Back with a B?

Let's just say, its been a while!

I took a really long break and much more than just me has changed over these 4 years. For me, I have gone ahead and got myself a shiny new degree (an MBA), relocated from India to the UK, changed my profession by sector and function AND got a new roommate in the form of a husband!

More importantly and much more impactfully, social media has changed and somewhat shifted how people consume content, which has also made me move to other platforms, most notably Instagram.

However (there always is one, right?), I have come to realize that while my photos capture the moods and beauty around me, I do feel the need to pen down or spill out the emotions and stories as I trot around the world. As making videos might take a while, I'm going to resurrect my writing and start with blog-lets. This one is an intro to what will follow over the next few weeks.

Now, for context, my husband is a legit traveller. I like to travel too, for the fun and the experiences, but he's got a goal- all countries by 2022 (he's at number 54!). Of course, as I have a 9 to 5 (let's just say that for now for my wishful thinking continues as 2018 draws to an end *sigh*) job, it is impossible for me to keep up with his goal, but I do get to tag along to some unique destinations and increase my count too (I'm at 35!).

Keeping this in mind, we spend a lot of time planning our holidays, so that they serve dual purposes of enjoyment and check box ticking. This year, I managed to visit 7 new and 5 old countries, partly with him and partly for work. I'll write my next 12 blogs on each of these experiences. It does go without saying that travel is fully therapeutic for both of us and we eat (well mostly- I'll tell you why), sleep and breath the cultures when we are there. That said, in some cases just one or two cities hardly do justice to soaking in a country, so we plan to go back and explore them in a much more holistic way some time soon!

Until my blogs come, do look at my Instagram handle (@thegirlwithsmallfeet) to see some of the experiences. Seriously, I do have very small feet, so just felt like the right name for someone still trying to take very big strides! :)

Adiós (as I'm currently in Spain!),
