My interest in travel has started from a very young age. Inspite of the interest, I cannot boast of visiting many places other than the Southern part of India. Most of these visits were limited to pilgrim centres. Pilgrim centres are with very limited opportunities to learn and experience new things. It is mainly of a cultural and religious beliefs that drive us to these places. The tradition of pilgrimage is practiced in our society with a noble purpose. We need to interact with people outside our local environment. We need to experiece the food, the traditions, the clothing of our neighbouring land. Only through this we will understand the world better.
However the pilgrim trips are only one aspect of travel. Travel is a area with a very wide canvas. The world present us with unlimited possibilities that cannot be fully experienced in one’s lifetime. There are other factors that decide our natural urge to see the world. The freedom does not come so easily. You need the money, the time and a willingness to undertake the difficulties when you come out of your comfort zone. It poses many many challenges to succeed in your travel undertakings. I will open my mind in the coming days about my experiences of my travel undertakings. We can meet again with more interesting facts and thoughts.
