  • Truth could not be approached directly, that every attempt at direct expression became a simplification and therefore a lie, and that the "shortest way to sense" was rather long and indirect. - Richard Pevear on War & Peace. . . P.S. - I attempted this beast as part of #readalong organized by @khubaibliophile. And I definitely don't regret this. . . #readinggoals #warandpeace150 #solitude #greenery #ecoresort #hyderabadblogger #weekendgetawaysfromhyderabad #greenholidays #tolstoy #explorer #wanderer #nomadsofindia #digitalnomad #nomad #instaphoto #wanderlust #instatravel #dametraveler #baxkpacker #traveldiaries2019 #exploreeverything #girlswhotravel
  • #day4 of the #worldtour2018 started with early morning rafting in Rotorua. . . Yes, Rotorua is not just about thermal pools & volcanic parks. Rotorua rafting on Kaituna river, that takes you through the highest rafted waterfall in the world, Tutea falls, which is 7 m high 😱😍 is a must if you are in NZ north island . . I have experienced rafting earlier in Thailand, but that free fall through a 7 m high Tutea Waterfall gave me real chills & goosebumps 😬👻 (especially if you are not a swimmer 😬🤷) . . All kiwi crew, that is not just fun but also highly experienced, will make this ride even more fulfilling & memorable even if you are a first time rafter or don't know swimming at all. . . Adventure packed with nature is what NZ is all about 💃🤘 . . #rotorua #rafting #rafting🌊 #highestraftedwaterfall #kaituna #northislandnz #adventuretime #adventureisoutthere #bloggersofindia #indiantravelblogger #travelwriter #travelersnotebook #whitewaterrafting #huderabadblogger #instatraveling #riverrafting #ig_photooftheday #wonderful_places #wearetravelgirls #wearedigitalnomads #girlsthawander #ladiesgoneglobal #newzealandexperiences #newzealand🇳🇿
  • After visiting Hobbiton Movie Set on #day3, we drove to #Rotorua in the evening. . . The city is usually famous for natural thermal baths & private hot water pools. Of course we had one and of course I am not posting the pics 🤷😆 but there is something else you can do whenever you are in Rotorua. . . Redwood Tree Walk is something I would highly recommend if as a traveller you enjoy experimenting. A nocturnal experience that includes 30 min walk through 27 huge 117 year old Redwood Trees connected via suspension bridges & illuminated by unique lamp creations from New Zealand's world acclaimed design champion David Trubridge. . . It was almost as if I was walking through the world of Avatar with glitters & lights all around. Though we had a long & tiring day driving all the way from Auckland to Rotorua via Hobbiton, it was all worth in the end as the beauty of this forest was unbelievable. When art of a human amalgamates with the nature created by God, you can have nothing less than MAGIC 💖💫 . . The best time to start this walk is after 8:30 pm as it gets completely dark and the contrasts created by hanging lamps is stupendous. . . #newzealand🇳🇿 #northislandnz #worldtour2018 #redwoodstreewalk #treewalk #forestwalk #beautifulexperiences #rotorua #rotoruatreewalk #travelwriting #digitalnomaddiary #travelbloggersindia #travelbloggerindia #digitalnomadsofindia #digitalnomadgirls #traveltowrite #travelwriter #writersofig #writersofindia #newblogger #hyderabadblogger #traveldiary #pinthelocation #beautifullocations #lamps #nightwalk #nocturnal #womentraveler #travelgirlsgo
  • This is #day3 of our grand #worldtour2018, Hobbiton Movie Set. (yes, it took us 2 days to get to NZ from India, my longest flight ever, 16 hrs). . . We were in NZ for 2 weeks and covered both North & South Islands. Of course, you have to visit Hobbiton Movie Set when you are in New Zealand. It's a must. Especially if you are a book lover. Though I am yet to read Lord of the Rings, I was all excited to see the fantasy world come alive and walk through it💃⠀ .⠀ .⠀ We all, book lovers & movie buffs, have these deepest fantasies, to live that fictional world, that we get attached to quite often. And on top of thar if you also get the opportunity to live these fantasies ☺️ what more you could possibly ask for 🤷 .⠀ .⠀ I feel they should also come up with something like Game of Thrones world, what say ??? 🤔😍 . . #hobbiton #movielocations #movieset #newzealand🇳🇿 #northislandnz #roadtrip #booklover #bibliophile #newblogger #travelwriting #digitalnomaddiary #digitalnomadgirls #digitalnomadsofindia #hyderabadblogger #globetrotters #flowers #hobbithole #fictionaddiction #fictionworld #lordoftherings #womenwhowander #womentravelers #indiantravelgirl #indiantravellersquad #traveltowrite
  • It seems some #2009vs2019 trend is going on. Usually I don't give into trends but this time I will, as just today morning, I was discussing with my best friend how we are enjoying the process of ageing 😬 So I am in a mood to talk how I have grown. . #2009 - I was a young graduate just getting started with my MBA programme at IBS Hyd. It was first time I was leaving my home & going to stay alone away from my family. But that is exactly why I rejected my offers at MICA & IMNU in Ahmedabad, and chose a lower ranked college because I wanted to learn how to live independently. (Shhhh.....my parents still don't know this 😆🙊) . . #2019 - I have just stepped into my 30s. I have been travelling since 5 years, and taking baby steps to become a full fledged travel blogger apart from being a Research Scholar specializing in Human Brands & Social Media Behaviors. . . In between, I worked in Advertising & Banking then left both the jobs, found love, got married, did roadtrips all around India, travelled to 13 countries and counting more. . . I think I have done pretty well in 20s, lets see what I do with my 30s 🤔😍 . . #10yearschallenge #aginggracefully #indiantravelblogger #travelblogger #hyderabadblogger #thenandnow #newblogger #nostalgia #pastispresent #digitalnomaddiary #digitalnomadsofindia #digitalnomadgirls #gratefuleveryday #ladiesgoneglobal #travelgirlsrock #travelgirlsgo #igersofindia #igers_india
  • I have been quite inactive for last couple of days as we just came back to India from a 57 day long trip. I was jetlagged, drained and had too much of backlog both at work & home to be active here on social media. . . But anyway, in my upcoming posts I am going to share this exciting long trip around the world in detail in terms of places visited, experiences we had and lessons learnt apart from usual tips, recommendations & other stuff. . . We started with New Zealand in Nov 2018 and then went to Unites States in Dec and then had a wonderful Christmas vacation in Central Europe. . . Hope you enjoy this journey through my posts as much as we did. Do let me know if there is anything else you would like to know apart from what I will be sharing through your comments or even DMs, otherwise just enjoy the pictures 🤷😍 . . #worldtour2018 #worldtravelig #exploringtheglobe #golbelletravels #roamtheplanet #worldtravelbook #passionpassport #nomadlife #workfromanywhere #worldnomads #newblogger #travelbloggerindia #travelwriter #travelersnotebook #hyderabadblogger #indinablogger #traveltowrite #roadtrip #newzealand🇳🇿 #unitedstatesofamerica🇺🇸 #germany🇩🇪 #austria🇦🇹 #czechrepublic🇨🇿 #poland🇵🇱 #hungary🇭🇺 #girlwhotravels #girlslovetravel #ladiesgoneglobal #travelwithme . .

  • First time I came to know about Budapest was when it was mistaken & presented as Italy in a Bollywood Movie 😆 . . The city is unbelievable beautiful given its landscapes & buildings....Just like every European city, adorable mediveal buildings are scattered, with all kinds of architecture styles, on both the sides of the river Danube....only that it is prettier here than any other city in Europe I have been to. . . But just like Prague.....it has gt now overcrowded. Infrastructure, cleanliness & the beauty of the city has been compromised. I always have this feeling that I wish I was born earlier....may be in early 20th Century....for many other reasons...But this feeling & desire gets intensified whenever I visit a beautiful city like Prague, Budapest or even Salzburg.... . . You just wish you were there in past to adore these beauties completely & peacefully....Anyway but now it is time to look ahead & not live in past... . . What are your plans for New Year's Eve....I will be in Vienna to celebrate mine....Please shoot if any suggestions . . #budapest #budapesthungary #budapestchristmas #budapestcastle #ilovebudapest #ilovebudapest❤️ #christmasineurope #sheexplores #sheisnotlost #greycoat #blackboots #thighhighboots #retrostyle #travelfashion #travelfashionista #travelootd #winterfashion #wintertravels #indiantravelblogger #indianbloggers #hyderabadblogger #instragrammers #igersindia #newblogger #travelwriting #digitalnomadsofindia #digitalnomaddiary #digitalnomadgirls
