In the Hope of Travelling

If I had to think back and identify my very first memory –it’d be the memory of a train journey. That’s how I fell in love with travelling –through multiple days and nights spent on trains with my parents, traversing all the diversities of our beautiful country, India.

I’m told I was neither fussy nor impatient –I would sit by the window, and gaze out at the barley fields or rivers, or what have you. Lost in thought, through the years, I’ve found myself through travelling.

Until now, my trips within India and abroad have been graciously financed by my parents (both travel enthusiasts just like me, I suppose it runs in the blood!), I now stand on the threshold of adulthood (okay, I’ll be honest, I’m a little past that) where financial independence looms dauntingly ahead!

So, nowadays, I often find myself browsing through Travel and tourism courses or some such thing –to give me hope for a career that allows me to earn a living off of something I absolutely love.

And let me tell you, as much as it seems like an unlikely happening, there are actually a large and varied number of things you can do to travel and make money at the same time! For example, you could get into travel writing, travel blogging, photography, fashion, politics…Oh, the list is simply endless. Think of any profession, and there’s no reason you can’t add a dash of travelling to it!

One prospect I found to be rather enticing was that of Travel and tourism courses. The very name is alluring enough, isn’t it? You could go into planning, organising, etc., you could become a travel agent, a tour operator, work at a museum… You could do anything you want to!

But you know what… With options amok, I find myself eager to dabble in a bit of everything. And maybe I will… Maybe one day you’re going to see my name become synonymous with the travel and tourism industry! Until then, fare thee well!
