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.

I had always heard that train journeys in Sri Lanka are dreamy and breathtaking. And honestly, during my solo trip to Sri Lanka, I wanted to experience the train journey just to see if it was worth the hype. While the most famous route is the 7 to 8–hour ride from Kandy to Ella, I
I’ve been to Hanoi three times now, and somehow, when I’m asked, “What are the best things to do in Hanoi?”, I am often lost, wondering what exactly I should mention!

“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

Getting there takes a bit of planning, a few different modes of transport, and a little patience. But trust me, the moment you arrive and see those towering limestone cliffs rising out of the sea, every
It was back in May 2020 when I was actually supposed to travel to Sri Lanka with a bunch of friends, but then the pandemic happened! We had planned a lot—where to go, where to stay, what to eat, everything – until it all came to a halt. Finally, in December 2021, to kick-start my
