Why do I love travel and adventure? Well the first reason would be because it gives me a chance to escape from the four walls that we all sometimes feel trapped inside. Just that I feel trapped more often than just ‘sometimes’. I love travelling for it gives me the freedom to be me. I love climbing up hills and mountains, wandering around trails shadowed by huge pine trees, crossing new streets, meeting new people, eating new food, experiencing new culture – in fact taking in everything that a place has to offer. And waking up as a stranger in a strange town – I absolutely relish that awesome feeling.
If I were to tell you about my favourite trips and travel memories, then this one sided conversation would probably just go on and on. So I will tell you about one of my favourite trips – It was when I went all the way up to Mcleodganj in Himachal Pradesh and stayed there on my own for a couple of months.

| The lovely family I lived with! |
In Mcleodganj, I lived with a local family who take care of my lodging and boarding, and my days there were spent wandering deep into the mountains exploring the waterfalls and local tribes settled there. I also participated in quite many adventure and volunteering activities there. One volunteering activity that I always cherish would be working at a child care centre looking after Tibetan kids who either had a single parent going to work daily or were parent less. I think this was a great experience, contributing my bit as a traveller.
Here are some pictures from the days spent at Mcleodganj.
I believe being a part of Cox & Kings' Grab Your Dream campaign would be a once-in-a-lifetime kind of experience - travelling to an international destination for free and exploring its customs, cultures and all that it has to offer! A dream-come-true opportunity indeed! Here's hoping I get to be one of the lucky ones selected for this campaign! Fingers crossed!
