MY VERY FIRST BLOG: A LITTLE BIT ABOUT ME, MY LIFE AND MY PLANS

So the whole idea of starting a travel blog in the first place, is to do something productive with my interest for going places and getting to know their culture and tradition, even though I am not going to actually leave my house for another 10-12 months due to the present pandemic that is going on. 

Here's hoping to have everything to normal soon and I'm starting off my blog with something about me and why you should follow my blog. 

10 FACTS ABOUT ME:

1. My name is Swarnaa. I'm 21 years old and I am living in Howrah, West Bengal.

2. I am currently studying B.A. (H). in Applied Psychology. In fact, I am supposed to graduate this year. After that, I am planning to study MSc. in Clinical Psychology. I totally love my subject and find it very interesting to know about different people and their personalities. This is the reason, I want to travel to different places and get to know the culture and the people.

3. I stay with my mother and father and my little sister, who means the world to me and we all share the passion of travelling to different places. My father also loves to make travel documentary videos of us for our domestic viewing and most of the pictures are taking by him.

4. I have always wanted to see the Northern Lights with my eyes since I was small and it is my lifelong dream. 

5. Another lifelong dream of mine is to always keep traveling from one place to another without staying in a single place for more than a few days and to meet different people and taste different types of food. 

6. I am a foodie and I just LOVE to eat and as I said earlier, it is my dream to eat food from various places in the world. 

7. I am a huge fan of anime and Japanese culture. Someday I would love to visit Japan and see everything it has to offer.

8. A few of my hobbies include singing, writing my diary, watching animes, playing the games Sims 4 and Age of Empires II on my laptop, reading books and cooking. I also sometimes try out new hobbies but always fail to continue with it and abandon it after a while. 

9. I am a very social and extroverted person. I love to make new friends and spend time with my friends and family.I have a few close friends and my boyfriend who I know will always be there with me.  I have an elder brother who stays in a different place. It was his idea for me to start this blog.

10. I am a total animal lover. In fact, my whole family is an animal lover like me and though we can't have any pets as our apartment doesn't allow it, we regularly spend time with the street dogs and feed them. 

10 REASONS WHY I LOVE TO TRAVEL:

1. To meet new people and get to know their cultures and maybe make some new friends.

2. To eat different kinds of foods and drinks and taste new flavours.

3. To have different memories and experiences in my life, with my family and my friends that I can pass on to my kids and grandkids someday. 

4. To get away from the boredom and stress of everyday life, from constant collage classes, and studies and assignments. To be free for a few days.

5. To experience everything that the world has to offer me! And to know the unknown! 

There's this song 'Colours of the Wind' from the movie Pocahontas, that says, "If you walk the footsteps of a stranger, you'll learn things you never knew, you never knew".

6. To experience all sorts of living, from hotels to huts to tents (and probably caves too someday) and surviving through it. 

7. To be in a good mental shape and have some exercise once in a while! I am too lazy to exercise while at home! ;)

8. To collect different significant things or souvenirs from various places and display it in my home. It is something I love to do, reminds me of all my adventures and good times.

9. To  face unexpected situations and find out solutions to all those problems and learn for my future.

10. To never have any regrets on my deathbed. I will get just a single lifetime to experience everything in this world and I just want to keep experiencing everything I possibly can.

MY FUTURE TRAVEL PLANS

After the Pandemic is over, I am gonna tour the rest of India before stepping outside of it. I believe that there are tons of things that my country has to offer me and without seeing them, I don't want to travel outside. 

But once, I finish travelling inside India, extensively, I wish to visit Japan and stay there for a few months trying to tour everything that's possible within that time. After that, I would like to visit Europe and take a tour of London to France and make plans along the way. 

But that's a long way down the line, the next place I'll go to will mostly probably be the city of Delhi and Lucknow. I also want to visit Rajasthan and Gujarat. Let's hope for this Pandemic to end soon.

In this Blog, a few steps away from home, I am going to take you with me through all my travel and food adventures and all the wonderful scenes that mother earth has to offer.
