It's no secret that I love to travel. I love the entire process from start to end. The packing, the journey to the airport, the airport waits, the shitty airport food choices, the plane journey, the navigation, the wandering around foreign streets, the tired but excited feeling. All of it.
When i'm stressed, I travel.
When i'm happy, I travel.
When i'm working, I travel.
When i'm over the rain and in need of sun, I travel.
When i'm feeling lost, I travel.
And of course when I have any spare time at all.. I plan to travel.
What can I say, I was born to travel.

I've seen a hell of a lot of cities and islands, but in terms of countries I have only covered 28 as of now. Here they are:
England (i’m including this one because I try to travel the country as much as possible)
Scotland
France
Germany
Monaco
Belgium
Italy
Latvia
Croatia
Spain
Portugal
Bulgaria
Turkey
Norway
Canada
USA
UAE
Tunisia
India
Thailand
Cambodia
Laos
Malaysia
Singapore
Indonesia
Philippines
Japan
Australia
I've loved all of them in some way or another. My favourites have been:
Japan - this is the only place i've been so far that i've felt culture shocked, simply because it's so different to anywhere I have ever seen and you really can't rely on anyone speaking English. Which I love! I love how authentic Japan is. Truly a mesmerising trip.
India - so close to my heart and just the most incredible country from the people, the smells, the vibrancy, the noise. I'm honoured to be half Indian and feel so completely connected to this beautiful land.
Singapore - I could never miss out Singapore because it's the first country I ever moved to. It gave me so much and changed my life in every way. Singapore gave me a platform to travel and a whole new love for travel too. Plus it really is a little bubble of pleasantness, with little crime, sunny skies and kind people it's a whole new world.

Next on my travel wish list from March 2018 - March 2019:
I want to go to South America more than anything, but I think I need more time to properly explore. So I will leave it out of my wish list for now. Since i'll be in Europe from May onwards, I thought I better put European countries on my hitlist.
Iceland - been dreaming of going here since forever!
Netherlands - I can't believe I still haven't been here!
Hungary - need recommendations!
