It actually took me a while to believe this. No, it wasn’t just for an ordinary trip. It was a dream that I wished to fulfill some fine day, and so I couldn’t believe the day was finally here. I dreamt of going to one of the locations that fascinated me to a great extent, “Hong Kong & Macau”. Not just this, I even dreamt of going on a solo trip.

We have been blogging for one year now. The only reason we started our blog was inspiration from GMB AKASH.

We used to follow him on social media, as everyone does. We never knew he would turn out to be an inspiration for us getting into this blogging world.

He is a photographer based in Bangladesh, his passion for photography began in 1996. Now he has come a long long way of 20 years of his life as a photographer

And he achieved more than 100 international awards and have been published in more than 100 publications. He is the light who finds beauty in ugliness, strength in fragility and love in the lost.

He looks around for the untold stories…

So basically, In his child age, he never stopped following his dreams. He kept on wandering for stories around him, some of his stories were, the gay who used to dance occasionally in the lobby, girls under the red lights and colors of human emotions. His writing and photography influenced us to involve the people and the view of incredible humans from different culture and background.

He moves from place to place, cities, and countries and always tries to bring changes with his images and stories into the world, he had to Run, take a ride on the roof of train, sleep on the flooded floor and spend many hours walking through the slums.

Sometimes it was difficult for him to travel, He traveled to more than fifty countries, but most importantly he traveled through thousands of streets, which lead him to his sort of content.

He never thought of himself, he just did what he loves to do, which is Photojournalism.

He is an inspiration to many including us…

Foodie trip…

food1

As we travel, we have to make a lot of planning in finding out what to take and what not to, so, one of those packing lists is about food.

It is very difficult to travel without the essential things and gears we need and mainly Food, we like many recipes at home, but it’s not same with traveling. you have to waive off the food you like, which cannot be carried while traveling.

As you cannot take eggs with you all time traveling but you can buy it on your way.

And if …

you don’t get anything…, You can carry fruits, salads, and have sandwiches and all solid foods in your Backpack, to keep your journey fresh.

Though Traveling for food is an entirely new stream.

5 points you get when you travel.

1. You taste food that You’ve Never Tried Before.

2. A Country’s Food Tells You A Lot About Their Culture.

3. Food also helps you meet new people, conversation and make new friends. You Get to taste New Flavors and Dishes.

4. Going to new places and trying new dishes and experiencing new flavors.

5. You can have the best meal of your life by having street food. may be,

food 2

Different areas of the world have various new flavors and dishes that you would never even think of. Eating: It’s one of life’s great pleasures. And for travelers, it’s even more than that.

When you’re traveling, food isn’t just about taste and enjoyment, It’s about culture and experience. If you want to get the best food when you’re traveling, you need to know

1. look for Markets while traveling local markets is like your friend. which can buy you interesting food.

2. One important note: localites don’t always know everything and best

… 🙂

but sometimes, When you’re traveling, it’s a good idea to ask the localite for information on where and what to eat.

3. It’s okay to check out local food bloggers in your destination to get info on restaurants and markets and even sometimes offers % which will help you save some money.

As Benjamin Franklin said, “A penny saved is a penny earned?” One of the most famous Americans of his and our time. He held many titles, one of them is WORLD TRAVELER. you know what it means…

you have to taste a culture to understand it. lines by, Deborah Carter.

After all travel for food or food for travel, it starts with Travel. so, lets Pack, Travel and Eat…

Living the dream once in a lifetime …

05

If we talk about the word dream the only thing pops out from the mind is to Travel.

We travel initially, to lose ourselves, to find ourselves, to open our hearts and eyes and learn more about the world than these newspapers publish and to see the life in a different perspective… but, later it became the daily routine of our life, we just need a thought to travel on. 

Firstly we have to make some investment as of TIME, ADJUSTMENTS, CHOICES and very fewer people say about MONEY, Yes you have to invest in some money for Traveling

We think Travel is the best way we have for filling up the beauty of places in our eyes and saving them in our inner soul-memories, Knowing the local culture by eating treats and recipes that are unique to a particular region.

Real voyage of discovery consists not in seeing new places but in seeing it with new eyes, we forget about our jobs, our classes, and all our other responsibilities. we travel to escape our routine lives and to move on to a different beat.

Travel in that sense. which guides us toward a better balance of perception and understanding — of seeing the world full of beauty.

The beauty of this whole process was best described by,

Christopher McCandless.

“don’t hesitate or allow yourself to make excuses, just get out and do it. You will be very glad that you did it”

Yet for us, the first great joy of traveling is simply the luxury of leaving all our beliefs and truths at home and seeing everything we thought we knew in a different gleam, and from a twisted angle.

So travel, at heart is just a quick way of keeping our minds mobile and awake.

we travel in large part in search of hardship — both of our own, which we want to feel, and which we need to see. 

we travel to, learn. to discover.to escape. make new friends.

  And new experience.

Experiences help to bring meaning to our lives. They truly shape and define us.

let’s backpack and wonder where the wifi is weak!!!

So tell us, what about you?
