Wow has this been an eventful year. From getting a certification to walking on a glacier to making lifelong friends, I have so much to write about. Many of us tend to focus on the bad but there was so much good this year. Here are what I considered to be the main highlights of…

Day 2 in San Francisco: Fireworks and Alfredo’s ‘famous’ city tour
2 July 2017. I don’t need to say which big holiday was around the corner, and it was so evident everywhere I went with Natalie and Alfredo. Almost every house had the American flag hoisted outside, and there were placards advertising where to get fireworks on every street corner. Before I even begin writing about…
Journey to San Francisco
I can’t actually put into words just how excited I was for this trip. I had never been to the Western Hemisphere before and considering all the trips I’ve done to Europe, it was about time. On the evening of 30 June, I boarded the full Lufthansa Flight 9545 to Frankfurt. Call me crazy but…
Cape Town 2017: Day 4
Monday was our last day in beautiful Cape Town, and we rejoiced the moment we woke up because the sun was out in full force. It was about bloody time, because we could not leave without going up Table Mountain. We had to check out by 10am and I got ready first because I wanted…
Cape Town 2017: Day 3
Every morning when we woke up, the first thing we’d do was look outside the big glass windows (the ones that stretched from one end of the apartment to the other) in search of the sun. Would we finally be able to go up Table Mountain? No. Sunday was not the day. We were a…
Cape Town 2017: Day 2
It was obvious from the noise of the TV that Premsheela was awake around 5 that Saturday morning, but until Surbhi woke up and went to the lounge to find out what Premsheela was doing, I didn’t realize she was awake too. Premsheela was already watching more Full House, and complained that we sleep too…
Cape Town 2017: Day 1
In 2013, it took me only about 10 minutes to decide that I was going to take up my relative’s offer to visit her in Switzerland. Roughly 2 months later, I was on a plane. That was the least amount of time I had taken to plan, book, and go on a trip. Ever. Until…
USA and Canada: The trip I’ve planned the least
This trip should be very interesting. The project I mentioned in my previous post has been moved yet again (with good reason) and this time we are targeting the end of May. I hope to God that that’s the last time it’ll be moved, but the last thing we want to do is sacrifice quality…
2017: Filling in more pieces of the puzzle
I think this is going to be a very important year for me. The project I’ve been working on for a 3rd year now is (hopefully) about to come to an end. In less than 2 months we can talk about things other than the project which I know everyone in my company is looking…
The Next Trip Predicament
In case you haven’t figured it out already, travel is something that is always on my mind. After getting over the the euphoria of one trip (if that is even possible), and sometimes even while on a trip, I am always thinking about the next one. Last year while in Germany, I decided that I wanted…
