Day 1

I have been travelling since I was a child with my family but those were just vacations for me I never realized that I am addicted to it. It took me long enough to understand where it is coming from, during my childhood I used to think vacation is here that means a trip is coming have to do my complete my holiday homework as soon as possible just for the trip.

I remember, once I was at my grandmother's place, me and Dad were in the bed and suddenly I saw the huge canvas which has been there on the wall for ages with beautiful scenery, mountains covered with snow in the background and a huge horse and suddenly I asked him will I ever go on the mountains covered with the snow and guess what he answered my question by just taking us there for the vacation.
The bug was always there in me might be inherited by my parents who travel so much in a year which also inspire me so learn how to have a 9-5 job and travel at the same time four times a year.
I guess the place I got this travel bug in me is definitely mountains I have travelled so much in the mountains, which is like I can never get enough of it. The trip was to Rohru a small town in Himachal Pradesh which gave me, the reason for finding the stories while travelling.
While I travel to south the excitement is there so see sea,ocean and backwaters but I try to just stay on the seashore and can stay for hours. But mountains have had me since the beginning. The journey, the stories, the struggle, the happiness in the things they have, the diverse culture has what the bug of travel given to me.
It's just the mountains who have attached me the most whether it is Spiti valley or Reckon Peo, Munsyari, Gangotri I loved how in the extreme condition people live there.
I even stayed once in there house which was actually a trek for me jumping from someone's balcony and windows is there stairs or you can say a way to reach there home and for a city girl like me was something strange or I can say whenever I do that it has always amused me but is fun and adventurous as well. And I was scared as well to go from there I remember I was like how will I go from this narrow space and it was dark as well and was having a feeling like am going to steal something from there and going to jump into someone's terrace. Now it is something i think and laugh kids actually have great imagination power and the travel bug got me as well.

Now there is no stopping, I just don't only go to places and look around now I explore them try to capture those stories.
