For me, travel is not just about
reaching a destination—it’s about the way I plan, prepare, and enjoy every step
of the journey. I am someone who believes in organizing things well in advance.
From booking tickets to packing bags, everything begins with paper and pen.
Lists are written, checked, and double-checked before I set out. That way, I
travel with peace of mind and return with happiness.
Packing and Food on the Go
When it comes to food, I rely on
home-cooked meals for the journey until we reach our destination. Once there, I
don’t mind trying the local cuisine, but always carefully. If friends or
relatives invite us for a meal, I love to join them, feeling safe with their
food. Otherwise, I choose clean and hygienic places to eat. Safety and health
come first.
Sightseeing at My Pace
I prefer sightseeing in a relaxed,
unhurried way. Travel, to me, should be savored, not rushed. Instead of
cramming everything into one day with a tourist guide, I enjoy exploring at
leisure. In places where going independently is not possible, I opt for government-authorized
packages or trusted local tour operators.
Shopping and Souvenirs
Shopping is always part of the
fun. But I buy with thought—keeping in mind utility, space at home, and how
well it will fit into my living space. Gifts for friends and relatives are a
tradition I never miss. In pilgrim centers, I bring home prasad, temple idols,
sacred water, kumkum, or holy threads. For children, it’s often toys,
chocolates, or small keepsakes. Each item becomes a memory from the trip.
Safety and Comfort First
I never compromise on safety. A
medicine kit, towels, bedspreads, extra clothes, and even spare bags for
shopping always find their place in my luggage. Everything is packed neatly to
avoid breakage or mess. This way, I return home with all my things intact,
along with a heart full of memories.
Memories That Last
At the end of every trip, what
remains is the joy of travel—the laughter, the moments with friends and family,
and the experiences collected along the way. Though cameras are now replaced by
cell phones, my albums are still filled with countless pictures to look back
on. Travel is not just about moving from one place to another; it is about
planning well, staying safe, and cherishing the happiness it brings.
What about you? Do you love to plan every
detail of your journey like me, or do you prefer traveling more spontaneously?
