While searching for Airbnbs in Chiang Mai, we stumbled upon this charming homestay called Lucklub, nestled within what the description called an artists’ village, just 7 km from the city center. The name ‘Baan Kang Wat’ was mentioned in the description, and it was a place I had never heard of before! Curiously enough, I
To the people I met in Egypt, It’s been nearly a month since we returned from Egypt, but I’m still suffering from post-trip blues.

“The rain stops and my friend departs. I wish he had stayed, I wish the rain had not stopped so soon.” -Ruskin Bond. It was just another day when I met ‘this person’. He came to JNU to play football with my friends. A brief interaction, some words exchanged over alcohol and dinner, and I
“Sunset felucca ride on the Nile? You know how much?” “Egyptian boat ride. Indian price. Brother, come.” “Very cheap price. One hour on the Nile. Only 10 Dollars!” As we strolled down the Nile Corniche in Luxor, the familiar calls echoed around us. By now, nearly a week into our journey through Egypt, we were

With vast stretches of golden beaches, dense tropical rainforests, lush green mountains, fertile delta regions, ruins of ancient architecture and floating markets, buzzing nightlife and dazzling skyscrapers, luxurious islands, and little
It was my third day in Sri Lanka, and I was staying on the outskirts of Sigiriya, hoping to go for a morning hike to Pidurangala to catch a glimpse of Lion Rock from the top. I had everything prepared the night before, but waking up at 4 AM to head out for the hike
