TRAVEL ENTHUSIAST OF THE MONTH - OCTOBER
It’s our pleasure to introduce our ‘Travel
Enthusiast of the Month’, Mr. Prasad NP aka the desi
Traveler. We asked him to share his
travel experiences with us and he was kind enough to oblige. For more of his blogs and insights
please visit DesiTraveler.com.
1. What
inspired you to take up travelling?
A deep
desire to see the world and understand how we are all connected and same, even though
we see only superficial differences in colour, clothes, language, food, etc. I
have always been fascinated with how humans spread through every place on earth
and wanted to visit every single society on earth to understand them better.
2. What was
your first solo travel experience like?
It was
awesome; I visited some remote villages in the Himalayas and actually pondered
over personal, professional and philosophical things.
3. 4 Places
that you loved the most
Kerala,
Pondicherry, San Francisco & Hong Kong
4. Your best
& most bizarre travel moment
Best was
watching sun melt into the Arabian Sea in Kerala, and Bizarre was being conned
by a photographer in Paris
5. The best
& worst food experiences you’ve had
Best food
in a small shack in Tal Chapar Rajasthan, when a guy shared his food with us,
as we mistook him for a ‘dhaba’ owner. Worst was getting sick on a 9 hour
flight from Milan to New Delhi after eating something on the plane
6. You look
forward to travelling because…
Traveling completes me, one step at a time!
7. A few
travel tips that you’d like to share with our followers
Research, Plan, Research, Plan and then do something that
your heart says :)
8. 4
essentials in your travel bag
Camera, A Good book to read on flight or train, all my papers
and some deodorant.
9. Top 4
places on your bucket list…
Rio De Janerio, Arunachal Pradesh, Middle-East, South Africa
10. How has
travelling changed you as a person?
Made me
patient and appreciate the diversity we have with people living in different
places, and more conscious about the footprint we are leaving on our planet, I
hope to leave the planet in a better shape than it is today!
