budget travel
If you budget wisely, your travel funds can go a long way, though not as far as you.
Explore Yourself
I am a follower of all things Travel and Adventure, my eyes light up at the discovery of a new flight route to Armenia, A camel trek in the Western Sahara or a Windsurfing trip in Naxos. I sometime discover information about destinations so far removed from any known tourist guides that I cannot even pinpoint them on the world map without tracing the steps of previous explorers with some kind of obsessive desire to find the answers. The thought of the unknown is what drives my spirit of adventure, I leave scribbles and notes in diaries about trips and ideas far into the future, even if they are not viable or I never embark on them, but each idea is what inspires and motivates me to keep taking those steps to find what is over the horizon.

Coastal Series: Part I (Washington State)
Washington does not introduce its coastline. It lets you find it... There’s no sudden reveal, no postcard moment engineered for the windshield. The coast arrives gradually, in pieces... Through rain-darkened trees, through logging towns that never rebranded themselves, through long stretches of road where the radio fades, and the sky lowers itself closer to the ground.

The Kudremukh trek is not the kind of adventure that overwhelms you with difficulty or noise.

Netravati Trek – Where Misty Hills Meet Silence. AI-Generated.
Some treks are about conquering heights. Others are about conquering noise—escaping it, stepping away from it, and rediscovering a quieter rhythm of life. The Netravati Trek, tucked away in the Western Ghats of Karnataka, is exactly that kind of journey. It’s where misty hills stretch endlessly, silence feels comforting rather than empty, and nature still feels raw and untouched.

The Genius Idea of Stopovers in Warsaw
Normally I aim to spend anywhere from two to three hours between connecting flights at international airports before moving on promptly to my final destination. In the adventure my wife and I undertook, we had a stopover in Warsaw of a whopping seven-and-a-half hours **during the day**. There is no way any airport is so good to spend that much time there during the day, so we were definitely going to see the city. But was it worth it? Could we see something and get back to our connecting flight without being frazzled?
