Folks at a Concert — Stories of people in the darkness

I was never into concerts myself. Never understood the idea of people paying a good deal, pushing through cramped crowds and standing for hours only to see the artists perform miles away. Having been to a third of a dozen in the past 6 months, I’ve realized there’s so much…

What Writing on Medium after a year feels like

The platform isn’t the same. The last article I wrote was over almost 8 months on Medium. I had a mental goal to always keep in touch with the platform but miserably lost touch — as you and I see it. So what went wrong? No, this isn’t a review…

The Secret Youtuber that Inspires Me the Most

Hint: Most of you know him — Stretching out, eating junk, and watching YouTube videos is my morning ritual. And just this very morning did I realize something about a YouTuber I follow. I’d to share it with you though it’s off my niche. Have you heard of Jason Gryniewicz? I hadn’t either. At least until I…

No, Travelers aren’t Tourists

Tourists are nosy. Travelers help. — Lazy vacations are nice. Vacations that let you travel somewhere exotic and have your favorite drink under the warm sun by the beach. Is that all that hits you when we speak of travel? I’m here to tell you otherwise. Sure, it’s about getting away from your daily routine, but it isn’t all about relaxing. A vacation is synonymous with tourists — Tourism. Travelers don’t seek places to relax or a ‘beautiful’ place to visit. They tend to wander where most don’t.

Mistakes I’ve Made When I Wrote My First Book

The biggest mistake one can make while writing a book is to give up. Writing a book can be exciting yet challenging at the same time, we’ve all been there. I almost gave up before my draft made it to an editor. But I did finish. Though I did finish…

What it’s like Managing a Business as a Uni Student

Trust me, it’s not as cool as it sounds. Before I make it sound like a ferocious clickbait, some things I’d like to disclose straight away before you jump at me — I don’t own a physical business. I run a travel blog. Though very tine, I call it a…
