My Trip To Istanbul: Where East Meets West

ISTANBUL is easily among my favorite cities in the world. A wonderful blend of Asian and European sensibilities. I was bit sceptical about going there because of political tension and my travel dates were pretty close to last year’s referendum. I am really glad that i choose to visit the city and had a truly great experience. City View From Up In The Air   HOW I PLANNED THREE COUNTRIES TRIP I had no plans…

Why And How I Started Solo Traveling: My Visa Adventures

Solo Traveling is the best way to not just discover the world but yourself too which i learnt during my travels. Solo traveling instilled my life with a breath of fresh air.

PAKISTAN is on my travel list since long time. Being born less than 250 kilometers away from the Pakistani border, I was always intrigued to visit the country.

My Russian Adventure: A Day In Moscow

I was always fascinated by Russia. For me Russia is like a big mystery. Like Churchill once said “It is a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma.” Russians are always depict as villains in Hollywood films. I feel their humanist side when i saw films by Zvyagintsev and Tarkovsky. So, last year I got the chance to visit Moscow in transit and I grab the opportunity by deliberately booking a flight with a…

9 Hours In Paris

What is the one word that comes in your mind when you think about “PARIS”! Well, for me it is “LOVE”. The city which evokes such a beautiful emotion must be pretty amazing to visit.  So, I visited the “City Of Love” last year for a short stopover before heading to my next destination. Here’s how I spend 9 hours in Paris: 7.30 AM: My Gulf Air flight landed at CDG Airport. Immigration was pretty…
