We are in this beautiful white city of Sucre in Bolivia. This is one of the most famous places to learn Spanish in South America. We came here with a plan to stay no more than few days but ended up staying for about a month.

How to plan a trip to Tibet in 5 easy steps?
As a foreigner, planning a trip to Tibet can be discouraging considering the planning involved, the permits required and a lot of waiting so patience is a virtue.

So to simplify things here are 5 steps to follow when planning a trip to Tibet.
Japan in 10 Days
Konnichiwa Japan
Japan by far was the most surprising travel destination we came across. The culture, the food, the people and the technology is so impressive we could not believe we only had such a short time to indulge in this beauty. We loved and really admired the Japanese etiquettes. In the limited time we had in Japan we wanted to see as much as possible. Travelling in Japan is expensive, especially if you are on a budget. So it makes sense to make use of each day to the fullest so we did.
US West Coast Road Trip
Here is a small snippet from our US road trip in Aug 2015. We had mere 9 days in US west coast and wanted to make full use of it. We also realised that the higher the expense of the country, the shorter the stay and faster the travel becomes. US has not been high on our list because in my opinion if a country is wheelchair accessible travelling there can be made any time later in life.
At this point in my life, I wanted to make sure I visited all the places where I am able to use my physical energy to maximum capacity. I wanted to explore places where transportation maybe limited and places where there are no roads or easy access.
It was fortunate for us that our itinerary shaped up the way it did and we got to spend a little time in this vast beautiful country. Read more

Yes we did it! After months of planning, waiting, anticipating, sweating and hiking in the Andes 4 days 3 nights we finally completed the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu. As the saying goes “The Journey is the Destination” and what an amazing journey it was for the both of us. The Inca Trail is 26 miles/ 42 km trek through Andes mountains.
The Memories of Tibet
Tibet is my heaven. If there is heaven on Earth its here. Being at the top of the world I found peace. I simply love the Tibetan people. They are beautiful and amazing in their own way. In my 10 months of travelling they are the best souls I have met. So divine, so magical, they could very well be from another magical world.
China – Avatar Mountains of Zhangjiajie
We spent the last few days making our way to the Zhangjiajie National park (China) and explored the famous mountains of Pandora. Until a few weeks ago, I did not know this place existed. I am so fascinated by the natural beauty of this place wishing I could stay here longer. Zhangjiajie as captivating as it was, receives far too many visitors just like many other attractions which ultimately leads to high volume in noise and inconsideration by tour guides can contribute to spoil the spirit of this place. Keeping aside some inconvenience and distractions, this place does deserve a visit. Read more
China – Xi’an and our Korean friends Gabbi and Eric
China – Dear Marie, our Gypsy Jazz French Singer friend from Beijing
We first met Marie in the Philippines and spent an awesome week on the island of Bohol at ‘Bohol Coco Farm‘. So it was certain that when we visit Beijing we have to attend some of Marie’s concerts. We spent two beautiful nights in Beijing enjoying Gypsy Jazz music. First night at Enoterra and second night at the ‘Eudora Station‘ music bar in Beijing. Read more
