Travel Is My Therapy


I love to travel, exploring new things, meeting with new people, You can call me a travel bug. Travel is my therapy.

"Travel is about the gorgeous feeling of teetering in the unknown." -Anthony Bourdain

Travelling makes you richer in many aspects of life and facilitates your growth. The more you travel, the smarter you become. It enables you to explore more about yourself and gives a new vision you look the world. When you dive into the unknown you learn something new and gain experience. Indeed, it makes you feel more alive. Travel adds more colour and adventure to your life. Every journey is a new story and every road has a story to tell. When we travel it does not mean life stops. It continues, but we live from a different perspective. It scales your vision towards life and stretches your mind with new experiences or memories.



“Once a year, go someplace you’ve never been before.” — Dalai Lama.

This quote encourages me to pack my bag and leave for that unknown place. Recently, I drove along the two most scenic landscapes of the world. Journey to the "Great Ocean Road," and the Milford Sound. First one is in New Zealand, Queenstown and another is in Australia,Melbourne.

Both Places are awarded the label of "world's most scenic trips. One is in Australia, Melbourne and another is in New Zealand, Queenstown. I am fortunate enough that I have had visited both places and if you asked my suggestion, it wouldn't be easy to choose one over another. Both destinations are ideal for the nature lover because wilderness is untouched and preserved. The tour will satisfy your wanderlust and heighten your awareness. Here weather can help you decide which road you should take as if you are winter lover than pick Milford Sound, Queenstown or The Great Ocean Road,Melbourne if you like mild weather.



It takes approximately 6 - 7 hours to reach both places, and every turn covers breathtaking scenery. The Milford sound is a fusion of spectacular natural beauty. The Queenstown trip would be incomplete without seeing this ethereal art and you could not afford to miss this...You will be amazed by the aesthetic art of nature. On one side, clouds hanging over the mountain peaks, on other side Sun Rays, scattering through the trees draw a phenomenal pattern on Earth.




 The Great Ocean Road covers breathtaking scenery, rainforest, magnificent  trees, flower, spectacular valleys, rivers, hills and so forth... It was a windy and rainy day. When we got to our destination, (The Great Ocean Road) it was still pouring. But we could not resist getting off the bus...And no need to say what happened next as our clothes were soaked and shoes full of dust. But the experience was beyond our words and we were speechless. Indeed, we were Mesmerized by the beauty of nature. Stunning...






If I could travel to a new place every day, I would jump at that opportunity in a heartbeat. Sometimes, we get caught in our daily lives and forget there is the whole world full of treasures and gems. Just pack your bag and let your hair down.

"The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page". - Saint Augustine

Before setting a goal, ask some questions to yourself

Image
Goal setting can be difficult, overwhelming and stressful sometimes. People give up and surrender to their dreams when they face constant failure.  We have a vague idea of what we need, yet it seems hard to achieve.  What do I want from my life?  The a nswer to this question will give you a deeper vision of all areas of your life. Asking question is imperative because sometimes our goals can be influenced by other achievement or success story. As a matter of fact, when people see the famous person and their luxurious lifestyle, many of them try and push themselves to have the same lifestyle.  For example, in India, many youngsters run away from home to Mumbai only to become a film star without proper research and training which leads them to frustration, anxiety or depression. It does not mean the having dream to be a Film star is wrong or impossible but prepare yourself for every possible outcomes or obstacle and take step accordingly. Proper research and study will he

Don’t indulge your mind in Comparison

Image
What do you see in this picture? Two leaves one big and one small, or two leaves with different shapes, or just two beautiful leaves which are unique and beautiful has no comparison at all? Did we ever think that most of the pain sufferings come with the comparison? We are so wonderful creature so amazing miracle of this universe but we compare ourselves with others and think that we are not enough. Might be we are not saying it loud, we are not accepting this fact but we have this thought in our unconscious mind.  If we trust on GOD/Self/Divine/Consciousness/Miracle how can we doubt its manifestation? This universe is Self-manifestation, so how come it can be imperfect? We bury in ego layer who know nothing, claim to know everything and try to judge this wonderful manifestation. :). Just think if there is no duality exists or there is no one else to compare how will we compare to yourself with others? how will we know that we are tall or small, black or whi

The Gift

Image
                                                                                   Do not let others control the key of your inner peace. One day, the Buddha and a large following of monks and nuns were passing through a village. The Buddha chose a large shade tree to sit beneath so the group could rest awhile out of the heat. He often chose times like these to teach, and so he began to speak. Soon, villagers heard about the visiting teacher and many gathered around to hear him. One surly young man stood to the side, watching, as the crowd grew larger and l arger. To him, it seemed that there were too many people travelling from the city to his village, and each had something to sell or teach. Impatient with the bulging crowd of monks and villagers, he shouted at the Buddha, "Go away! You just want to take advantage of us! You, teachers, come here to say a few pretty words and then ask for food and money!" But the Buddha was unruffled by these insults
