I have spent nearly 6 months in Australia over the past 20 years of traveling in this part of that world. I keep returning because of its geographic landscape, history, food, wine scene, and incredible diversity of experiences. And the fact that it never feels over crowded. But the one destination that has eluded me so far has been Tasmania. Recently I began thinking about exploring this island and began doing some research in preparation for a possible visit. First, I’ll start with the basics: Tasmania is not a country, […]

Last Month in July, I did something I had been dreaming about for many years – I was riding over 18000 feet above sea level where the cool mountain air greeted me. It was an absolute adventure with Brahman Tour Motorbike Tour in Himalayas, India covering many high-altitude motorable passes. This place is a land of stark beauty with its rugged mountains, gorgeous lakes and endless open skies. I knew it would be amazing, but it came from the actual ride, which is beyond anything I could have dreamt of. […]

Forget the summer gridlock. The real story of America’s national parks is told in September and October, during the “secret season.” This is when the crowds disappear, the weather is perfect and the landscapes transform. The post-Labor Day slump is a traveler’s dream. With schools back in session, parks like Zion, Yellowstone and the Grand Canyon are no longer at peak capacity. This means a more intimate and enjoyable experience. The intense summer heat subsides, making hiking and outdoor activities not just possible, but genuinely pleasant. Think crisp, cool air […]

Last Sunday, I set out on a solo adventure that turned into one of my most memorable monsoon experiences in Nashik, my hometown.

Introduction Amsterdam was not meant to change everything. For most business travellers and expats, it is just another European city on the itinerary—a convenient spot for meetings, conferences, or short-term projects. The plan is always simple: arrive, work, explore a little, and leave with some nice memories and a few photos. But Amsterdam has different ideas. Beneath the picture-perfect canals and tourist-friendly surface lies something more powerful: a place where temporary visitors accidentally discover what they’ve been missing. It’s not the museums or nightlife that hooks them—it’s the morning bike […]

Cefalù Cefalù is not exactly on the western coast of Sicily, but it’s not too far from it, and it would be a shame not to visit. So, I decided to include it in the must-see places of western Sicily. Cefalù is a beautiful gem set on the Sicilian sea. So beautiful that crossing its gaze, made up of narrow streets, alleys, and glimpses of the sea, causes a sense of embarrassment. The little hill that distinguishes it seems to have been created by the skilled hands of an artist […]
