2016 has made me realize that a little bit of travelling can
do to one’s mind and soul! I am sure you would agree with me. After watching
everyone have a great time at their year-end vacations, I am getting all fuel
up to do the same! But, not during the times when everyone is going to travel.
I like to travel during that time of
the year when not a lot of people usually go on vacations. I like a nice and
relaxing vacation, with not a lot of people around me. During the holiday
season, most tourist places get crowded and I end up feeling like going from
one crowded city to another!
2017 is going to be all about travel and expect a lot of
vlogs up on my YouTube channel and posts on travel! I have already decided
where I would like to go!
This time I am sure I will go somewhere out of the country,
maybe the Middle Eastern countries or Europe. I have also decided that I will
be opting for Kuwait airways for my travels, because of all the praise I have
heard from my friends.

But, when travelling in India, I want to travel in style and
stay luxuriously. And somehow I want to stay at the Oberoi hotels,
know why? Because being from Kolkata, I have grown up passing by The Oberoi
Grand a number of times while in Esplanade, but could never stay there, since
my house is in Kolkata and Stay-cations were still not a thing back then! Now,
that I mentioned it, I might do a Stay-cation at the Grand!
What do you think about Stay-cations?? I actually love the
concept but, it is not really for me. I’d rather travel to a place I haven’t
explored before and have fun there!
These days we all are so overworked, a vacation is of
extremely high priority and if you are not soaking in the sun, trekking,
staying in a jungle or visiting those mountaintops, then you are missing out on
a lot!
Let me know about your travel plans for this year in the
comments!! Also which places should I visit from Bangalore??? Would you like to read travelogues here on the blog ??
Loads of love,
Priyanjana

My 2016 was all about Mumbai - Bangalore - Delhi and a few other real vacations 🤓
ReplyDeleteI sometimes prefer stay-cations when I do not get leaves, but would always prefer traveling to new places :)
ReplyDeleteI love travel, but because of varied reasons, I don't do it as much as I would like. Staycations are really not for me either.
