Who am I?

Samita S
I am a 31 years old Petroleum Engineer from India currently living and working in UK. I am passionate about traveling, and have been to 41 countries so far, which is still just 13% of the entire world and I have a long way to go! I love to travel solo, with just a backpack, a useful map, my tripod and camera, and a long list of things to do.

Why did I create this website?

Since I have a full time job, I optimize my vacation days, weekends and public holidays to fulfill my passion for travel. So most of the time I don't have the luxury to visit one country and live there for weeks to experience it like other travelers who travel full time. So, I have to optimize my limited time and do the most I can.
Here, I would like to share those experiences with you. My weekend/long weekend itineraries, pictures from my trip and where I took them from, and some useful tips.

Hope you enjoy going through my pages, as much as I enjoy making them. :)
