solo
whenever I could. The freedom and advantages of solo
travelling are so many that I started enjoying it even more.
