The idea of starting a travel blog came upon me back in the start of the year. Being deeply interested in traveling and writing, travel writing sounded like a fitting composition.
Every trip has its memorable moments and small little details, which I feel cannot be wholly represented by images alone. For example, a picturesque photo taken at the Giza pyramids may stir up the longing to be back but it doesn't spell out details like how much I got cheated or put off by the touts; these little things are equally important to me and I don't want to forget them.
Hence, since I'm never the guy who can capture pictures that speak a thousand words, I write a thousand words to describe and preserve both the happy and unhappy moments that complement the memories.
Now when I travel, I'd sometimes look at a particular object or an area and think whether it's something that I can write about. The whole thinking process can be very pressurising at times but I don't want to risk going back and painstakingly typing out a paragraph only to realise that I don't have a fitting picture to sit on top of it.
