Let your imagination run wild while you read about the antics of Phileas Fogg and his French valet Passepartout touring all around the world with a rescued Indian princess and a Scotland yard detective mistaking him as a bank robber.
OR
Get out there, like the television presenter Michael Palin did, and make that expedition yourself! The chance of finding a gorgeous Indian prince/princess on the way is slim, but you will certainly enrich yourself with the wisdom of the world we live in!
I do not know enough to work for Travel and Living but I have come to understand that the more one travels the smaller this planet seems to get…
When you embark on a journey…
You will interact with people who might never cross your path again...some eccentric and some almost angel like!
You will see sights that you may not visit again!
There is a thrill in getting lost and having to find your way back!
It’s always a pleasure to have your companions travel with you, but, it’s a pain to stick to a tour company!
The quirky me has travelled on a train with a ticket of an expired date( can’t believe how I managed to reach ahmedabad from pune on a jam packed train in 3rd AC inspite of that) and till date I check for my passport ten thousand times for fear of loosing it!
I harbour a passion for travel but there is a long way to go before I can call myself a connoisseur at it!
Need to earn my living first ;)

Hey...nicely written...I have been travelling ever since I was born(Dad being in army)....what u say rings true esp about meeting eccentric and angel like people whom you would never meet again...keep writing :)
Try to get lost somewhere along the east coast.
as soon as travel word comes to my mind..one picture comes in front of me..thanks to photographic memory i have..lol. But tht has been essence of my life till now. It was from a doordarshan serial back in 1980's...abt a guy who is lonely,traveller help everyone..nicesy guy ever..he is sleeping on a charpai n his sleepers on top of each other.( in indian mythology tht means there travel on the cards)..director wants us to belive the now he is dead n embarking on another journey. so travel has a bigger meaning than seeing diff places!!
