Be Tourist Is Fun

“Passport?”

“Check!”

“Camera?”

“Check!”

“Unstoppable spirit?”

“Double check!”

Sisters Alina and Meher stood at the airport gates, beaming with excitement, their luggage packed with adventure, and their hearts ready for the unknown. Though only two years apart—Alina being 24 and Meher 22—they were inseparable best friends with the shared dream of exploring the world, one country at a time.

Both sisters were known for their dazzling beauty—sun-kissed skin, sparkling eyes, and radiant smiles—but it was their energy, kindness, and joy for life that made them truly shine. They weren’t just tourists; they were explorers of life, collectors of stories, and lovers of the moment.

Their motto?

"Be tourist is fun — not just in places, but in life!"

The First Stop: Italy – The Land of Flavor and Passion

Their first destination was the breathtaking streets of Rome. As they walked hand in hand through cobbled alleys, past timeless ruins and fragrant pizza shops, Alina whispered, “Can you believe we’re actually here?”

They visited the Colosseum, tossing coins into the Trevi Fountain and making silent wishes. Meher, ever the dreamer, whispered, “I want to discover something that changes my life.”

Alina grinned. “You already have—this moment.”

They danced in the streets with local musicians, helped a lost traveler find his hotel, and took silly photos with strangers-turned-friends. That night, under the stars of an Italian rooftop, the sisters agreed: happiness was not in the destination, but in the journey together.

The Spark of Adventure – France

Next stop: Paris. The Eiffel Tower sparkled like the dreams in their eyes. But the real magic happened when they got lost in Montmartre. Instead of panicking, they laughed until their stomachs hurt and stumbled into a tiny art gallery run by an elderly woman named Simone.

Simone painted joy. Literally—every canvas burst with color and life. She told the girls, “The world gives you what you see in it. Look for wonder, and you’ll find it.”

Inspired, Meher bought a travel sketchbook, while Alina picked up a vintage camera. That day, the two sisters didn’t just tour the city—they began capturing it through their own artistic lens. From that moment, their journey became not just about seeing places, but feeling them.

Unexpected Lessons in Thailand

In Chiang Mai, they traded their dresses for modest clothing and visited a peaceful Buddhist temple on a hill. Surrounded by golden statues and incense smoke, they sat in silence, the breeze brushing gently against their faces.

Alina whispered, “I think we’re changing.”

Meher nodded. “We’re becoming more... awake.”

They volunteered for a week at an elephant sanctuary, where they cleaned, fed, and cared for rescued animals. They learned humility, patience, and how deep joy can be found in the simplest moments—like washing an elephant under a waterfall or sharing food with village children.

Mountains of Growth – Peru

At Machu Picchu, the hike was brutal. The air thinned. The climb tested their limits. For the first time, they argued—exhausted, sweaty, frustrated. Meher wanted to give up. “This was a mistake,” she cried, breathless and tired.

Alina sat beside her on the rocks, wiped the sweat from her sister’s brow, and said gently, “It’s okay to struggle. What matters is we climb together.”

Those words hit Meher like sunrise on a stormy day. They embraced, took a deep breath, and kept going—step by step, hand in hand. When they reached the summit, the view took their breath away. The ancient city below, wrapped in mist and magic, made every tear and ache worth it.

“That,” Alina smiled, “is what life is.”

The Golden Lesson – Morocco

In Marrakech, the colors were richer, the spices bolder, and the people warmer than anywhere else. They rode camels through the golden desert at sunset, their white scarves flowing in the wind, laughter echoing across the dunes.

At a small local school, they spent an afternoon teaching children English through songs and games. It was supposed to be a short visit, but something shifted in their hearts. The happiness in the children’s eyes sparked a bigger idea.

“We should build something,” Meher said that night by the fire. “Something that helps more than just us.”

Alina nodded. “Let’s share this joy. Let’s inspire others to travel, connect, and grow.”

The Dream Born

After 7 months, 11 countries, and countless memories, the sisters returned home—not as the same girls who left, but as women full of stories, purpose, and light. They launched a travel blog and video channel called "Be Tourist Is Fun", sharing not just where to go, but how to feel the world.

Their channel quickly gained attention—not because of glamorous locations, but because of their authenticity, smiles, and spirit. Viewers wrote in:

“You helped me overcome anxiety to travel.”

“Because of you, I took my first solo trip.”

“Your sisterhood is goals!”

They were changing lives—one joyful video, one heartfelt blog, and one courageous story at a time.

The Message That Stayed

In their most popular video, Meher looked into the camera and said:

"Being a tourist isn’t just about planes and places. It’s about seeing the world—even your neighborhood—with wonder. It's about being curious, open, and grateful. Being a tourist is fun because it reminds us: the world is a gift, and we are meant to explore it—together."

Alina added, with her signature smile,

"And no matter where you go, never forget to pack your joy."
