If you are working for a multi national IT consulting company, travel becomes inevitable part of your system and now, Work takes me all over the world to explore and capture fascinating sights, people and cultural activities.
This blog is more visual than verbal. You can google all the info about a monument, vacation spot or festival. So why waste time duplicating data ?
I just tried to capture my candid shots here for my own memories and records.
My camera gear is a combination of DSLR (Nikon D80) and iPhone ( XS Max Pro and 14 Max Pro) Cameras.
As most people, I am a casual traveler, not hardcore backpacker (well when I was single).
Most of us like to travel with our families and friends to explore new places, people, nature and local foods. Although many of our trips have been cancelled due to this Covid-19 Pandemic situation, why don't we recall our travel memories during this time and bring smile on our faces.
There are many travels, local and international tours made in the past and each one of them were very unique, adventurous, curious and sometimes very exhausted as well.
To name a few,
My very first, 5 days tour - very historical place - to ' Egypt '
A long 8+hrs continuous self-drive from Phoenix, Arizona to ' Grand Canyon National Park '
Long drive (with my colleague's family ) from Hartford, Connecticut to New York ' Niagara falls '
9 Days tour to Europe - ( Belgium, German, France, Switzerland, Florence and Italy )
..and many more tours in Turkey, UK and local tours/road travel in India - most of them are unplanned itinerary as we visit on the way to any places we like, will halt at any nearby hotel and go as per our convenience without worrying booking and reservations etc.,

The team behind Warner Bros. Studio Tour London – The Making of Harry Potter wanted to preserve and showcase these iconic props, costumes and sets so that Harry Potter fans could experience the magic of filmmaking [...]

I lived in Istanbul in year 1999-2000. Blue Mosque is one of the places on my “to see” list when I was on in Turkey. One of the big draws for me to that city - besides its amazing history as the former Roman capital (“Rome of the East”) (ca. 350s–1453) - is it's transformation into a major centre of architecture, painting, and miscellaneous art forms under the Ottoman rulers (ca. 1453–1926).[...]
