Why this weblog?
Advised by supports to make the visits more meaningful, I recently made an effort to chronicle my travels and explorations in the form of a weblog here. The intent of the reportage and analysis is to help the travel enthusiasts in planning their trip to the mentioned places and provide them with a sort of virtual tour.
I believe in and follow the age-old wisdom of gathering knowledge and gaining experience by way of travelling.
Move around. Be nomadic.
