Numero Uno

Hi everybody!

I just created this blog a few seconds back, and yep, this is the very first post. Indeed, you are lucky and priveleged to be reading this historical inaugural entry of mine on Blogger! :)

I'm not new to the blogging world. I've been running a successful blog for over a year elsewhere. But that is a general blog, something catering to mostly friends and family. The desire to start this blog came recently. As my blog title suggests, I'm a wanderer. No one ever gave me that title, I gave it to myself. And I try hard to live up to the name! I travel around the world by myself or with friends whenever a chance arises and have been fortunate to have seen and experienced a lot over the years. Back home, during my study years, I always took off on domestic routes. Coming from a country uniquely diverse and rich in different cultures, I was lucky to experience much of it firsthand. Once I reached Dubai in 2004, I continued my travels, but switching on to an international mode!

So many different places, different cultures, different sights and different sounds.. the memorable postcards from these trips are etched in my mind. But I felt the need to store it somewhere..what if I forgot about it a few years down the lane..what if new postcards overshadowed the old ones? I wouldn't want that to happen ever..moreover, sharing my experiences this way also makes me reach out to people, and I've been lucky that many people do like to hear my travel stories!

This blog will feature brief "picture-less" postcards of the most memorable experiences, unusual incidents and generally anything related to my travels which I found interesting enough to remember and share. Along with that, whenever possible and if I feel like it, I'll also add other stuff to keep everyone visiting entertained! From your side, keep the comments coming and don't forget to bookmark this page:)

Time to post this first postcard. Wish me all the best!

hello wanderer.

why do i have a strange and scary sense of deja vu.
my motto in life is ; map out your life but do it in pencil.
i have a map and coloured in similar to the one you have. i proudly list 34 countries in my list straddling all 5 continents. and i started late---- at 26!
i am looking forward to your blogs.... will definitely visit again.

beer gone flat!!!

Hello beer gone flat,

Nice name you have there!:)

Pleased to read your comment, and boy I envy your 34 country list! Truly, you are a super experienced traveller, I can only dream of reaching that number some day:)

Your motto is very thought provoking, I might just adopt it myself!!

Looking forward to more visits from you:)
